There appears to be a wide range of opinions on these. My views:
Great: Buffalo (I can forgive the wordmark given how good the rest is), Minnesota, Colorado, Florida (love that logo), New Jersey (yes please Christmas jerseys), Vegas.
Awful: Arizona, Jets (looks like it was made in 5 minutes), Dallas, Los Angeles (that logo is so out of place on that jersey), Sens, Flyers, Sharks, Leafs... oh god that Leafs jersey is bad.
Boring: Boston, Detroit, Montreal, Islanders (is this actually a different jersey from the normal one?), Nashville, Pittsburgh
Not sure what I think about it:
Carolina: (love the Whalers but this isn't quite the Whalers)
Calgary: It's not quite boring because it's Blasty but it's as boring as you could make Blasty.
Tampa: Same thing. It's not quire boring, because it's a throwback, but they didn't do much with it.
Vancouver: (props for going for the flying V and the gradient at the same time and somehow making it not awful but it's not great either)
Washington: I really like the colour choice but I hate the lettering font they used back then and the wordmark is actually more annoying than on the sabres jersey.
