NHL's Next Generation STORMS the Fantasy Hockey Scene | Is Parekh the Flames' Missing Piece?

Rising rookies to watch for 2025-26 include Matthew Schaefer, Michael Misa, Ivan Demidov, Jimmy Snuggerud, and Isak Rosen. Schaefer could crack the Islanders’ lineup and see power-play time, offering immediate keeper-league upside. Misa in San Jose brings elite offensive instincts with a long-term ceiling, while Demidov projects as a premium two-way asset for dynasty formats. Snuggerud has size and scoring ability that could translate into early fantasy points, and Rosen adds late-round upside for Buffalo if his role grows.

NHL's Hidden Gems UNCOVERED | Will These 15-Minute MARVELS Dominate Your DRAFT?

Taylor Hall’s move to Carolina could unlock more top-six ice time and lift his fantasy ceiling, especially in deeper formats. Morgan Frost in Calgary and Marco Kasper in Detroit offer sleeper appeal as their roles expand, while Jamie Benn remains a steady late-round value for multi-category leagues. Will Cuylé, Jake Neighbours, and Kiefer Sherwood emerge as useful late picks as bigger roles materialize, with Connor Bedard and other Rangers stars framed as rookie and rebound targets.

The discussion weaves through Rangers’ strong core (Mika Zibanejad, JT Miller, Artemi Panarin) and DET/NHL leaders, highlighting how minute-by-minute trajectories and line-mate contexts shape streaming and DFS decisions. It also leans into prospect ceilings and division dynamics for a season RPG-style approach.

Which sleepers from this episode have the clearest path to 60+ points this season?In deeper formats, who delivers the most value in hits and shots per game among the discussed players?Which team looks most likely to surprise with a breakout rookie among these players?Which player might fall due to ice-time concerns but has upside if given power-play time?

Can the Leafs Contend without Marner While the Sharks and Mammoth Look to Make Progress

Mitch Marner’s 100-point production is the Leafs’ central question this season, forcing Austin Matthews, William Nylander and John Tavares to shoulder more playmaking and scoring while internal options like Dakota Joshua and a reworked bottom six push for relief. Toronto’s path hinges on depth, cap flexibility, and smart re-signings that keep 1A/1B lanes open for next year’s targets.

San Jose overhauls its blue line with Dmitri Orlov and John Klingberg, while Sam Dickinson, Will Smith and Quint Musty battle for NHL spots amid a broader youth surge. Utah Mammoth, led by Clayton Keller, eye a playoff push as veterans blend with rising talents, underscoring a league-wide tilt toward balancing proven strength with hotly contested developmental bets.

Based on the digest, how should fantasy managers recalibrate Leafs exposure with Marner out and Matthews/Nylander stepping up?What’s the Sharks’ path to a playoff push given the defense overhaul and young talent like Dickinson and Smith?Which Leafs players beyond Matthews and Nylander could surprise fantasy rosters this season?How does Orlov-Klingberg impact the Sharks’ fantasy-friendly blueline for 2024-25?
