2026-27 Hold/Stream List

Version 1.0 of this season’s hold/stream list is below.  For those of you new to these parts, this is pretty straightforward.  This is for standard 12 man leagues so none of the additional categories like faceoff wins, etc.  If a player is in the hold category, they are a slam dunk hold, don’t even think about.  If they’re on the fringe, you can make a case either way depending on team needs.  If they’re a streamer, then you can pick them up when you need starts and potentially hold them for a bit if they get hot, but don’t anticipate keeping them on your roster long term.  Also, assume that every starting goalie is a hold unless otherwise noted.  If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, leave them below.  Let’s get to it!
