Four-team ESPN Fantasy Hockey mock draft pits Matiash, Becquey, Chandan, and Allen in a rapid, star-studded sprint. Tkachuk’s groin injury looms large, nudging teams toward IR stash tactics and shuffling speedier risk/reward bets. Sean Allen leans into high-ceiling blueliners and a young forward trio to amplify upside, while Becquey targets top goalies to maximize starts and streaming leverage. Matiash loads elite forwards and solid netminders, and Chandan pursues a best-player strategy with heavy defense early.

The exercise shows in tight pools, waiver talent soars and every pick matters. IR stashes, edge cases, and goaltending anchors redefine how four-team leagues balance risk, ceiling, and depth, with the rounds painting a vivid map of scarce premium talent.
