RANKING THE TOP 25 PLAYERS IN THE NHL | 2025

NHL's 2025 top-25 blends proven stars with budding stars and splits the difference between regular-season dominance and playoff pedigree. Panarin’s drop sparks debate about whether goals alone outrun clutch moments, while Hedman, Slavin and Heiskanen anchor a defense-first core that could tilt where players land this season.

Which players have the most to gain from a breakout season in 2025, and what fantasy signals would indicate they’re ready to ascend?How heavily should playoff performance weigh into rankings vs regular-season output for fantasy planning in 2025?What impact does Kaprizov’s 17-million contract have on his fantasy value and cap-space-driven moves across the league?Which goalie has the best chance to crack the top-25 in 2025, given the current landscape?Considering the top five consistency, which players beyond the elite group could push into the conversation by year-end?
