Scott Cullen breaks down the trade sending Jack Eichel to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs and a couple of picks. Eichel and Tuch might be the impact players at the moment but both are still out of the lineup for the foreseeable future so Peyton Krebs might have a chance to have an instant impact with the Sabres.

Scott Cullen digs into the Boston Bruins, a team that has been a contender for the better part of the past decade. They might still have it in them and the question will be whether they have enough supporting talent to go with their top-tier players. The Bruins starting with one of the best lines in hockey and one of the best defensemen in hockey are ahead of the game in that respect but need the complementary pieces to push them over the top.

Scott Cullen takes a look at the Buffalo Sabres and it does not look good for the 2021-2022 season. No, really! The best hope might be to develop a few young players that have a chance to be part of the long-term core but there are a lot of opportunities for players to audition for their long-term NHL future.

Scott Cullen checks in with the Carolina Hurricanes, a strong team that made some bold choices in the offseason that caused them to lose a star defenseman and overhaul their goaltending, to say nothing of signing a restricted free agent to a successful offer sheet.

Scott Cullen looks at a Calgary Flames team that is looking for improvement in 2021-2022 and head coach Darryl Sutter will have an opportunity to imprint his style on this team. Do they have enough skill in the lineup? Can the Flames grind teams to dust in the manner of Sutter's L.A. Kings teams? What is the future of Johnny Hockey in Calgary?

Scott Cullen looks into the Detroit Red Wings, a team that has some reasons to be hopeful for the future, if not necessarily the present. Prospects like Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, and Jonatan Berggren have long-term value but it remains to be seen whether they can have an immediate impact on a roster that does not have enough skill, particularly in the aftermath of Jakub Vrana's shoulder injury.

The Edmonton Oilers have two of the premier players in the league. Is that enough? Probably not, so the fate of the team will depend on the supporting cast, which has been improved by offseason additions of Zach Hyman, Warren Foegele, and Derek Ryan. The Oilers have added Duncan Keith and Cody Ceci on the blueline and, well, you can see how that might pose some problems.

Scott Cullen examines the Florida Panthers, a team that is coming off a strong season and comes into the new season facing expectations. They added Sam Reinhart from Buffalo and have prospects knocking on the door, including goaltender Spencer Knight, center Anton Lundell, and winger Grigori Denisenko. Plus, they brought in Jumbo Joe Thornton so the Panthers look to be a very interesting squad heading into the 2021-2022 season.

Scott Cullen looks at a Minnesota Wild team that has a lot of solid, above-average NHL players but they likely need more at the top end of the roster if they are going to take that next step.

Scott Cullen breaks down a Flyers roster that has plenty of talent, with lots of new faces coming on the blueline, and huge question marks in goal considering how last season ended for Carter Hart.

Scott Cullen examines a Penguins team that still has star talent but that star talent is aging - Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang are in their mid-30s - and it's not difficult to see the end of the line for the Penguins core. Even so, they are likely a playoff team this season and that would bring an opportunity for goaltender Tristan Jarry to bounce back after a tough postseason in 2021.

Scott Cullen checks in on the San Jose Sharks, a team with a lot of questions heading into the 2021-2022 season. There is a chance that they could be competitive in the Pacific Division but it may not be the most likely outcome for a team whose leading scorer from last season is mired in controversy and the players signed to big ticket contracts are not making a big enough difference.

Scott Cullen looks at the newest franchise in the NHL and tries to determine where they might fit in the Pacific Division standings in the 2021-2022 season.

Scott Cullen checks in on the St. Louis Blues, a team with a lot of questions to answer, not least of all what does the future hold for Vladimir Tarasenko? If the Blues can answer their questions, then they are probably a playoff team but, if a few of those answers go the wrong way, then they might be struggling to get into the postseason.

Scott Cullen breaks down the roster of the back-to-back Stanley Cup champs and finds a team that might have some holes to fill but probably has a decent shot at contending for a third straight title. They have elite talent leading the way, from Nikita Kucherov to Brayden Point to Steven Stamkos to Victor Hedman to Andrei Vasilevskiy - it's no accident that the Lightning are this good!

Scott Cullen examines the fallout of the Montreal Canadiens declining to match the Carolina Hurricanes' offer sheet to Jesperi Kotkaniemi, including their subsequent trade for Christian Dvorak and where that leaves the Arizona Coyotes, the fallback shopping option for NHL teams this offseason.

Scott Cullen breaks down Jesperi Kotkaniemi's career so far, what it would mean for Carolina if Montreal does not match and what goes into the decision from Montreal's perspective. There is some spite involved, it appears, but is also looks like the Hurricanes have a genuine interest in a promising young center who has not yet had his breakout season.

Scott Cullen checks in on the Vegas Golden Knights, a perennial contender that figures to be in the mix again next season. They traded away Vezina-winning goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury but are still solid between the pipes, they have a strong group on the blueline, and the core forwards are productive. The most notable variables may be related to how much they can get from prospects on the way up or what they get from Alex Tuch when he returns from off-season surgery.

Scott Cullen breaks down the roster of the Washington Capitals, a contending team that brings back a lot of the same crew. If the Capitals are going to really get into the mix among Cup contenders, they could use some production from emerging young players, whether it's in goal, from top prospects who might have a chance to secure regular playing time, or even a bounce-back season from Evgeny Kuznetsov. In any case, the Capitals have lots of experienced talent and should be competitive again in the 2021-2022 season.

Scott Cullen starts off the summer series by looking at a Jets team that has upgraded on the blueline, in the hopes that it will be enough to contend in a challenging Central Division.

Scott Cullen breaks down each of the picks in the Seattle Kraken expansion draft. There were some iffy selections, to be sure! Nevertheless, they have a bunch of cap space and if they can add some legitimate NHL talent via free agency, the Kraken could potentially be a playoff team next season. Also, Alex Nedeljkovic gets traded to Detroit, Shayne Gostisbehere to Philadelphia, and Tyler Pitlick to Calgary, plus the Rangers get Barclay Goodrow signed to a huge deal, for better or worse.
