The 2026-27 fantasy hockey board is being built from the crease outward, with position rankings, club-by-club projections and draft tools now part of the preseason file. The material includes forward, defense and goaltender lists, plus separate looks at rookies, sleepers, breakout candidates and bounce-back players.

The draft-prep package covers the full pool-room routine: projected scoring, a first mock draft, a top-250 overall board, keeper and dynasty rankings, and a cheat sheet for draft day.
Position-by-position files include rankings for the top 100 forwards, top 50 defensemen and top 25 goaltenders. Goalie coverage also includes projected wins, an important number for managers weighing starter workloads and team strength in front of the net.
Additional preseason features identify players who could take a step forward, veteran rebound options, late-round sleepers and the 10 leading rookie choices. A season-preview run of NHL Fantasy on Ice podcasts is also included.

Draft board notes
The overall package is designed for several formats rather than a single scoring setup. The top-250 list gives managers a broad draft board, while the forward, blue-line and crease rankings allow for more targeted decisions once a pool’s roster requirements are known.
Keeper and dynasty managers have their own rankings, and the rookie list provides an early read on younger players who may carry added value beyond one season. The breakout, sleeper and bounce-back files round out the deeper-draft conversation.
