Matt Grzelcyk, an impending unrestricted free agent, is generating interest around the NHL as he prepares to potentially leave the Boston Bruins. As the playoffs approach, several teams find themselves needing additional defensive support, and Grzelcyk's skill set makes him an intriguing option.

The Florida Panthers, currently vying for playoff positioning, could greatly benefit from Grzelcyk's ability to move the puck and contribute offensively from the blue line. Adding a dynamic defenseman like him to their roster might solidify their chances as they push for a deep postseason run.

Another team to consider is the Calgary Flames, who have struggled with consistency this season. Grzelcyk's experience and skating ability could provide the Flames with an essential upgrade on defense, helping to mitigate some defensive lapses that have cost them critical points throughout the year.

Finally, the Vancouver Canucks may also be in play for Grzelcyk. With a mix of young talent and veterans, adding a player of Grzelcyk's caliber could enhance their defensive corps and provide leadership as they look to build a more competitive team for the future.
