There's statistical evidence that NHL goal scorers peak around 26, if not a little earlier, the sweet spot range is like 24-26 years old. Driasaitl is 27 now, McDavid turned 26 this year. Kane is nearing the end of his prime at 31 and is a variable depending on how sideways he gets with his bookie any given year, Nugent-Hopkins is 30 and won't be a contract albatross for a few years at least you figure. Ekholm is leaving his prime at 33 and they could use defensive help on the top pair and figuring out if they have the answer in goal under contract now or need to package upgrade there by trade to get over the top, but, they're ready to compete now and for the next couple of years with that core. Vegas played the, "stash our captain on long term injured reserve to hide his cap hit off the total until it was time to become uncompliant with it for the playoff run," game this year with Mark Stone and it worked out smashingly for them, I wouldn't suggest it for Edmonton and McDavid or Draisaitl but you can attempt to do something like that with the north of 30 core pieces and their 5 to 6 million a year in cap space, so yeah, probably the Oilers are closest to putting it all together out there. Their draft picks are mostly missing this draft, no pick in round 1, 3, 4 or 5, so no help is coming there soon you figure which means for them to improve, they've got to do it via a more risky manner than the traditional draft build in the short term.
Literally the one notable thing hockey, of all the major pro leagues, did first in the US that no one else could grow the balls to do before them; open up Las Vegas for pro sports. Either Bettman is actually part of the mafia and has way more sway with the wise guys than we perceive, or he's really fucking good at blind eyes when needed for fixing of results, as evidenced by the fact that the NBA is the last major pro sport league to try and stake out a franchise in the city since you know, they actually have found crooked refs officiating games to hit their over on the night to lock up their wagers as winners.

DW the panthers have more wins in the cup finals than the Leafs do in the last 50 years. Vegas was a different machine all together

Just the fact that the Vegas Golden Knights and Denver Nuggets won their respective championship titles in their sports is just proof that people still love cities that dint always get recognized for their sports teams, when compared to NYC, California or Chicago/Philadelphia.
We need more of this to happen.

Saw someone crying they bid on, and won, a proceed to charity pride warm up jersey because they only bought it to support the effort it advertised, uh, you have a collector item now, due to discontinued, your purchase actually got more valuable and the money still supported what you intended, how is this a loss in any manner for you? This is what stupid woke is.
Hall of Fame inductions were announced when I couldn't get the reply box to load on tor so let's see who got off the snide delayed entry treadmill this time around;
one of the best on an overdue recognition. Heavy year on goalies with at least one media hype train self congratulations induction for the second year in a row, they really can't help themselves these days.
Goalie #1, Tom Barrasso, who after a long wait to be named a hall of famer is in, despite his career longevity and team success in the post season at his best meaning I have no qualms about him being in any given year of inductions including this one probably deserved induction the most from the position potential selections.
Goalie #2, Mike Vernon, who much like Barrasso's reason for why I have no problem with him being inducted either, also has the distinction of being on the end of the buzzsaw that was the '95 Devils cup champions postseason run is another worthy induction. Vernon was more athletic in the net overall compared to his contemporary in Barrasso and they both played their prime years in a highly offensive based league era but you couldn't go wrong with either of them tending net in the late 80s or early 90s outside of guys who are already included who were just slightly better than these two new inductees.
Ken Hitchcock as a coach probably embodies the most successful coach of the clutch and grab era into the post 2006 return from lockout ref emphasis on open skating again, so if you have to nod to his longevity, the fact he coached 1/6th of the league franchises once they opened up the neutral zone, his one cup can't totally be ignored despite it preceding the opening of the neutral zone and him coaching a roster with several hall of fame inducted players in their peak years or at least with still some gas in the tank to claim it.
Post-humous induction of Pierre Lecroix is probably needlessly done after his demise because the voting comittee is in no rush to get things right with these. He really did amazing work in trade deadline acquisitions of Hall of Fame level supporting pieces for the Avalanche's first two cup winners, Roy from Montreal after the move from Quebec City is an all time larceny at the trade deadline deal, Rob Blake in 2001 being kept away from the defending champion Devils that year probably swung the outcome of a seven game Cup final that year and got Borque's shell over the championship summit, so it's deserved.
I'm not qualified, having watched no hours total of women's hockey in my life, to opine if Caroline Ouellette is worthy of an induction or not so we can just move on to the last member of the 2023 class in goalie #3; Henrik Lundqvist. Just like last year the media can't wait to induct an overhyped goalie they couldn't stop promoting as the best in the game, as long as you never need to win an elimination game in the playoffs at least of course, but who cares about that anyway, right sports fans? Does anybody even talk about the 2006 Olympic hockey single elimination tournament round regularly anymore? Did anyone actually care back then either? A single Vezina, barely over .500 as a winning goalie for his career and not even a top five career wins total, the most iconic thing about him is how he quit due to a heart issue instead of play a game in another uniform after he signed a free agent contract to exit to Washington. If Barrasso and Vernon were snubbed for this guy after Luongo jumped ahead in line of those goalies last year, there would have been major questions about the voting block's recency bias, but this is still the hall of very good, never great, induction for the year since New York can't get over itself no matter how many times it loses to noted ice hockey power state Florida in the finals. Mogilny, Elias, Gonchar, and Vincent Lecavalier are all more worthy inductees left over from the last ballot and I'd even add in players like Rod Brind'Amour and Keith Tkachuck easily being more worthy of a hall of fame induction than this goalie who could never win a money series for you. Henrik Zetterberg is even the more worthy Henrik to induct.

They should move to Houston and be renamed the Houston Aeros, given their stadium predicament & Houston’s already available ice hockey rink at Toyota Center (next to the Rockets home ground)
I think the Rockets owner even expressed his interest in bringing hockey to Houston, given the Aeros (and Houston’s) history in the WHA in the 70s and the AHL during the years 1994-2013.

While I see your position, the NHL is a business and money talks.
For example the Tampa Bay Lightning are more popular in sunny warm Tampa bay than their awful NFL team (the Buccaneers)
Hockey is a fun sport to watch, and many people in the southern US I know have become recent hockey fans. The sport is growing. Limiting it to northerly climates will hinder the potential

The thing that I'm interested in is how the game grows in Europe. Finland and Sweden already have a strong hockey culture with some top-tier teams, KHL for all it's problems still gets people to their seats so that leaves the rest of Europe for the game to grow on.
