The offseason carousel kept spinning as Washington made a major push by acquiring Jordan Kyrou and Alex Tuch, with Tuch’s new $10.5 million AAV adding another layer to the Capitals’ aggressive retool. Chicago also jumped into the action by landing Bowen Byram and Jordan Greenway, raising the question of whether Connor Bedard is finally getting the support he needs. In Buffalo, Jarmo Kekäläinen takes over with the Sabres still searching for stability in goal, while Ottawa’s addition of William Eklund brings intrigue around where he fits and what Senators fans can expect. Calgary made a bold move of its own by acquiring Simon Nemec and Maxim Tsyplakov from New Jersey, adding more youth and upside to the Flames’ picture. In Edmonton, the Oilers introduced Mike Babcock and DJ Smith, with Ryan Rishaug speaking to Connor McDavid about what the new coaching setup could mean for a team still chasing the final step. Plus, the guys look at whether the Lightning, Penguins, Ducks, Stars, Blue Jackets and Mammoth have more moves coming, and whether Dallas will ultimately move Jason Robertson.
