8. Predators
The Predators had a big offseason, and they are entering next season looking significantly better on paper. They brought in three top free agents in Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei. They also locked up Juuse Saros long-term and have young players who possess the potential to hit new levels. Thus, they should be among the NHL’s top teams this year.
10. Devils
The 2023-24 season was a disaster for the Devils. The main reason for their struggles last season was their poor goaltending, but they fixed that in a big way by acquiring star Jacob Markstrom from the Flames. Now, after upgrading between the pipes, the Devils are entering next season looking like a real threat again. If they miss the playoffs again, it would be a massive disappointment.
15. Kings
The Kings are entering next season as a club that should compete again for a playoff spot. They have a solid forward group and defense, but they have some questions about their goaltending. They brought in a former Stanley Cup champion in Darcy Kuemper, but he is also coming off a career-worst season. If Kuemper bounces back, the Kings could be a real threat.
31. Ducks
The Ducks are once again expected to be among the worst teams in the NHL this season. It is understandable, as they are still very much rebuilding and had a quiet offseason. While this is the case, they have the potential to be more competitive. They have an array of young players like Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier, Mason McTavish, Pavel Mintyukov, and Olen Zellweger, who can take big steps forward. Thus, they should be a fun club to watch in 2024-25.
