I think it's a very good list. No need to comment on the Flames - I don't think many Flame fans would argue with the choice.

I might not have picked the Rangers myself, but they definitely got younger, and getting Vesey for free can't hurt.

Arizona, lots of good moves, and they acquired assets utilizing cap space.

Panthers, sure.

Unlike many, I think Montreal improved a lot. As AB said, they addressed their biggest needs. With Weber and Shaw, they took a couple huge steps towards getting harder to play against. I know Subban is popular, but I'll take Weber every time when trying to build a winner (as does Team Canada).
