Those are all really snazzy except for the Kings jerseys, which I hate. They look like practice jerseys to me, which is sad, because I actually really liked their white and purple one, and actually own that jersey.
It changes constantly so don't hold me to that list tomorrow. I love most of the jerseys in the league and the only consistency is that the Hawks and Rangers are always my top 2.

Good for you. Kings fans hate that jersey with the purple and glitter.
I don't like them. They should go back to white at home. I know it's a cost issue due to the increase in alternative jerseys. And it really doesn't affect the TV audience.
But the season ticket holders, the lifeblood of the league. It's kind of nit-picky yes, but when white was the home jersey and you went to the arena 41 nights a year, you got to see all of the different away colors. Now you see the opponent in white every single night. For me for instance, it's Preds gold vs Opponent white every single game. I liked it better when it was Preds white vs Blackhawks Red, Oilers Blue, Kings Purple, Flyers Orange, Stars Green... like I said, it's a very minor issue, but if I had the choice I would switch back.

I look at it like this: every team has a white jersey. It's our color jersey that represents the franchise that we support, whoever that may be. In my case, its the Flyers. In our home, why should the opponent get to fly their colors on their backs? It's our home, we should be flying our orange. We shouldn't be the generic ones.
The NHL needs to change back to having white at home. 41 white jerseys coming through your stadium each season is quite bland. Traditional colors like the Hawks' red, Philly's orange and Toronto's blue change the in-game environment for fans.
