Vegas won the Pacific again behind Jack Eichel's career year, Mark Stone's defensive impact, and Adin Hill's bounce-back goaltending. The summer's sign-and-trade for Mitch Marner was the offseason headline, and his first year in Vegas went about as expected, 24 goals and 80 points in 81 games, solid production but a clear step down from his 102-point Toronto walk year. The system is the same heavy, structured, four-line attack that won the 2023 Cup, but the cap-tight roster is showing its age and only sits middle-of-the-pack in possession metrics. Still a playoff team nobody wants to draw.
