With the Rookie Faceoff Tournament in the rearview mirror and training camp right around the corner, the Anaheim Ducks are quickly gearing up for the 2024-25 season. It may be another down campaign for the rebuilding Ducks, who have failed to make the postseason for a franchise-record six straight seasons. Despite recent history, there’s much
Season Previews
The 2023-24 season was a failure in every way conceivable for the Buffalo Sabres. The team took a noticeable step back from the group that nearly made the playoffs during the 2022-23 season. That regression came, in part, because of regressions from key players. The Sabres have their share of weaknesses going into the season.
The St. Louis Blues begin their training camp on Sept. 19 and finish on Sept. 22. The camp will include players from their NHL roster, American Hockey League (AHL) roster, and range of prospects. Players can show off their skill and worthiness through camp practices and pre-season NHL games, which will determine the final roster
The Toronto Maple Leafs are officially kicking off the Auston Matthews era with him taking over the captaincy this week, and with it, he becomes the next leader for the teams next run of young talent. Some of those players have already started their NHL careers — like Nick Robertson and Matthew Knies — while
Late last week, we looked at five NHL teams who could regress this coming season. Today, we’ll look at five teams who struggled a season ago and have bounce-back potential in 2024-25. Let’s get right to it. Seattle Kraken 2023-24 season: 34-35-13, 81 points, 6th in Pacific The Seattle Kraken took a significant step back
The Boston Bruins did not have a lot of room to make a ton of moves at last season’s trade deadline in March. With little cap space but still needing to bolster up the blue line, they traded for Andrew Peeke from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Jakub Zboril and a 2027 third-round
When talking about a 19-year-old rookie like Matvei Michkov, someone who is still unaccustomed to North American culture, it makes sense why some would be conservative in projecting his numbers. But this Philadelphia Flyers prospect is not an ordinary player. He has the upside to blow even his more optimistic point projections for 2024-25 out
The Edmonton Oilers head into the 2024-25 season with only one goal: winning the Stanley Cup. This is within reach for the franchise, not only because they made it to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last season, but also because they did not lose any core pieces this offseason. While the core remains
The Tampa Bay Lightning recently released the rosters for Prospect Camp and the NHL Rookie Showcase. Among those invited was defenseman Max Crozier, who appeared in 13 games for the Lightning in 2023-24. He’ll get a chance to show off more of what he can do before the regular season gets underway. While the Lightning
With the addition of Matvei Michkov to the Philadelphia Flyers’ offense, there’s only one small, young winger on anyone’s mind right now. However, there’s another one to be taken notice of: Bobby Brink. Brink, a 23-year-old, signed a two-year extension worth $1.5 million annually in the 2024 offseason which reads as a “prove it” deal.
With the 2024-25 NHL season looming ever closer, the Buffalo Sabres should be taking stock of their talent and really assessing what it is they expect out of each player. Realistic expectations are always a good thing to have, but after yet another season of underperforming, there needs to be a lot more shown from
With Thatcher Demko’s availability uncertain for the start of 2024-25, the Vancouver Canucks’ goaltending depth has come into question. If he’s unable to start on Oct. 9 against the Calgary Flames, backup Arturs Silovs will once again take over and continue his run from the 2024 Playoffs when he started every game after Casey DeSmith
The Florida Panthers enter the 2024-25 season as defending Stanley Cup Champions for the first time in franchise history. They look to end this season the same way they finished their last by lifting Lord Stanley’s holy grail again. The last team to win back-to-back championships was the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 and 2021.
Last but not least in our offseason division roundup is the Pacific. The race in the top four was one of the most competitive in 2023-24, but some of the league’s worst teams were also in the Pacific. While many teams improved, it might not necessarily lead to change in what looks like a top-heavy
As we eagerly await the beginning of the 2024-25 NHL season, let’s take a look at the top players in the league at each age along with some honorable mentions. For simplicity, I’ll use how old each player is when the season starts on Oct. 8 to determine their age. What does that list look
Atlantic Division roundup? Check. Metropolitan Division roundup? Check. Now, let’s move on to the Western Conference, starting with the Central Division, which looks more balanced than it did a season ago. Which teams improved the most this offseason? And which ones may have gotten a little worse? Let’s take a look. Dallas Stars 2023-24 season:
The Colorado Avalanche were busy during the 2024 NHL offseason. Though the organization shied away from significant trades or signings, general manager Chris MacFarland and the rest of the executive group bolstered the team’s depth up front and on the blue line despite being handcuffed by the looming uncertainty of the Gabriel Landeskog and Valeri
Last week, the Columbus Blue Jackets completed a bit of business that needed to be done. Star player Patrik Laine requested a trade after a tough few seasons on and off the ice, and new general manager Don Waddell did the best he could in a tough situation sending him to the Montreal Canadiens.
