The NHL's free agency period has been opened for just over a month now and several notable names remain available for teams around the league.

One of those names still available is 27-year-old forward Tyler Motte, who was traded at the deadline in March from the Vancouver Canucks to the New York Rangers.

According to Rick Dhaliwal, at least four or five teams have shown interest in the Port Huron (Michigan) native but need to move out salary in order to open up space to sign him.

"4-5 teams have shown serious interest in signing former Canucks forward Tyler Motte but financials still need to be worked out as some teams are looking to move other salaries out." Dhaliwal said.

In 58 games between Vancouver and New York last season, Motte recorded fifteen points (seven goals, eight assists), 22 penalty minutes and was a plus-two. He went on to add two goals and four penalty minutes in fifteen games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Rangers.
