With every offseason comes inevitable change for each and every team in the National Hockey League. That change is simply a part of the game.
While changes can come in a wide variety of fashions (trades, hirings and firings, call-ups, etc.), but the typical avenue is through free agency. Each year, teams have to make decisions on who to re-sign, who to let go, and who to bring in from the market.
It’s never an easy task, but the goal is to somehow upgrade the team and take it a step further than the year before.
