Ondrej Palat wasn’t great last season, and he’s still currently on the roster as we close in on training camp in a few weeks. How bad was he? [Devils’ Advocates]

“The New Jersey Devils were the definition of mixed bag last season. They looked unbeatable for most of the first half and played closer to a lottery team in the second half, ranking 26th in points percentage from January 1st onward. While the season as a whole was fine, it’s clear the Devils need to be better moving forward. Let’s take a closer look at a few reasons to be optimistic they will be.” [Infernal Access ($)]

A look at the preseason schedule, which starts next month: “The National Hockey League 2025-26 preseason schedule, a 15-day, 104-game slate played across 40 NHL and neutral-site venues, begins Saturday, Sept. 20 and runs through Saturday, Oct. 4.” [NHL.com]

Which teams have improved the most this offseason? [Daily Faceoff]

Assessing the winger talent for each team in the league: [TSN]

“In essence, each of our drafters has been told to pretend that they woke up today as the NHL’s new commissioner, with almost unlimited power to make five specific changes. We’re doing a five-round draft, snake-style. And at the end, you can vote on whose group of five ideas you like best.” [The Athletic ($)]

Tryouts:

Milan Lucic will attend Blues' training camp on a professional tryout, per GM Doug Armstrong.
