    Toronto Maple Leafs

    I know, I know. The Leafs are cursed. Toronto has been to the playoffs each of the last eight seasons but only emerged from the first round once. However, this roster has too much talent for that to continue. Auston Matthews, who led the NHL with 69 goals last season, is the franchise’s new captain, taking over from John Tavares. The Leafs also have a new head coach, Craig Berube, who led the Blues to the Stanley Cup in his first year in charge (2019). His impact from the bench, along with th...

    Edmonton Oilers

    Given the parity of the Stanley Cup playoffs, I’m often hesitant to back the odds-favorite. Still, it’s tempting with a team like Edmonton. The Oilers started the 2023-24 campaign 3-9-1, but everything changed when they fired HC Jay Woodcroft and replaced him with Kris Knoblauch. The team posted a 46-18-5 record the rest of the way, producing an incredible 16-game winning streak — the second-longest in NHL history — that started before Christmas and ended in February. Edmonton went on to reac...

    New Jersey Devils

    The Devils were inarguably the NHL’s biggest disappointment last season, finishing seventh in the Metropolitan with 81 points — 24.5 points below their preseason projected total. New Jersey was ultimately undone by its defense and goaltending, two areas GM Tom Fitzgerald addressed this offseason. He sent defenseman Kevin Bahl and a 2025 first-round pick to Calgary for goalie Jacob Markstrom, who should bring stability to a team that used five netminders last season. He also brought in veteran...

    Dallas Stars

    The Stars have reached the Western Conference Final two consecutive years, losing in six games to the Golden Knights and Oilers. Is this the year Dallas finally breaks through? The loss of veteran forward Joe Pavelski, who retired after recording 67 points in his age-39 season, is significant. However, the emergence of guys like Wyatt Johnston and Mason Marchment should help subsidize his production. As long as Jake Oettinger is between the pipes, the Stars should be Stanley Cup contenders. T...

    New York Rangers

    The Rangers won the President’s Trophy in their first season under head coach Peter Laviolette, setting franchise records with 114 points and 55 regular-season wins. However, New York ultimately fell short when it mattered most, losing the Eastern Conference Final to the Panthers in six games. That was no fault of Shesterkin, who stood on his head at times in the playoffs, posting a .927 SV% despite facing nearly 33 shots per game. GM Chris Drury seems content to run it back with essentially...

    Nashville Predators

    After falling in the first round of the playoffs to the Vancouver Canucks, the Predators were arguably the biggest winners of the NHL offseason. Nashville brought in 40-goal scorers Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, who add Cup-winning experience from their previous stops in Tampa Bay and Vegas and firepower to a lineup that finished 10th in scoring last season. GM Barry Trotz also re-signed two-time All-Star netminder Juuse Saros to a long-term deal and brought in blueliner Brady Skj...

    Tampa Bay Lightning

    Stamkos and defenseman Mikhail Sergachev may be gone, but the Lightning still have plenty of talent. The decision to sign free agent Jake Guentzel will help Tampa cope with the loss of their longtime captain, as the talented winger will slot in on the top line with Brayden Point and NHL points leader Nikita Kucherov. Sergachev will be tougher to replace in the long term, but the return of veteran blueliner Ryan McDonagh, who won back-to-back Cups with Tampa Bay in 2020 and 2021, helps keep th...
