The Nashville Predators were nothing short of an abject disappointment throughout the 2024-25 NHL season. They entered the campaign with bonafide Stanley Cup expectations thanks to the additions of Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei, and they also re-signed goaltender Juuse Saros to an eight-year contract extension.

The Ottawa Senators returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2017. The Senators would fall to the Toronto Maple Leafs in six games. Regardless, this was a major step forward for Ottawa.

The Atlanta Hawks have a roster hovering between playoff contention and full-scale rebuild. As such, the 2025 NBA Draft presents an opportunity to solidify their direction.
