The Seattle Kraken were one of the worst teams in the National Hockey League in 2021-22, which made complete sense considering it was the club’s first season as an NHL franchise.

The Washington Capitals missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season. And that’s a hard pill for a team like Washington to swallow. Especially considering how many years it had been since they missed the playoffs. Besides, any team with a legendary scorer like Alex Ovechkin is going to feel immensely disappointed when results don’t fall […]

The Nashville Predators made changes during the offseason to try and improve the team. Nashville’s biggest changes had to do more with their decision-makers than the roster itself.
