The NHL season is fast approaching, and with training camps set to open in a few weeks, there are still a few big-name free agents still available. After Phil Kessel signed with the Vegas Golden Knights last week, none of the remaining free agents has the kind of star profile of P.K. Subban.

At 33 years old, Subban is headed into his 13th season and is coming off a three-year stint with the New Jersey Devils, which saw two of his worst point-production seasons as well as lower-than-average possession stats at 5-on-5.

Last season, his CorsiFor percentage was fifth on the Devils among defensemen, but his expected goals percentage was second-best with the D corps. At one point in his career, Subban was a key figure on the power play, but that’s evaporated the past two years. Considering the Devils were a lottery team, it’s a bit more damning than it seems.

Subban is still out there in search of an opportunity with another team, and at this point, you’ve got to think looking for a team in pursuit of a Stanley Cup would get priority. Then again, a healthy dose of ice time and the opportunity to show he’s still got it could be just as appealing. But which places make sense for the 2013 Norris Trophy Winner? Let’s look around the league.

Boston Bruins

We know what you’re thinking: “Why would Subban want to play for the team he reveled in torturing during his time with the Montréal Canadiens?” The answer is easy: There’s opportunity to be had.

The Bruins had a laundry list of defensemen who had surgery in the offseason who most likely will not be available to play when the season opens in October. Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) may not be ready until December, Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) is likely out until November, while Mike Reilly (ankle) and Jakub Zboril (knee) may be back in time for training camp.

Playing without McAvoy for two months is rough because he’s a Norris-caliber defenseman. Grzelcyk is one of their better puck handlers and has a solid all-around game in which his offensive abilities are his strong point. McAvoy is a righty shot and patrols the right side of the defense. Coincidentally, that’s also where Subban plays. Finding someone to replace McAvoy is an impossibility. There just won’t be anyone good enough.

But the Bruins lack blue line depth, and if they’re in need of a puck mover who can help in their time of need, asking Subban to pinch hit and provide depth couldn’t hurt. New coach Jim Montgomery also brings a style of hockey that demands strong defensive play, which could help reduce some of Subban’s more aggressive tendencies.

Vegas Golden Knights

There’s no brighter city than Las Vegas, and there’s no NHL player who embraces the limelight like P.K. Subban. There’s also the fact that the Golden Knights could stand to use some depth all throughout their defensive unit.

Vegas owner Bill Foley has been all about winning and bringing the height of sports entertainment to the Strip. Through five seasons, he’s been able to do that…until last season, however. Vegas missing the playoffs became a huge point of consternation for the team's management, and that it is fairly cap-strapped makes it difficult to fix up the roster. Of course, it has found ways around that. With Robin Lehner being out for the year as well as adding an injured Shea Weber’s contract, Vegas has plenty of LTIR spending ahead to take care of things. So why not add some experience to the blue line by adding Subban?

Vegas has six defensemen squared away, and with elite players like Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore to go with solid support from Alec Martinez, Brayden McNabb, and Zach Whitecloud the Golden Knights are in good shape. Ben Hutton and Nicolas Hague should round out their NHL setup, but Vegas can always use a little more help. Asking Subban to lean into his strengths of carrying the puck and contributing to the offense could give the Knights' attack a jolt.

Subban’s personality is a natural fit for the aura of Las Vegas, too. There are some cities in the NHL that get a boost when personalities play there, and Vegas is one of them. It could use a little bit of juice right now.
