1. Oilers
The Oilers are entering next season as the best team on paper. After being just one win away from the Stanley Cup, they will enter next season with immense motivation. They also have a very similar roster to last season and brought in Viktor Arvidsson and Jeff Skinner.Â
2. PanthersÂ
The Panthers will once again be one of the best teams in the NHL next season after winning the Stanley Cup. However, they have dropped one spot this week, as they notably lost star defenseman Brandon Montour through free agency. Furthermore, players like Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Vladimir Tarasenko, Ryan Lomberg, and Anthony Stolarz all won’t be back as well.
9. PredatorsÂ
The Predators greatly improved their roster in free agency, adding Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei. After taking a big step forward last season, they now look like potential contenders in the Western Conference after their outstanding offseason.
29. Blackhawks
The Blackhawks still have more work to do during their rebuild, but they have improved their roster for next season. On the first day of free agency, they strengthened their roster, signing Tyler Bertuzzi, Teuvo Teravainen, Pat Maroon, TJ Brodie, Alec Martinez, Laurent Brossoit, and Craig Smith. They will be a fun team to watch this season and could surprise some fans.Â
