Our team of fantasy hockey analysts has each compiled their own rankings for the 2026-27 NHL season. You can find each individual list below, along with a consensus Top 250 built from all four.

Each analyst’s rankings are based on similar scoring settings, primarily using G, A, PPP, SOG, HITS, and BLK for skaters, while also factoring in other stats like plus-minus (despite some of its real-life flaws). For goalies, we used Wins, GAA, SV%, and SO.

For the consensus, we don’t simply average the four ranks. Straight averaging treats the gap between 1st and 10th the same as the gap between 200th and 210th, which understates how much more valuable early-round players are. Instead, each analyst’s rank is converted to a value; those values are averaged, and the board is re-ranked from the result. Players left off a list take a penalty. Of the 250 players here, 233 appear on all four lists.

We’ll also be releasing a consensus vs. ADP comparison tool, so you can easily see which players we rank higher or lower than ADP on each platform.
