Unveiling the Surprising NHL Offseason Makeovers: Which Teams Are Poised to Shock the League?
Utah’s top six is stronger now and some internal growth should still put the Mammoth in the thick of the playoff race. But this team isn’t as deep as it was at the start of the summer.

29. Edmonton Oilers
Net Rating added: -8
In: Andrew Mangiapane, Ike Howard, Curtis Lazar
Out: Evander Kane, Viktor Arvidsson, Connor Brown, Corey Perry, John Klingberg
For the Oilers, everything hinges on their two rookies. They need one or both of Ike Howard and Matthew Savoie to be good from the jump.
That’s because a lot of their forward depth has been turned over this summer. Gone are Evander Kane, Viktor Arvidsson, Connor Brown and Corey Perry — all of whom looked like serviceable middle-six talents. In their place is only Andrew Mangiapane, who could have some upside in a bigger role, but is coming off a down year with the Capitals.
