As we approach August, Derek Stepan remains on the lookout for a new team. However, there's some interest building around the 33-year-old, with the Anaheim Ducks and Philadelphia Flyers both showing interest in the veteran.
Meanwhile, the Flyers are in a rebuilding phase and are eager to add more leadership to guide their young players. While Stepan may not be a high-impact forward anymore, he could still provide a solid boost to the Flyers' fourth line at a league-minimum $850,000 contract, about 3x less than what Nic Deslauriers makes.
