Unveiling the Surprising NHL Offseason Makeovers: Which Teams Are Poised to Shock the League?

Newcomer Justin Sourdif is the wild card here, considering his lack of NHL experience (four games) and Washington’s high acquisition cost. I don’t currently have a projection for him, but it doesn’t feel likely he will move the needle a considerable degree here.
20. St. Louis Blues
Net Rating added: -1
In: Pius Suter, Nick Bjugstad, Logan Mailloux
Out: Zack Bolduc, Radek Faksa, Nick Leddy, Ryan Suter
St. Louis’ placement here is not a product of what seems like a decent summer, but rather the lack of a projection for Logan Mailloux. The young defender played just seven chaotic games for Montreal last year and it wouldn’t be fair to judge what he can do based on that data. In theory, he’s the exact kind of defender the Blues need: one who can bring a lot of offense from the blue line.
