As the NHL offseason wraps up and training camps approach, the league has seen significant changes, including the relocation of the Arizona Coyotes to Salt Lake City as the Utah Hockey Club. NHL.com staff have highlighted potential candidates for major awards, including the Norris Trophy for best defenseman and the Calder Trophy for top rookie. Notable defenseman Evan Bouchard, with an impressive 82 points last season, is a strong contender for the Norris Trophy if he can replicate his performance. For the Calder Trophy, the spotlight is on Macklin Celebrini, the first overall pick, who is expected to play a key role on a rebuilding San Jose Sharks team. Celebrini's family proximity and the likelihood of significant ice time position him as an early frontrunner. Meanwhile, Connor McDavid continues to be a dominant force, aiming for another Art Ross Trophy after four consecutive 100-point seasons.
