Six teams are interested in pending unrestricted free agent Patrick Maroon, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.
Maroon was acquired from the Edmonton Oilers by the New Jersey Devils at the trade deadline in return for forward J.D. Dudek and third-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft last season.
After coming over in the deal, Maroon scored three goals and added 10 assists to give him 17 goals and 26 assists in 74 combined games between the two teams.
The 30-year-old was drafted in the sixth-round (No. 161 overall) in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. After struggling through parts of five seasons with the Oilers and Anaheim Ducks, Maroon found his scoring touch two seasons ago when he recorded 27 markers.
He is coming off a three-year, $6 million deal that carried a cap hit of $2 million per season.
