The Capitals could be suffering from a literal Stanley Cup hangover while John Tavares made the Atlantic Division a lot more competitive by joining the Maple Leafs. Erik Karlsson got himself out of Ottawa and into the Sharks’ lineup and the Stars and Rangers plucked head coaches from the NCAA ranks.

It all left us excited for the new season, but also with a whole lot of questions. Here’s one for every team:

ANAHEIM DUCKS
Is their Stanley Cup window officially closed?

It’s looking likely. Goalie John Gibson was extended, which is great, but there was no effort to get significantly younger up front. Ryan Getzlaf is still reliable, but Ryan Kesler isn’t cleared for contact. Corey Perry’s five-month return timetable following knee surgery doesn’t help things this season—and we can probably expect more injuries along the way. If things aren’t looking good by the deadline, might be time to blow it up.

ARIZONA COYOTES
Are they ready to make the jump?

They could be, but they need some youngsters to step up. Dylan Strome, the No. 3 pick in 2015, needs to be a consistent presence. So does Lawson Crouse. And Alex Galchenyuk, still just 24, needs to become elite after returning from a lower-body injury. The defense, led by Oliver Ekman-Larsson, is underrated and plays in front of a netminder on the precipice of breaking out in Antti Raanta.
