The 2023-24 NHL season arrives with a handful of new teams ready to take the leap to contending status. There are also plenty of others trying to hang on to playoff spots.
“There’s some real up-and-coming teams, ” former player-turned-NHL Network analyst Mike Rupp said. “Is there a changing of the guard right now?"
When all that's done by mid-April, 16 teams will be left standing to compete for the Stanley Cup. Will Connor McDavid and the high-scoring Edmonton Oilers finally win the championship? Whyno: Winnipeg coach Rick Bowness could be on a short leash after an offseason of change with the Jets and expectations to again make the playoffs. Long term, Columbus president of hockey operations John Davidson and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen could be in trouble after the botched hiring of Babcock if the Blue Jackets don't jump into the top eight in the East.Lage: McDavid will win for the fourth time, trailing the totals of just Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe in NHL history.
Whyno: Ilya Sorokin will solve a lot of problems for the Islanders and win the Vezina for the first time.Lage: Colorado’s Cale Makar bounces back from an injury-shortened season to win for the second time in three years. Wawrow: I know. I know. Bedard is the favorite. Talented as he is, it’s difficult for a true rookie on a rebuilding team to shine. Luke Hughes has a better chance to shine on a better team in New Jersey.
