Still, a handful of young defensemen could ultimately provide Chicago's backbone on the blue line, namely collegiate standout Ian Mitchell and 6'4", 208-pound behemoth Alec Regula. If there is any pressure on center Dylan Strome to live up to the expectations of a third overall pick, you wouldn't have noticed it while watching him dominate the AHL last year.

What roles they are given, even if limited in scope and scale, will be monitored closely, especially if the team hits a funk.

Last season centers Janne Kuokkanen, Nicolas Roy (traded to Vegas) and Morgan Geekieand big winger Julien Gauthier,joined Necas, Beanand Saarela as seven of Charlottes top-10 scorers all drafted from 2015 onward.

No team has stockpiled prospects in as great a number as the Kings. Traded/not signed: Jocktan Chainey (LHD), Jeremy Davies (LHD, NSH), John Quenneville (C, CHI). Goalie Alex Nedeljkovic was the AHLs top goalie in leading the Checkers to the Calder Cup and the play of power-play quarterback Jake Bean (44 points in 70 games) along with the drafting of right-shot playmaker Anttoni Honka soften the blow from trading Adam Fox to the Rangers.

Key additions: Simon Holmstrom (RW), Mason Jobst (C/W) But there are reinforcements on the way in forwardsLiam Foudy and Kirill Marchenko, both of whom have top-six talent and blend skating with high-level skill sets.

Losing a Stanley Cup Final hurts, but the Stars and their supporters can smile knowing they hit a home run in defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who was among the league leaders in playoff scoring. Additionally, there is a significant amount of speed up front, beginning with Jesper Boqvist, 2016 first rounder Mike McLeodand AHL-proven winger Brandon Gignac, who was one of the top scorers on a thin Binghamton squad.
