The Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup final, repeating the result from the previous year.However, the league doesn&#8217;t stop. With trades and free agent signings, the teams we&#8217;ll see in training camps will be very different from those of last season.\nThe Vegas Golden Knights made the biggest addition of the offseason, while the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks continued their ascent. The Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers, and Toronto Maple Leafs face reconstruction tasks of varying urgency, and the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens become more interesting. Even the two-time champion Panthers had to restructure their roster.\nTo analyze the movements, the methodology from last season will be used, tracking the impact of each team using the &#8220;established performance level&#8221; of each player, a weighted average of three years of their Goals Above Replacement (GAR). This method smooths out irregular seasons and offers a better forecast of future impact.\nThis summer, there were fewer high-impact names in motion than the previous one. We analyzed the teams that gained and lost value.\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teams that added the most value<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>San Jose Sharks<\/li><\/ul>\n\nThe Sharks, although still the worst team in the league, are on the path to a gradual rebuild. With a series of veteran acquisitions, including Dmitry Orlov, Adam Gaudette, and Nick Leddy, they seek to improve their young roster.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0415%2Fr1479292_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Dmitry Orlov\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\nOrlov, with consistent performance, and Klingberg, with the potential to revive his game, are key to the team. The goal is to build without sacrificing the future of Macklin Celebrini.\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Anaheim Ducks<\/li><\/ul>\n\nThe Ducks, despite losing John Gibson, who left a void in the goal, have added value with the arrival of Chris Kreider and Mikael Granlund. The bet is to improve the attack and support young talents like Jackson LaCombe, Mason McTavish, Cutter Gauthier, and Leo Carlsson.\nThe arrival of coach Joel Quenneville, embroiled in controversy, adds an interesting element, but the team will have more talent available.\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Seattle Kraken<\/li><\/ul>\n\nThe Kraken, after a step back in defense, have improved with Mason Marchment, a forward with good offensive and defensive performance. The incorporation of Matt Murray also gives options in goal.\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Montreal Canadiens<\/li><\/ul>\n\nThe Canadiens, already showing improvement, were reinforced with Noah Dobson, one of the most outstanding young defensemen. The arrival of Zack Bolduc is also promising. The losses have been manageable and the team&#8217;s future looks promising.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0627%2Fr1511971_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Noah Dobson\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vegas Golden Knights<\/li><\/ul>\n\nThe Knights acquired Mitch Marner, the biggest acquisition of the summer. Although the cost was high, the team was already strong and is now focused on another run for the Cup, led by Jack Eichel.\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Nashville Predators<\/li><\/ul>\n\nThe Predators return to the list of profitable teams, with acquisitions like Nick Perbix and Nicolas Hague, who reinforce the defense. Success will depend on the improvement in the performance of some stars.\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teams that lost the most value<\/h2>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dallas Stars<\/li><\/ol>\n\nThe Stars suffered a significant loss of talent, with the departure of key players. Although the core of the team remains, the changes could affect their performance.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2024%2F1029%2Fr1407580_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Mason Marchment\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li>Edmonton Oilers<\/li><\/ol>\n\nThe Oilers, who lost the final, got rid of several players. Although they added Andrew Mangiapane, the team did not make significant changes in the goal, which could be key.\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\"><li>Toronto Maple Leafs<\/li><\/ol>\n\nMitch Marner&#8217;s departure is the main loss, despite the arrival of Nicolas Roy. Although the team still has talent, Marner&#8217;s absence has an impact.\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\"><li>New York Rangers<\/li><\/ol>\n\nThe Rangers added talent, but also lost important players like Chris Kreider and K&#8217;Andre Miller. Vladislav Gavrikov is a key addition on defense, but success will depend on improved internal performance.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0701%2Fr1513643_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Vladislav Gavrikov\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\"><li>Winnipeg Jets<\/li><\/ol>\n\nThe Jets lost value, although they added Gustav Nyquist. The departure of key players impacts the team.\nThe NHL&#8217;s offseason has brought significant changes, with teams reinforcing and others restructuring. The impact of these decisions will be seen in the upcoming season.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the NHL, although the teams change, some things remain the same.
