Sounds like the Florida Panthers are actively shopping Anthony Duclair, who is entering the final year of his contract.

![Rumor mill: Anthony Duclair on the trading block](https://cdn.buminteractif.com/2023/06/anthony-duclair.jpg)
The draft is just around the corner, and when you say draft, you say transactions. There have already been several in the last few days, but there’s no end in sight for the NHL.
NHL Network ‘s David Pagnotta explained on Tuesday that, in fact, the Panthers are “actively” offering Duclair to other NHL teams. He should find a new home very soon.
Duclair is in the final year of a $3 million-a-year contract. He amassed 58 points, including 31 goals, in 74 games in 2022-23. It’s a bargain, and he’ll certainly be getting a raise on his next contract.
The end of Alex Killorn in Tampa Bay?
After so many years of loyal service, it looks like it’s time for Alex Killorn to pack his bags and find a new team. Again, David Pagnotta reported the news that Killorn would not accept a long-term contract with a low salary to stay in Tampa Bay.
The Lightning pitched Alex Killorn a long-term offer at a low AAV to stay in Tampa, but it doesn’t sound like that’ll get it done. As of now, he’s likely hitting the market July 1 unless TB can move money.

Bruins don’t expect veterans to return
It seemed clear in everyone’s mind that Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci will not be returning to the NHL next season. However, the Bruins still seem to have hope.
Boston is currently operating under the assumption that both players won’t make the roster next year.
The Bruins are operating under the assumption that Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci won’t be back, president Cam Neely said. But they’re still hopeful they will be and communication is open with the players. They’re giving them space and time to make decisions on their futures.

In fact, the Bruins are prepared to see them leave, but have offered both players the chance to negotiate if they’re interested. The decision rests with Bergeron and Krejci.
The Sharks are ready to move
The San Jose Sharks have made no secret of the fact that they are ready to trade their fourth overall pick if the right opportunity presents itself. In fact, they’d be willing to back off. General manager Mike Grier recently explained that he’s open to all options.

Florida interested in Tyler Bertuzzi
The Panthers may be trying to trade Anthony Duclair, but they’re sure to find someone to replace him, and that someone would be Tyler Bertuzzi.

Bertuzzi’s contract expires on July 1 and he will become an uncompensated free agent.
Several other teams would also be interested in signing Bertuzzi as a free agent. He’s in line for a big contract, having scored 10 points in 7 games during the Bruins’ series against the Panthers.
