Pavel Dorofeyev and Brady Tkachuk are among the familiar faces in new places around the NHL

Traded to the New York Rangers , who signed him to a seven-year, $77 million contract, Dorofeyev will be counted on to lead the way. The shoot-first winger has no fear of being the guy.

Dorofeyev, who turns 26 in late October, is one of several familiar faces in a new place this NHL season.

After spending his first eight years in the league in Ottawa , Brady Tkachuk asked for a trade and ended up with the Panthers and brother Matthew. As if a team with one Tkachuk and Sam Bennett needed more toughness, but Florida got it.
