So, if I got this right, here's every HC change since the season ended:

New York Islanders: Barry Trotz → Lane Lambert

Vegas Golden Knights: Pete DeBoer → Bruce Cassidy

Philadelphia Flyers: Mike Yeo → John Torterella

Dallas Stars: Rick Bowness → Pete DeBoer

Florida Panthers: Andrew Brunette → Paul Maurice

Chicago Blackhawks: Derek King → Luke Richardson

Detroit Red Wings: Jeff Blashill → Derek Lalonde

Boston Bruins: Bruce Cassidy → Jim Montgomery

Winnipeg Jets: Dave Lowry → Rick Bowness

That leaves just the Sharks without a HC. I'd guess Brunette.

Having it front loaded was smart but surprised with the NTC, not a fan of that.

Yeah, me neither, but it's only a full NTC for the first 4 years, after that it's limited JIC things go sour

No doubt, having it go to 16 teams will help just surprised Paul had this type of leverage. That’s a hell of an contract to give a guy who has never had more than 11 goals. He does so much more, no question about that, but could not agree more with @SevenLeg said, if you are a quality depth guy, pray to Jebus TBL wants you at the TDL

Winners:
Islanders (Firing Trotz is an automatic win)
Red Wings (Lalonde is an excellent fit)
Bruins (Montgomery is exactly what Cassidy is apparently not, a players-first guy)
Blackhawks (I don't think they're going anywhere for a while, but I like Richardson, Kyle Davidson's done well since taking over as GM)
Stars (DeBoer was a bit of a scapegoat in Vegas, it wasn't entirely his fault, and I'd prefer him to Bowness regardless)

Mid:
VGK (I don't know, there are reports indicating that Cassidy had a bit of a fractured relationship with some Bruins, curious to see how this works out)
FLA (Brunette did really well, I don't know if Maurice is a significant improvement)

Losers:
PHI (Torts for 4 years? Really?)
WPG (Bowness? Really?)

I think Mateychuk is the next Devon Toews. Korchinski is more dynamic. My preference if they choose to go D is Mateychuk but I wouldn’t mind Korchinski

If Korchinski works with a coach who helps him on D, (he already has the size and the offence), he could be a stud. A top pairing 2 way D for sure

Yeah I agree. He has a high ceiling. I personally think Mateychuk should be in the same tier as Nemec/Jiricek.

Hot takes for next year:

1. Blake Comeau signs a PTO with the Jets, first practice, Scheifele nails him like he did to Evans and Comeau's career ends there. After that Cheveldayoff hires Bowness as the new head coach, bringing him to end his coaching career where he started it. Soon after, he hires Comeau as his assistant coach/right hand man. They immediately start bullying Scheifele by not playing him much minutes (EV and PP), he requests for a trade not long after and is traded to some random team like Columbus joining his buddy Laine. After that they finish dead last and get to pick Bedard which he replaces Scheifele, Bones retires and Comeau takes over as head coach, soon after Bedard quits the team and signs with some random team like the Jackets and joins his former Jets buddies.

2. Cole Caufield wins a fight.

3. Johnston finishes 5th in Stars scoring and is in the top 3 for the Calder.

4. William Nylander has more PIM than Milan Lucic.

5. Kaprizov wins the Rocket Richard and is a nominee for the Hart.

6. Gurianov busts out and scores 30 goals, and finishes 6th in Stars scoring.

7. Without Bowness, Miro explodes in production and gets nominated for the Norris, but loses it by 1 vote to Makar.

8. Some grit grinder like Boucher is picked in the top 15 by a team that's considered good at drafting.

9. The Stars make the playoffs by the slimmest of margins with a them having 1 more GF them the team next to them, that goal was scored by none other than Jake Oettinger.

10. Arizona finally relocates to Houston.

11. The Flyers sign Chara to replace Yandle.

12. Yzerman doesn't laugh in your GM's face laugh laugh laugh.

13. Guerin trades Fiala to the Kraken for some odd reason, and fleeces them by getting their pick this year plus other small assets.

14. The Wild fan with 1 million accounts will become like another famous CF user and start using this: laugh. Guerin laughs in your face laugh, will be the new Wild slogan.

15. Mike Smith pulls the lacrosse move on Zegras.
