  • Fantasy Hockey Pod With an Actual Personality

    By far THE best fruit-based Fantasy Hockey podcast out there. Blake and Nate balance each other out perfectly with Nate’s more serious and analytical tone, compared to Blake’s off-the-wall humour.

Q: Which other players could make an immediate NHL impact or at least in dynasty formats, and which teams are the best fits for fantasy value?
Victor highlights Schmitz as a strong immediate fit with the Rangers, and Bjork as a potential high-floor, early-impact player for Winnipeg, with several others like Carl's and Reed emerging due to perfect landing spots and system usage.
MUST DRAFT Rookies from the 2026 NHL Draft feat. Victor Nuño
Q: Are McKenna and Stenberg truly head and shoulders above the rest, or could the rest of the field catch up in their development and impact?
Victor argues they form a separate tier with McKenna possibly having higher scoring upside, while Stenberg may offer more all-around impact, including defensive play and penalty killing, which could translate into stronger fantasy stability.
