Veteran James Van Riemsdyk has made it clear that he intends to continue his NHL career, and heading into the 2024-25 season, he's attracted significant interest.

As the 2024-25 NHL regular season approaches and the initial flurry of free agency has settled, several key players remain unsigned. Among them is James Van Riemsdyk, who last played for the Boston Bruins. At 35 years old, Van Riemsdyk may not be getting any younger, but he still has plenty of energy left.

Since leaving Boston as a free agent, Van Riemsdyk has drawn interest from multiple Original Six teams this summer. Recently, reports have confirmed that seven teams are still pursuing the veteran forward.

I've heard the Devils are one of six teams that would have interest in JVR playing on a one-season deal. The Wild are still a possibility. So is a return to the Bruins. Other potential destinations if playing close to home doesn't work out: Anaheim, Tampa, Vegas.

While his recent performance may not be as impressive, with three consecutive seasons of scoring 40 points or less, his experience and leadership make him a valuable addition for any team seeking to bolster their roster. As the best remaining free agent on the market, Van Riemsdyk's decision is anticipated soon with training camp on the horizon.
