Nick Alberga and Jake Hahn have the 24/7/365 pulse of the fantasy hockey world. Whether you play daily fantasy or are in a season-long league or pool, the NHL Fantasy on Ice crew, including fantasy gurus Pete Jensen and Chris Meaney, brings the knowledge and advice to give you an edge over your competition. The hosts also dip their toes into the ever-growing world of sports betting.
In the first two season preview episodes, the guys catch up after all the biggest offseason moves to break down the fantasy impact of Brady Tkachuk being traded to the Florida Panthers and the Toronto Maple Leafs drafting Gavin McKenna, signing Sergei Bobrovsky and trading for Darren Raddysh. Other topics discussed include whether the Washington Capitals are the deepest team in the NHL after their offseason upgrades, a fantasy stock watch for Pavel Dorofeyev going to the New York Rangers and the outlook for Bowen Byram with the Chicago Blackhawks and impact of Connor Bedard’s injury.
Then, in the fantasy rankings and debates episode, the crew previews NHL.com's fantasy rankings for the 2026-27 season with the hottest player debates and conversation about who's ranked too high and low for standard redraft leagues. Topics include Connor McDavid vs. Nathan MacKinnon at the top, why Macklin Celebrini is already a top five overall fantasy player, Matthew vs. Brady Tkachuk, Bobrovsky vs. Jacob Markstrom after both goalies changed teams, Auston Matthews vs. Jack Hughes, whether to reach on Leo Carlsson after his offer sheet and mega contract to stay in Anaheim and the impact of Patrick Kane going back to the Chicago Blackhawks.
