The 2024-25 NHL season began this past weekend with a couple of games in Prague, but league play begins in earnest in the coming days.It should be a fascinating season. International hockey is coming back. The Edmonton Oilers looked like clear Stanley Cup favorites in early July, but an ultra-rare double-dose of offer sheets from the St. Louis Blues stripped away some of their depth.Connor McDavid isn’t the reigning MVP. Cale Makar isn’t the reigning Norris Trophy winner. It feels pretty open at the top of the league. So considering the uncertainty, what better time to make some predictions that…
