Offseason Breakdown: Florida Panthers By: Chris Nosek The Panthers are the easiest team to hate. Having won the last two Stanley Cups, especially given that they used LTIR to win last season. They were able to re-sign all three of their biggest unrestricted free agents. Yes, they had help from Florida being a no income tax state. However, this season they will have to contend with new rules pertaining to Long Term Injured Reserve.

Offseason Breakdown: Los Angeles Kings By: Chris Nosek For the fourth straight season the Kings lost to the Oilers in the first round of the playoffs. Last season looked like the season they would finally be able to knock the Oilers out. Each of the first two games in the series the Kings got out to strong starts. A failed coaches challenge shifted the momentum of the series in the third game.

Offseason Breakdown: Edmonton Oilers By: Chris Nosek As he began the job last season, Stan Bowman stated they were still confident in their goaltending. Now, fans are frustrated after another year of coming up short in the Stanley Cup Finals. They did nothing this offseason to change their goaltenders, which will further upset the fanbase. There is now additional scrutiny on Bowman as Connor McDavid doesn't have a contract for next season yet.

Offseason Breakdown: Detroit Red Wings By: Chris Nosek The Red Wings had another season where they ended just outside the playoff picture. They finished the season on a 6-2-2 run. They also finished 22nd in goals scored and 21st in goals against. Many fans are starting to question Steve Yzerman. He continues to try to bring the organization back to being a perennial contender. He has taken a long-term approach as he has been building through the draft.

Offseason Breakdown: Dallas Stars By: Chris Nosek Everyone remembers how last season ended. The surprise pulling of goaltender Jake Oettinger by now former Head Coach Pete DeBoer. DeBoer made a really tough call in a key situation and it turned out to be the correct one. Oettinger was not on his game that night. Changing goaltenders woke up the rest of the team. Despite losing, it was the correct call to make.

Offseason Breakdown: Columbus Blue Jackets By: Chris Nosek Last season the Blue Jackets were able to honor Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau in all the right ways. Biggest Departure: Sean Kuraly, left in free agency The Blue Jackets didn't lose too many players over the summer. However, of the ones they did lose, Sean Kuraly produced the fewest points.

Offseason Breakdown: Colorado Avalanche Chris MacFarland, the active GM of the Colorado Avalanche, traded star Mikko Rantanen to Carolina, a decision he likely regrets. Acquiring MacKenzie Blackwood improved the team's goaltending significantly. Meanwhile, the return of Gabriel Landeskog is crucial for filling Rantanen's absence. Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon are vital for the Avalanche's success.

Offseason Breakdown: Chicago Blackhawks By: Chris Nosek Last season was the second year of the "Connor Bedard era." Many were expecting a big step forward for the team. To help the youngsters take that step, the organization brought in some NHL veterans who possessed leadership, skill, and physicality. Three of the keys players they brought in, Taylor Hall, Alec Martinez, and Pat Maroon. All three of them had injury-plagued seasons and missed long stretches of the season.

Honoring Johnny Hockey By: Chris Nosek One year ago yesterday, the hockey-world lost Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. Take some time to remember the lives of those we lost in just a tragic way. Through his game, we knew him as Johnny Hockey - but both brought joy and happiness everywhere they went. Johnny was a leader in so many ways and one of the leagues most exciting players to watch. May they rest in piece, and may we all remember and honor their legacy by bringing joy and happiness anywhere we can.

Off Season Breakdown: Carolina Hurricanes By: Chris Nosek The Carolina Hurricanes have been making the playoffs so much they look like a great success, however they haven't been able to make a Stanley Cup Final let alone take home a title. Last season they finished second in the Metropolitan Division behind the Washington Capitals.

His great play provided the backbone as other young players like Matthew Coronato, Kevin Bahl, and Connor Zary stepped into critical roles for the team.

Dealing DiPietro vs Keeping Korpisalo On June 11, 2025, former NHL goaltender, now hockey analyst and insider Kevin Weeks tweeted that multiple teams have expressed interest in goaltender Michael DiPietro. This tweet has sent Boston Bruins fans into a rage about how the team can't afford to lose the 26-year-old netminder and that current backup goaltender Joonas Korpisalo and his $3 million AAV against the NHL salary cap should be traded.
