Nolan Patrick was the 2nd overall pick in the 2017 Draft and has played for the Philadelphia Flyers and Vegas Golden Knights.

Currently a free agent, he may make an excellent addition to someone else, even though very few teams seem interested in signing him.

Cheap FA that would be interesting adds to the #Canucks that are currently available.

The Vegas Golden Knights gave Patrick a chance to become what many expected, which was a 2-way, do-it-all center who would produce points like a 2nd overall pick.

In Vegas, however, things did not quite work out.

Chicago, however, is in a great position to acquire unproven talent and revitalize their careers. Under Luke Richardson, Patrick could arguably do that here on a cheap prove-it contract.

This past season the injury bug bit him, to the point where he only played 25 NHL games and put up 7 points on the season.

Could he like Max Domi, experience a career revival in Chicago? It might be worth a shot.
