NHL risers and fallers: Your picks. Plus: The Moldovan Mountain
Red Light newsletter 🏒 | This is The Athletic's hockey newsletter. Sign up here to receive Red Light directly in your inbox. Good morning, folks. The pace is definitely picking up in the hockey world, as we have piles of good reads today. First, let's get into your survey responses from last week … We're overdue for a shift among the league's best and worst teams. Over the past five years, the nine clubs with the best records have largely remained unchanged, with only the Bruins falling out of that group — with a thud — last season. Meanwhile, among the NHL's worst 10 teams over that span, only the upstart Canadiens have pulled out of the basement and into firm 'playoff team' territory. Advertisement So what are we going to get this season? More of the same – i.e., Dallas versus Edmonton and Colorado in the West playoffs, and Florida taking out Carolina, Tampa and Toronto in the East? Or something new? In last week's newsletter, we put out the call for your thoughts on who the NHL's biggest risers and fallers will be this season. Nearly 700 of you responded, providing us with an interesting crowd-sourced list of, potentially, what's to come. These were your picks: Which team in the East will be the most improved? Other than the Habs, who took a nice 15-point leap forward last year, there wasn't much consensus on this question, possibly because it feels like the playoff teams in the East are firmly entrenched. Montreal and Columbus make sense given their youth movements and strong seasons last year — the Canadiens finished just seven points behind the Panthers — while the Rangers crashed out to 85 points last year and have Igor Shesterkin, Artemi Panarin and Adam Fox to presumably keep them competitive. But I'd put my money on the Devils, who should be able to put up more than 91 points with better health from Jack Hughes and company. If anyone in the East is jumping up 10-plus points, it's them. Which team in the East will take the biggest step back? The Capitals surprised most of the hockey world by winning the East and piling up 111 points before a disappointing showing in the playoffs in Round 2, so I'm not surprised they received the most votes here. And many are down on the Leafs after they lost Mitch Marner and failed to find another top-line winger to replace him. We'll see if their by-committee approach — or an in-season addition — can get them close to last season's 108 points. Boston, meanwhile, totally bottomed out already last year and will likely be at least slightly more respectable just due to better health alone. The Penguins could definitely be in the running for far more pain, though, if they continue their selloff and end up in the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes. Advertisement Which team in the West will be the most improved? I don't have any quibbles here. It makes sense that all five of these teams will improve their point totals given offseason additions, internal improvements or just how rotten they were last year. Or, in some cases, all three. The Ducks will be very interesting to watch as some of their young players started to put together strong performances late in the year. (Keep an eye on 20-year-old Leo Carlsson, in particular.) They also added an experienced coach in Joel Quenneville and some veteran depth up front that should allow them to finish higher than 30th in goals per game this season. Of these five, however, I'd peg the Mammoth with the best chances of breaking a playoff drought. Which team in the West will take the biggest step back? The Kings' offseason is not getting rave reviews, either in L.A. or around the league. They quietly put up the NHL's sixth-best record last season with stout defensive play and surprisingly good goaltending, both of which could fall off this year. And Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar are not getting any younger. The Jets, meanwhile, lost Nikolaj Ehlers after basically everything went right last season, so a dip is probably coming there, too, barring another heroic effort from Connor Hellebuyck. Things will be mighty interesting in the West, however, if the Oilers and Stars skeptics are right. Overall, looking at these results, it doesn't feel like there's going to be a huge sea change in the NHL standings this season. But this league always seems to find a way to throw us a few surprises every year. If you're a Panthers fan, the answer is a resounding yes. But not every fan base is feeling as jubilant as those folks, as evidenced by this interesting breakdown from Dom Luszczyszyn. There were some surprises in this year's front-office confidence rankings, for sure, especially when you get into how the wider public views front offices versus fans of certain teams (i.e., Pittsburgh). Advertisement After Florida, the rest of the top five was rounded out by Dallas, Carolina, Tampa Bay and Montreal. The bottom five were made up of poor ol' Buffalo in 32nd, followed by Nashville, Boston, Seattle and the Rangers. But check out the full article (all links in this newsletter are free to read!) to see where every team slots in and how front offices were scored in six key categories: roster building, cap management, drafting and development, trading, free agency and vision. Alex Ovechkin enters this season just three goals from 900, so he wins the prize for the most exciting milestone mark. But there are three other big names on the cusp of goal-scoring greatness: One veteran in the Central Division should hit 600 goals in 2025-26, and two others in the Atlantic are almost at 500. And all of them have something in common with Ovechkin. Who are they? And what's their commonality? Even in the offseason, our army of hockey writers is cranking out the hits. Here are some of our top items from the past seven days that you may have missed. 🏒 What should the Rangers do about Panarin needing a contract extension? He's on the verge of turning 34 and in the final year of his deal. Peter Baugh examines yet another tricky situation for New York. 💸 The Hoffmann family has emerged as a bidder for the Penguins. Rob Rossi digs into who they are and what it could mean for Pittsburgh. 🥊 Everyone has an opinion on where the NHL most needs to improve. Some of our staff got together in a room to fight about what they'd like to see changed, with entertaining results. 🤔 'The Athletic Hockey Show' Prospect Series with Max Bultman, Corey Pronman and Scott Wheeler recaps this summer's Hlinka Gretzky Cup, a gold medal win for Team USA and a disappointing performance for Canada. Plus, Gavin McKenna. 🥇 Speaking of McKenna, he tops our latest 2026 NHL Draft ranking. Check out the rest of the top 32 for a taste of what's likely to be a strong group of young stars. If you haven't heard of Alexander Karmanov yet, you soon will. The 17-year-old defenseman from tiny Moldova is an incredible 7 feet tall and weighs 277 pounds and has been drafted by junior teams in the OHL and USHL and committed to Penn State in the NCAA. I really enjoyed chatting with Karmanov and his family last week for today's story. He's got a good head on his (massive) shoulders and is a positive hockey story worth rooting for as he begins camp with the OHL Brantford Bulldogs this weekend. Good luck to the trainers trying to find gear to fit this kid, though. Steven Stamkos of the Predators is only 18 goals shy of becoming the 22nd player in NHL history to net 600. John Tavares of the Leafs is six back from 500, and Patrick Kane with the Red Wings is eight away from becoming just the fifth American to get there. Including Ovechkin, all four were top draft picks (in 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2009). It pays to pick No. 1. Love Red Light? Check out The Athletic's other newsletters.

Chivu Admits ‘I Feel The Burden Of Responsibility' Ahead Of Inter Milan Vs Torino Serie A Opener
Cristian Chivu says that he feels the 'burden of responsibility' ahead of Inter Milan's Serie A opener against Torino. The 44-year-old spoke to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews, just a few days before the Nerazzurri kick off their league campaign. He also praised striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. Inter Milan are just a few weeks away from the start of their Serie A season. The Nerazzurri kick off their campaign against Torino on Monday. They host the Granata at the San Siro in their first match of the season. This will be the first Serie A match in charge of Inter for new coach Cristian Chivu. Meanwhile, some new faces who have arrived during the summer transfer window will also have a chance to make their debuts. Inter came agonizingly close to winning the Serie A title last season. However, they lost out by just a single point to Napoli on the final day of the campaign. Therefore, Chivu will have the task of trying to return Inter to the summit of Italian football in his first season at the helm of the club with whom he spent six years as a player. Chivu: 'I Feel Responsibility' Ahead Of Inter Serie A Opener Vs Torino MONZA, ITALY – AUGUST 12: FC Internazionale coach Cristian Chivu looks on before the Pre-season Friendly match between AC Monza and FC Internazionale at U-Power Stadium on August 12, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu said that as far as his feelings about the start of the season, 'I don't talk about my emotions.' 'I'm good at hiding them,' he said, then joked 'and at not having them.' 'Obviously, coaching the team where I've spent a long time and won so much gives me something extra.' 'I'm sure the burden of responsibility I feel here will be able to hide my feelings,' Chivu said. 'We try to maintain the same mentality. The same perception of the importance of being an Inter player.' The coach declared that 'there are expectations, passion, and love.' Meanwhile, Chivu called Inter striker Ange-Yoan Bonny 'a pure young guy.' 'He's someone who wants to improve,' the 44-year-old added. 'He's at a big club, and he's understood that right away by working hard from day one.' Chivu praised Bonny for 'immediately making himself available to the group.' 'Having top players around you allows you to grow quickly,' the Inter coach added.
