Pending unrestricted free agent Patrick Sharp has been contacted by nine teams as he looks for a new contract on July 1, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.

Sharp endured a trying season with the Dallas Stars in 2016-17, as two separate concussions and a season-ending hip surgery limited him to just 48 games.

Ultimately, Sharp's misfortune eliminated any leverage he might hold against potential suitors for a lucrative contract, but there's reason to believe the 35-year-old still has something left in the tank, health permitting.

While he notched just 18 points last season, Sharp has eclipsed the 30-goal mark four times in his career, topping 20 tallies on three different occasions. He's also a three-time Stanley Cup champion, and could potentially fill a need on several rosters to bolster an attack.
