2025-26 Fantasy Hockey Keeper Rankings

Which NHL players are worth protecting for 2025-26 — projected production multiplied by the seasons left on the contract, ranked by position.

Updated October 3, 2026

Projected points per season times seasons remaining on the contract, so the number is simply total production still under club control. Term is what a points ranking cannot show you: a modest defenceman signed six more years is a bigger asset than a star with one season left. Cost is shown but not folded in — per-dollar value does not change with term, so it belongs on the cap-efficiency board instead. Projections come from 2024-25; contracts are what is on file today.

47 ranked players are left out here — their deals expire before or during 2025-26, so they cannot be kept. Showing the top 100 of 404 ranked.

These use one simple scoring profile, so your own league's totals will differ.

Run your league on these numbers

FanPoolHQ is a commissioner platform for fantasy hockey: rosters under a salary cap, four draft types with live updates, trades that need approving, and scoring you configure yourself. Projections like these are computed against your league's own scoring, not this one.
