Despite notching only 12 goals and 25 points last season, Los Angeles Kings winger Tobias Rieder is becoming quite the hot commodity in NHL free-agent circles.

Reports emerged earlier in the week regarding a handful of Canadian teams in the mix to sign the pending unrestricted free-agent forward. Latest reports Friday indicated those teams being the Edmonton Oilers, Montreal Canadiens, Calgary Flames, and Vancouver Canucks, according to The Athletic's Craig Custance.
Rieder was drafted by the Oilers in the fourth round of the 2011 NHL Draft but played most of his career with the Arizona Coyotes before being dealt to the Kings in February in exchange for backup netminder Darcy Kuemper.
The Florida Panthers and New York Rangers are also in the mix to land the German winger, per Custance.
