Best Calgary Flames By Jersey Number: #31 – 40

Columbus, OH

When it comes to the sport of hockey, the month of August usually leaves fans looking for something to talk about. Now that the splendor of the NHL Draft and Free Agency have passed, many fans like to think about how the lines will look come opening night. While that is always a fun exercise to think about, it almost never works out the way one imagines.

Blue Jackets’ Lines Will See Trial & Error in 2024-25

This afternoon there is growing concern that a former first-round pick might have to abandon playing hockey in North America due to a lack of interest. The NHL offseason is the beginning of a career for many young stars in the NHL. It can also be the end of the journey for a player who once was looked at as a promising young talent. This summer that could be the case for former Edmonton Oilers top prospect Kailer Yamamoto.

The New York Rangers are in a crucial "Cup or bust" season and need to address roster gaps by utilizing their top prospects, Brennan Othmann and Brett Berard. Each player brings distinct skills that could significantly impact the team’s performance this year. Ensuring they both receive NHL ice time during training camp and preseason is vital, as it allows them to showcase their potential. Berard's proven ability in even-strength situations and penalty kills complements Othmann's offensive prowess, making them valuable assets. As the Rangers finalize their roster for 2024-25, their ability to incorporate these players could determine their success.

With every passing season, the Montreal Canadiens get in better salary-cap shape. Since general manager Kent Hughes’ debut, that’s been generally true as he attempts to build the team based on his offensive-minded vision for the team. It’s an assumption, but a pretty safe one that vision doesn’t exactly include being pressed up to the ceiling as a direct result of bad contract after bad contract.

Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras has had his name has been involved in trade rumors, and the Montreal Canadiens have been one team mentioned as a possible destination. Zegras is entering the second year of his three-year $17.25 million deal. Although he is a former first-round pick and just 23, he has been the subject of trade rumors. The website PuckPedia has a new tool called PuckGM that lets users create their own trades, and one user proposed a deal that would see the Canadiens acquire Zegras.

Over the last two seasons, the Boston Bruins had the best goaltending tandem in the NHL. Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman backboned the Black and Gold to a historic 2022-23 season where they set records for wins (65) and points (135). Then this past season, they led the Bruins to a second-place finish in the Atlantic Division, finishing one point behind the Florida Panthers.

For the last 21 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy hockey standpoint and graded them. The 22nd annual review will appear here on Dobber Hockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings but in the realm of fantasy hockey both for the season ahead as well as the foreseeable future. Offensively, will the team perform? Are there plenty of depth options worthy of owning in keeper leagues? What about over the next two or three years? These questions are considered when looking at the depth chart and the player potential on that depth chart.

The 2024 offseason definitely looks like a busy one. Plenty of moves to talk about, and we also notice some shifts in the NHL power rankings. Check them out below. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, as the Panthers remain the No. 1 ranked team in the month of August too. People might say they almost lost to the Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final, but that doesn’t mean anything. There’s no reason why the current champion shouldn’t be the top team during the offseason. Sam Reinhart will play for Florida in 2025, which was a huge signing. Dmitry Kulikov will also stay, thus making sure this defense won’t undergo big changes.

The future of the NHL has never looked brighter due to the increase in talent across the league. While generational talents Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane, and Alexander Ovechkin can be attributed to the league’s success at the turn of the century, the future lies on the backs of Connor McDavid, Connor Bedard, and others. The Connors were arguably the two greatest prospects to ever be selected in the NHL Draft, and while they have an eight-year age gap, comparing their rookie seasons can better contextualize who will have the better future.
