Matt Beleskey is a hot commodity

Matt Beleskey is coming off a strong year in 2014-15 and a record year in 2013-14 where he set personal bests in goals, points and shots while only playing 65 games.

The Ducks elected not to bring him back.  But many others are interested:

Beleskey is going to command a big payday.  So if we narrow down to the clubs that have the most cap room, GeneralFanager shows us:

1. Arizona $32.5M below the cap

2. Nashville $26.3M

3. Anaheim $24.7M (could still happen if they are letting him play the market)

4. New Jersey $22.0M

5. Winnipeg $21.7M

6. Calgary $20.9M

7. Washington $20.7M

8. Florida $19.1M

9. Colorado $16.7M

10. New York Islanders $16.7M

11. Toronto $16.5M

12. San Jose $16.1M

Montreal could be in the mix since they did not offer P.A. Parenteau

In a relatively weak free agency pool, it is likely that Beleskey will be handsomely rewarded.  The only question remaining is which team will close the deal.
