Free Agency has been off the charts. We have seen star players going places we just wouldn't expect. Now, there are still two notable free agents still on the market and they both have something in common. Both know how to win and win the Stanley Cup of course.
Boston Bruins centerman and arguably the best two-way hockey player in the NHL Patrice Bergeron and Current Stanley Cup champion Nazem Kadri both are available for signing.
Two different players who have different needs. One looking to end his career with another hoist of Lord Stanley and the other looking to stay champ and make a few "scheckles" at the same time.
But where will they end up? Here are some potential landing spots for these two free agents.

Patrice Bergeron
A career of 18 years is gliding on the skates of Bergeron. What more can he prove? Nothing. Hockey players play to play and if he decided to retire- off into the sunset you go a champ and a Hall of Famer. But if he continues to play- Where would he go? Right at home. Essentially, it's probably best to hang the skates up. A long incredible career he has had but if he continues to play, no chance he leaves Boston. Retire or stay a Bruin.
Everything lies in the decision of Patrice Bergeron wanting to come back and what Sweeney will do with the Krejci situation. As of right now, their #1 and #2 centers are Charlie Coyle and Pavel Zacha Yiiiikes!� Olivier LeBlanc (@MrWhite1079) July 25, 2022
Nazem Kadri
It's good to be the champ, isn't it? Nazem Kadri has yet to sign with a team and a number of insiders couldn't figure out why the center doesn't have a deal yet. Have the Ave's been clearing cap space? Are they not interested? What is happening?
Some notable @NHL UFAs who still don't have a deal signed yet.

Where do you want to see these players sign? 🤔 #NHLFreeAgency� Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) July 25, 2022
One team i can see signing Kadri are the New York Islanders. League source told The Athletic through a text message on Friday that he had «heard rumblings» that the Isles want Kadri and are actively pushing for him. «It does make some sense,» he added. Yes, it does. Essentially, the Islanders don't need another centerman, he has played wing before though. The Islanders might choose to shift Mathew Barzal to the wing to give Kadri his centerman post.
