We are now in the month of August and there are plenty of good players available on the free agent market, including a surprising name in PK Subban.

Subban is coming off a contract that gave him a big payday when he signed with the Montreal Canadiens former General Manager Marc Bergevin for 8 years.

However ever since Subban was traded from the Canadiens for Shea Weber he's been on a noticeable decline. It got even worse when he was traded yet again from the Predators to the Devils.

Subban's agent Don Meehan, who represents alot of big name players says that Subban wants to play in the NHL next season. One things is for sure he's not likely going to be getting the close to the $9,000,000 million dollars he was making on his last contract.

"Some of these issues are in play as we speak, so I can't get a definitive response from some teams in terms of moving ahead, but I have had expressions of interest for him to date. But the teams that have expressed interest aren't in a position to contract now because they've got other things in play."

There were rumors of talks between Canadiens new General Manager Kent Hughes and Subban's agent however that likely won't come to fruition as the Canadiens are one of those teams with no available cap space to make Subban a deal.

The Hockey Writers would also reveal the Nashville Predators, Edmonton Oilers, and Buffalo Sabres are believed to be the three teams that Subban will likely sign with this season.
