The NHL revealed its All-Star and All-Rookie teams for the 2023-24 campaign following the league's awards show on Thursday night.

1st All-Star team 🌟

The NHL's first All-Star team is largely highlighted by award winners.

MacKinnon took home the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award, Hughes won his first career Norris Trophy, and Hellebuyck earned his second Vezina Trophy during Thursday's proceedings.

Kucherov was a finalist for the Hart and Ted Lindsay after leading the league with 144 points, Josi was nominated for the Norris, and Panarin finished fifth in voting for the Hart thanks to his 120-point season.

2nd All-Star team ⭐

The second All-Star team similarly boasts plenty of talent, though all of its members went home empty-handed on Thursday night.

Makar and Demko were finalists for the Norris Trophy and Vezina Trophy, respectively, while McDavid was nominated for the Hart.

Forsberg, meanwhile, posted new career highs in goals (48) and points (94) this past season. Fox was once again a workhorse for the New York Rangers and finished fourth in Norris Trophy voting as a result of his efforts. Pastrnak enjoyed a 110-point campaign and wound up in eighth place on the Hart Trophy ballot.

All-Rookie team 👶

Bedard took home the Calder Trophy as the league's top first-year player, and he's joined by the other two finalists - Faber and Hughes - on the All-Rookie team.

Rounding out the young squad is Kochetkov, Cooley, and Rossi, who finished fourth, fifth, and sixth in voting for the hardware, respectively.

Colorado Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon took home the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player, beating out Edmonton Oilers dynamo Connor McDavid and Tampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov.

MacKinnon claimed the Hart after previously finishing as a finalist three times.

Here's how the voting broke down:

MacKinnon finished second to Kucherov in the Art Ross Trophy race. The Avalanche center racked up 140 points over 82 games in 2023-24, falling four points shy of the Lightning forward. However, MacKinnon led the NHL with 92 even-strength points, beating Kucherov by one.

Colorado's catalyst also topped the NHL in standings points above replacement, wins above replacement, and goals above replacement, according to Evolving-Hockey. Toronto Maple Leafs sniper Auston Matthews and McDavid placed second and third, respectively, in all three categories.

The Avalanche controlled 56.64% of the expected goals when MacKinnon was on the ice at five-on-five this season, along with 59.41% of the scoring chances, per Natural Stat Trick.

MacKinnon has been a perennial Hart candidate for years. Here's how close he's come:

In 2017-18, he lost to Taylor Hall - then of the New Jersey Devils - by only 70 voting points. Hall had 1,264 to MacKinnon's 1,194. The Nova Scotian forward fell just 12 first-place votes shy of Hall that year.

Earlier Thursday, MacKinnon won the Ted Lindsay Award, claiming the honor of MVP as voted upon by his peers.

MacKinnon's 51 goals, 89 assists, and 140 points were all career highs. He posted 42 tallies and 69 helpers last season to hit triple digits in points for the first time.

He'll turn 29 on Sept. 1.

The Washington Capitals acquired forward Andrew Mangiapane from the Calgary Flames in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick, the teams announced Thursday.

He's under contract for the 2024-25 season with a $5.8-million cap hit and can become an unrestricted free agent next summer. His deal includes an eight-team no-trade list, according to CapFriendly.

Mangiapane chipped in with 14 goals and 40 points - including 36 at even strength - in 75 outings this past season, his seventh with the Flames. Calgary selected him in the sixth round of the 2015 NHL Draft.

The 28-year-old's best statistical season came in 2021-22 when he amassed 35 tallies and 20 helpers while appearing in all 82 games. He's reached the 40-point plateau in each of the past three campaigns.

Mangiapane has totaled 109 goals and 215 points in 417 career NHL contests.

Calgary now has just under $29 million in cap space as a result of the move.

"Today's trade provides us with an increase in valuable draft capital, and we have continued to emphasize the importance of how upcoming drafts will influence the future of our franchise," Flames general manager Craig Conroy said in a statement. "Additionally, this move affords us with more salary cap and roster flexibility to make decisions after July 1."

Mangiapane's agent said his camp never requested a trade but wasn't completely surprised by the deal, per Sportsnet's Eric Francis.

The Capitals, meanwhile, have been focused on adding to their forward group. They acquired Pierre-Luc Dubois from the Los Angeles Kings for goaltender Darcy Kuemper last week.

Washington is currently $2 million over the cap, but the team projects to have a tad over $7 million in space if Nicklas Backstrom remains on long-term injured reserve.

Vancouver Canucks rearguard Quinn Hughes brought home his first career Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman in 2023-24.

Nashville Predators captain Roman Josi and Colorado Avalanche star Cale Makar were the other two finalists. The Professional Hockey Writers Association votes on the award at the end of the regular season.

Here's how the voting broke down:

Hughes led all defensemen with 75 assists and 92 points - including 54 at even strength - while appearing in all 82 games this season. He joined Henrik Sedin as the second player in Canucks history to record over 70 helpers in one season while breaking his own franchise benchmark for the most points by a rearguard in a single campaign.

The 24-year-old also ranked first among all blue-liners in goals above replacement (24.9) and wins above replacement (4.1).

Prior to Hughes, a Canucks defenseman had never been named a Norris Trophy finalist.

Josi won the hardware in 2020 and was nominated for a third time after leading all blue-liners with 23 goals and ranking third with 85 points in 82 games. He also tied for the second-most game-winners by a rearguard with five.

Makar was named a finalist for the fourth straight campaign after ending the season with a career-high 90 points and 69 assists in 77 outings. He owned the best point-per-game rate (1.17) among all defensemen.

Erik Karlsson took home the Norris Trophy last season as a member of the San Jose Sharks.
