It was a dizzying summer of player movement in the NHL, with two of the biggest trades in years happening within minutes of each other on June 29.

The Edmonton Oilers traded forward Taylor Hall to the New Jersey Devils for defenseman Adam Larsson. Less than 20 minutes later, the Montreal Canadiens traded defenseman P.K. Subban to the Nashville Predators for defenseman Shea Weber.

But that was far from the only major change that took place over the offseason. With the 2016-17 season on the doorstep, here is a list of 16 of the most prominent faces who are in new places (in alphabetical order):

Frederik Andersen, G, Toronto Maple Leafs

The Maple Leafs have been searching for a No 1 goaltender for years, and general manager Lou Lamoriello hopes the search ends with Andersen. Lamoriello acquired Andersen from the Anaheim Ducks on June 20 for a first-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft (No. 30, center Sam Steel) and a second-round pick in 2017. The Maple Leafs immediately signed Andersen to a five-year, $25 million contract.
