We continue through my forward rankings today with players ranked 41-60. If you missed the Top 40, you can check that out here. MarmosDad will be back in the middle of the week, and I will have 61-80 later in the week. If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions, let me know in the comments section below. Let's get to it!
This is one of the longest posts of all the rankings posts, especially this season where I have more defensemen in the Top 20 overall than ever before. I'll just say that I will have 41-60 up by the end of the week, and if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, let me know. Let's get to it!
If you didn't see my Top 10, in which I really like the top of the draft and really only love nine players, you can check that out here. Today, I'm going to continue through players ranked 11-20. As a reminder, this will be my last post before I move to positional rankings, starting with forwards. That will come early next week. And with that, let's get to it!
And we're off! Today, we start our journey through my rankings with the Top 10 overall. For those of you that are new to these parts, my rankings focus on the offensive categories, namely goals, assists, shots, and special teams points. I assume that your league uses either hits or penalty minutes, but not both. Banger leagues could use this as a baseline and make the obvious adjustments. I will note those extreme cases in the writeups, along with those who always have elite plus-minuses that we can count on.
It's that time of the year again! I'm back again to cover all things fantasy hockey here at Razzball. Today, I simply wanted to touch base and let everyone know that I'm back and what the schedule is going to look like in preseason. Additionally, MarmosDad will be back to help me out once again, which I'm thrilled about. On top of him doing a great job, it's nice to have some continuity with a second writer for once.
I hope everyone is enjoying the NHL playoffs so far! I missed having this stress watching the Sabres in the playoffs, and experiencing game one in person was something I'll never forget given the amazing comeback. Anyways, I wanted to quickly talk about a handful of things that I want to watch over the summer before I call it a season. I'd like to thank all of the loyal Razzballers who read my posts throughout the season, especially those who asked questions or gave feedback. Hopefully the majority of you won your championships and will be back here so I can help your title defense. With that, let's get to it!
And just like that, the regular season is over! Playoffs start on Saturday already and I can't wait. As an aside, how the hell isn't the full playoff schedule out yet? It's 11:15 PM EST and we only know the start times for Saturday. Anyways, I hope all of you won your fantasy championships so you have full bragging rights for the next year. Today, I'm going to start my year in review posts, starting with my bold predictions. Before I get to them, two things... check out MarmosDad's playoff pool post if you're joining one, and join the Razzball Bracket Challenge! Links are below:
The regular season wraps up on Thursday with the playoffs starting on Saturday! I hope that everyone has had fantasy success and if you're in contention over the last four days, best of luck! Over the rest of the month, I will be doing some recap work on the season. I'll be looking at my bold predictions, where I went wrong in my rankings, what went great, and some main things I'm looking for this offseason that will shape my 2026-27 rankings. For today, I'm just going to say that if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let me know at the bottom of this post and I'll be sure to answer.
We're down to the last two weeks (well, 1.5ish weeks) of the regular season, meaning we're down to the nitty gritty of the NHL season. Doing a long weekend recap isn't going to provide as much value to everyone as a look at this week's schedule and how it affects our roster decisions. For that reason, I'm going to highlight the spots where you can gain an edge, specifically in head to head leagues, but also some advantageous spots for roto leagues as well. Let's get to it!
With Draisaitl out for the regular season, somebody in the Oilers supporting cast had to step up. There's been a few depth guys that have, but nobody more than Matt Savoie. The former ninth overall pick from the Sabres has started to come into his own. Savoie had a goal on five shots in the 3-1 win over the Blackhawks. This was his fourth game out of five that Savoie scored a goal, but the most important things for projecting going forward were his role. In this game, Savoie played with McDavid and registered over 19 minutes, including on the top power play unit. The Oilers schedule is pretty spread out so I'm not going to say he's an automatic hold, but Savoie has a Tuesday/Wednesday back to back next week, which is a prime spot to stream him. Let's take a look at what else happened over the last two nights:
There are a couple teams making surprising runs to get back into the playoff race. The most surprising to me, by far, is the Flyers. In a huge showdown with Detroit on Saturday, the Flyers stomped them early and held on for the win. Owen Tippett stole the show with a hat trick and an assist with seven shots. He had two shots in the 2-1 OT win over the Stars, putting Philly two points out of the playoffs, albeit losing the tiebreaker to every team in front of them. Philly has a bunch of games this week against their direct competition, so expect Tocchet to lean on their studs. There are only two games on Friday, so Tippett has a real case to be held. Let's take a look at what else happened over the weekend:
The Anaheim Ducks have taken a big step forward this season. Lucky for them, they're geographically located in the right place. In the Eastern Conference, they'd be on the outside looking in for the playoffs. In the West, specifically the Pacific Division, they're close to a lock. The Ducks won their fourth straight game on Thursday, with Mikael Granlund scoring all three goals in a 3-2 OT win. Granlund now has seven goals in his last four games and continues to get big minutes. We've reached the point of the season where most of the fringe are streamers because we need to make a push in the fantasy playoffs, but with Anaheim having four games next week, Granlund is making a real case to be held while he's on fire. Let's take a look at what else happened on Thursday night:
