Antoine Vermette fielding offers from 5 teams, decision to come Monday

The market for Antoine Vermette appears to be hot.

Vermette currently has offers from five teams and will be making a decision on his new destination sometime on Monday, according to his agent Allan Walsh.

The 34-year-old was bought out by the Arizona Coyotes earlier this month in somewhat of a surprising move. Vermette posted 17 goals and 21 assists in 76 games last season, but it's clear the Coyotes want to disperse ice time to younger players.

A strong faceoff man, Vermette is the type of veteran that could add some solid depth to a contender. Just ask the Chicago Blackhawks, who picked up Vermette for their 2014-15 Stanley Cup run, and watched him post seven points in the postseason while recording a sparkling 58.7 percent mark in the faceoff circle.
