Evgeni Malkin has been synonymous with the Pittsburgh Penguins over the past two decades, but now the veteran forward is seemingly on his way out in a hurry. For the past 20 years, Evgeni Malkin has played a key role with the Penguins, helping them to three Stanley Cup's alongside Sidney Crosby, but it may all be ending soon. According to Mark Madden, a Penguins reporter, Malkin, despite having two years left on his current deal is set to depart the NHL after this season in similar fashion to Evgeny Kuznetsov, ultimately departing for the KHL.

A recent report by The Athletic listed New York Islanders general manager (GM) Lou Lamoriello as the least-trusted executive in the NHL (from ‘NHL front-office confidence rankings, 2024: How fans feel about every team,’ The Athletic, Aug. 6th, 2024). While the 81-year-old has had an up-and-down tenure on Long Island, this seems like a pretty egregious ranking, especially considering the Islanders’ success.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a number of moves in this offseason, and currently, according to PuckPedia, they have just over $1M in cap space. Typically, contending teams use as much cap space as possible, all the way to the ceiling. Toronto is exactly that and falls under the ‘contender’ title. Here are a few different ways for the Maple Leafs to spend the rest of their cap.

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.

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 rebuild rankings following the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline were tough to evaluate. There was a lot of movement and a handful of fringe teams that made it difficult to put them on the list to begin with. The Vancouver Canucks graduated from the rankings as a team that was in contention for the Stanley Cup. The Ottawa Senators made their return. The Philadelphia Flyers weren’t on the list as they looked competitive at the deadline (that was fool’s gold) and by the end of the season, it was clear they were a rebuilder.

Anyone in the position the Edmonton Oilers were last season knows what the sting of losing the Stanley Cup feels like. Not every team can take their opponent to Game 7 and fall just a couple of goals short, but the Oilers did and their reaction to losing out has gone viral on the Internet.
