Yahoo Sports reveals list of top 50 skaters ahead of 2025-26 Fantasy Hockey season
The Fantasy season is officially open with some leagues already looking to draft their squads for the 2025-26 season. Over at one of the most notable platforms for Fantasy Hockey, Yahoo has come up with their early projections for next season. We can look at the top names for skaters and examine who falls where in the early drafting process.
No surprise with the top name being Connor McDavid after continually putting together stellar numbers every season since joining the league. To round out the top ten is a surprising name in Dallas' Mikko Rantanen, who could be a sneaky great pick towards the end of the first round after recording a stellar postseason this past May.
