It has now been almost once month since free agency opened, so the majority of this year's notable unrestricted free agents (UFAs) have been signed. Although this is true, there are also a few interesting players who still have not found their new homes.
Former Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk is among the top UFAs remaining, and it is pretty surprising, given the season he just had.
While the Penguins in 2024-25, Grzelcyk had the best offensive season of his career thus far. In 82 games with the Metropolitan Division club, he scored one goal and set new career highs with 39 assists and 40 points. With numbers like these, he would have the potential to be a nice addition for a team needing more offense from the point and help on the power play.
Grzelcyk should eventually find his new team, even if it is taking him longer than most expected. Besides being able to provide solid offense from the point, his high amount of experience also adds to his appeal.
When looking at teams around the league that could use some help on the left side of their blueline, the Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, and New York Rangers are three clubs that stand out. Perhaps one of them could end up being a fit for Grzelcyk.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what happens with Grzelcyk this summer. Although he has yet to be signed, that should change before the season begins.
