Now that the first wave of free agency has mostly passed with only two marquee free agents remaining unsigned (Nazem Kadri and John Klingberg), we are into the doldrums of the offseason. With most major changes out of the way, let’s take a look at the other teams in the Metro Division, what they gained and lost this summer, and where Columbus might stack up as we head into next season.
Additions: Brent Burns, Ondrej Kase, Max Pacioretty, Dylan Coghlan, MacKenzie MacEachern, William Lagesson
Re-signings: Ryan Dzingel
Subtractions: Tony DeAngelo, Steven Lorentz, Ian Cole, Vincent Trocheck, Max Domi
The Carolina Hurricanes unquestionably improved the most this off-season.
