Golden Knights are Stanley Cup champions and don't need anything for a hangover. They're one of the best teams in the NHL.

The National Hockey League is in full swing, and teams are gearing up for the holiday season. As the Golden Knights bask in their Stanley Cup glory, they find themselves in a position of strength, lacking any glaring weaknesses. The Rangers, under coach Peter Laviolette, have seen early success, but with injuries to key players like Adam Fox and Filip Chytil, they may need to shop for a third-line center. The Stars are thriving on the road but hope to bring that success home, while the Kings are looking for a reliable backup goalie and a top-six forward. The Canucks are in need of depth defensemen, and the Panthers are hoping to bolster their special teams. The Avalanche are on the hunt for an established goalie to support Alexandar Georgiev, and the Maple Leafs are exploring the market for defensemen. Finally, the Jets, riding a wave of recent success, are in search of an offensive-minded defenseman to round out their roster. As the holiday season approaches, these teams are looking to make strategic moves to strengthen their lineups and secure their positions in the NHL.
