NHL Rumors: 3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations For Connor Brown

The Edmonton Oilers' season has come to an end, and they once again have lost to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final. Now, the Oilers are entering the summer with multiple pending unrestricted free agents, and forward Connor Brown is one of them.

If Brown hits the free-agent market on July 1, there should be plenty of interest in him. Due to this, let's discuss three teams who could look to sign him now.

Carolina Hurricanes

The Hurricanes will likely look to boost their bottom six this summer, so they could be a team to keep an eye on when it comes to Brown. When looking at their group, he could work well on their third line and would also be another option for their penalty kill if signed.

Calgary Flames

The Flames could be another team to watch when it comes to Brown. Their bottom six could use some improvement, and bringing in a veteran like Brown would help things on that front. His playoff experience could also make an appealing target to a Flames club looking to get back into them.

Vegas Golden Knights

The Golden Knights and Brown could be a good match. He would have the potential to give their bottom six a bit more offensive production, which is something that the Golden Knights would benefit from. He could be a strong fit on their third line with Ivan Barbashev and William Karlsson if signed.
