2018 Free Agency Target: Is it worth taking a flyer on Tobias Rieder?

Tobias Rieder, a 25-year-old forward, will be hitting the free-agent market this coming Sunday. The German is coming off a season where he split the year with the Arizona Coyotes and Los Angeles Kings, scoring 12 goals, and 25 points, in 78 total games.

In a market with a few big names like John Tavares, James van Riemsdyk, ans Paul Stastny, Rieder’s name doesn’t shine as brightly. He had an annual cap hit of $2.25 million over the last two seasons, and could come relatively cheap to any suitor who comes calling.
