Fantasy hockey top 200 player rankings for 2026-27
Most valuable overall options in standard leagues; new podcast episodes
© Macklin Celebrini #71 of the San Jose Sharks looks on during the first period against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena on November 30, 2024 in Seattle, Washington.
Standard fantasy categories include goals, assists, power-play points, shots on goal, hits and blocked shots for skaters and wins, goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts for goalies. Value has been quantified based on factors including but not limited to past production in the regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs, line combinations, defense pairs, power-play usage, team goalie situations, anticipated start volume, projected goal support (or lack thereof), injury history or concern, age, contract status and overall upside for the 2026-27 season. This list is a collaborative effort by Pete Jensen, Chris Meaney and Troy Perlowitz.
