Several National Hockey League teams have made leadership changes, focusing on new head coaches and roster updates to improve their chances of winning in the playoffs.

數支 NHL 球隊進行了領導層變動，重點在於新任總教練與陣容更新，以提高在季後賽中獲勝的機會。

The Los Angeles Kings have signed 61-year-old veteran Peter Laviolette to a three-year contract. This decision follows the firing of Jim Hiller and a short period under D.J. Smith. The team wants to stop a five-year trend of losing in the first round of the playoffs and fix their poor scoring, as they ranked 29th in the league last season. Furthermore, Laviolette has experience coaching Artemi Panarin, a player the Kings acquired last winter.

洛杉磯國王隊與 61 歲的資深教練 Peter Laviolette 簽署了一份三年合約。此決定是在解雇 Jim Hiller 且經歷 D.J. Smith 短暫執教後做出的。球隊希望打破連續五年在季後賽首輪出局的趨勢，並解決得分能力低下的問題，因為他們上賽季在聯賽中僅排名第 29 位。此外，Laviolette 擁有執教 Artemi Panarin 的經驗，而 Panarin 正是國王隊在去年冬天簽下的球員。

Other teams are also restructuring. In Vancouver, Manny Malhotra has been promoted to head coach, while Henrik and Daniel Sedin have returned as co-presidents of hockey operations. Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets have made Rick Bowness their permanent head coach after he performed well as an interim. In Las Vegas, the appointment of John Tortorella has already led the Golden Knights to the Western Conference finals. Additionally, the team improved by trading for Mitch Marner from Toronto, using a special contract rule to give him an eight-year deal. Marner has since shown a significant increase in scoring and efficiency.

其他球隊也在進行重組。在溫哥華，Manny Malhotra 被提升為總教練，而 Henrik 與 Daniel Sedin 則以曲棍球營運共同總裁的身份回歸。同時，哥倫布藍外套隊在 Rick Bowness 擔任臨時總教練表現出色後，正式任命他為常任總教練。在拉斯維加斯，John Tortorella 的任命已帶領金騎士闖入西區決賽。此外，球隊透過交易從多倫多引進 Mitch Marner 來提升戰力，並利用特殊合約規定與其簽署八年合約。自此，Marner 的得分與效率有了顯著提升。

In contrast, the Toronto Maple Leafs are currently searching for a new leader after a disappointing season. General Manager John Chayka has interviewed about 55 candidates. Although Joe Pavelski is being considered for his leadership skills, many analysts believe the team needs an experienced coach to handle the high pressure. Consequently, the franchise plans to use the first overall draft pick on Gavin McKenna. Some scouts believe McKenna's skills are so advanced that he should join the NHL immediately to fill the gap left by Marner.

相比之下，多倫多楓葉隊在經歷了一個令人失望的賽季後，目前正在尋找新領袖。總經理 John Chayka 已經面試了約 55 位候選人。雖然 Joe Pavelski 因其領導能力而被考慮，但許多分析師認為球隊需要一名經驗豐富的教練來應對高壓環境。因此，該球隊計劃在選秀會使用首輪第一號選擇權挑選 Gavin McKenna。部分球探認為 McKenna 的技巧極其成熟，應立即加入 NHL 以填補 Marner 離隊後留下的缺口。

The league is currently following a trend of hiring experienced veterans to stabilize struggling teams while carefully introducing new tactical ideas.

聯盟目前趨勢是聘請經驗豐富的資深人士來穩定掙扎中的球隊，同時謹慎地引入新的戰術構想。
