Anaheim are 27th in goals

category sums, all 32 clubs

Six categories, summed across every Anaheim skater in the pool for 2025-26, each drawn against the league average of the same sum. The tick on every track is that average. Thin in both halves of a category league. Draft the top of this board and leave.

Where the blended points sit

Share of the club's total blended points per game contributed by forwards, defencemen and goaltenders in the pool. A club heavy in the D band is a club whose value survives a league that starts four defencemen.

League context

Anaheim against the other 31

stock, counted concentration, across the league

Draftable stock

2 Anaheim skaters inside the desk's top 100 — 22nd of 32

Every club, sorted. DAL lead with 5; the thinnest club has 0. A tall bar is a roster you will keep bumping into in the first eight rounds.

Power-play concentration

56.8% held by the top three — 11th-most concentrated

Above the league median of 55.2%. The names outside the top three are even-strength assets.

The crease

Dostal is a workhorse

starts, as played

Last season's starts, split between the goaltenders the pool ranks here. The calendar puts 11 back-to-backs in front of them, and those are the nights the starter does not get.

The tick is the league median busiest-goaltender share, 64.7% across the 32 clubs with a pool-ranked crease. Dostal sits at 74.3%.

The first-unit proxy

Power-play points are normally split in Anaheim

power play, measured backward
56.8% top three share of 95 club power-play points
  1. 1 Cutter Gauthier LW 19 PPP · 20.0% · 27.5% of his own points
  2. 2 Leo Carlsson C 18 PPP · 18.9% · 26.9% of his own points
  3. 3 Jackson LaCombe D 17 PPP · 17.9% · 29.3% of his own points

56.8% is a league-typical split: a first unit that takes most of it, a second unit that is not decorative.

Offseason ledger

0 in, 2 out

Only moves that changed a ranked player's club are tracked. Every blend on this page is computed from the player's own history, so a summer arrival brings his numbers with him.

The desk

Reading the Anaheim board

Nobody inside the top 50. 2 inside the top 100. Cutter Gauthier is the ceiling at 1.92, 90th overall. Jackson LaCombe (1.92) sits 0.00 back. A shared top, not an anchor.

Shape: 27th in goals, 32nd in hits. Thin in both halves of a category league. Draft the top of this board and leave.

Troy Terry is the widest gap: desk 156, market 215. 59 slots in your favour. Beckett Sennecke runs the other way, 174 here against 97. You pay 77 slots over. 2 names carry a 20-slot edge.

Three players hold 56.8% of the club's 95 power-play points. A league-typical split, which makes the third name the underpriced one.

36 off-nights of 84, 6th in the league. 11 back-to-backs, 9th-fewest. Stream from here.

Lukas Dostal started 55 at 3.10 and 0.888. Workhorse volume, and volume is most of what a fantasy goalie is.

0 in, 2 out on the tracked ledger, headlined by Jacob Trouba leaving. Average pool age 25.6. 4 trending up, 1 down. Next in line: Beckett Sennecke.

Receipts

What this page does not know

Caveats, printed as the builder wrote them

  • There is no projection here. Every rate is a weighted blend of what already happened, 0.6 on 2025-26, 0.3 on 2024-25, 0.1 on 2023-24, so a player whose role is about to change will be mispriced by exactly the amount his role changes.
  • The DNA bars are club sums, not rates. A club with more pool-ranked skaters sums higher, which is the point: it measures the fantasy roster you can draft, not the average player on it.
  • Power-play share is a proxy for first-unit time, not a measurement of it. It reads last season's points, so a club that rebuilt its top unit in the summer will read wrong until the season corrects it.
  • The depth chart uses the pool's listed position. It is not a line-combination projection and no club has confirmed any of it.
  • PG% is joined from a 250-player game-level build. Where a skater is missing from that build the column is blank rather than estimated.
  • Roster membership follows the live NHL roster feed as of 2026-08-31. Training-camp cuts, waiver claims and September trades are not in it.
  • Goaltender start counts are last season's, from whatever club the goaltender played for. They are workload evidence, not a depth-chart declaration.
