The offseason in the National Hockey League is well underway. The draft is less than a week out, the trade market is already piping hot, and free agency is just around the corner.
Unfortunately for the chaos agents out there, this year’s pending free agency class is rather thin. However, there are still plenty of names worth taking a look at. And someone who fits a lot of what general manager Kyle Dubas is looking for is forward Eeli Tolvanen.
