Byron Bader of HockeyProspecting.com returns to the show to break down his updated 2026 NHL Draft rankings, his latest model changes, and the prospects fantasy hockey managers need to know.
We discuss NHL equivalency, how Byron’s model evaluates offensive upside, and why players like Carson Carels, Chase Reid, Caleb Malhotra, Tynan Lawrence, Viggo Bjorck, Keaton Verhoeff, Daxon Rudolph and Ryan Lin are so interesting for dynasty leagues.
Plus, Byron gives us his favorite targets, darkhorse picks, and the players he’d be drafting for fantasy hockey dynasty squads.
