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!
Happy Wednesday, Razzball faithful!
It’s one final Wednesday write-up from your guy, MarmosDad, and things are starting to get interesting in the first round. Sens and Kings fans are ready to watch a lot more baseball, and a few other teams are headed in the same direction.
Today, there will be more updates on the leading scorers from each series, along with notes on some of the names I outlined in the 2026 Fantasy Hockey Playoff Pool Review.
That means updates for all the Must Have skaters and any of the Worth the Gamble or Under the Radar guys who need them.
Will we get a clearer picture of who we’ll be seeing in Round Two? Did the Bruins copy the Penguins by staving off elimination and forcing a Game 6?
Let’s have a look!
Happy Wednesday, Razzball faithful!
We’re blade deep in the first round of the NHL Playoffs, and hopefully your pool rosters and brackets are slotted neatly into the “so far so good” territory.
The timing of the start of Round One was a bit unfortunate, as some pairings weren’t finalized until after I wrote up our 2026 Fantasy Hockey Playoff Pool Review (try saying that one 5 times fast with a mouthful of ginger ale).
But guess what?! It’ll be a full report of the postseason dance partners today!
I’ll have each First Round matchup with updates and check-ins on our players I mentioned in the guide.
That means updates for all the Must Have skaters, and any of the Worth the Gamble or Under the Radar guys who need it.
Let’s go!
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:
Happy Wednesday, Razzball faithful!
Are you ready for a Fantasy Hockey Playoff Pool preview? Do you need a primer for drafting your playoff pool roster?
Well, I have some good news for you!
Welcome to the first annual (maybe) MarmosDad NHL Playoff Preview!
I’ll go through some notes on how to strategize when making your picks for the playoff pool, then do a rundown of each playoff team, with names to look out for during your drafts.
Let’s get to it!
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.
Happy Wednesday, Razzball faithful!
As Viz said on Sunday, we’re officially 1.5 weeks from the end of the regular season!
Hopefully, you finished up your head-to-head playoffs on a strong note, or you have enough of a lead in your roto-points leagues that you can enjoy the final 3-4 games without feverishly refreshing your league app.
If you have the luxury of being able to relax, enjoy it! More than a few NHL teams are facing a tough road ahead for the next 9 days.
Why? Well, it's time for the playoff push!
We've got three teams tied for first place in the Atlantic division.
One point separates three teams at the top of the Pacific Division.
And our wild card spots could be filled by any of a half dozen teams in either conference.
Quite a few teams were jockeying for playoff position Tues
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:
