Every Dallas name in the 2026-27 pool
Sorted by desk rank in the format selected above. Any header re-sorts. Counting columns are 2025-26 season totals. The value chip is consensus rank minus desk rank: mint means the desk is higher on him than the four published boards, coral means the room makes you pay.

Dallas are 1st in power-play points
Six categories, summed across every Dallas 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. The value is in scoring, and it is concentrated at the top.

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.
Deep at centre, barren at right wing
Ordered by blend inside each column, tinted by the same number on a fixed league-wide scale. Darker is better, and an empty column is the club telling you where you will have to shop elsewhere. Every tile links to the player.

Dallas against the other 31
Draftable stock
5 Dallas skaters inside the desk's top 100 — 1st 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
59.4% held by the top three — 8th-most concentrated
Above the league median of 55.2%. The names outside the top three are even-strength assets.
Oettinger is a workhorse
Last season's starts, split between the goaltenders the pool ranks here. The calendar puts 13 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. Oettinger sits at 65.9%.

Power-play points are normally split in Dallas
- 1 Wyatt Johnston C 42 PPP · 21.3% · 48.8% of his own points
- 2 Jason Robertson LW 41 PPP · 20.8% · 42.7% of his own points
- 3 Mikko Rantanen RW 34 PPP · 17.3% · 44.2% of his own points
59.4% is a league-typical split: a first unit that takes most of it, a second unit that is not decorative.

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 Dallas schedule edge
The only input on this page that is already known. It does nothing to a first-round pick and a great deal to your last two bench spots.
Season opens 2026-10-02. Mint tiles help you; coral tiles cost you.
What this roster already did
Mikko Rantanen put up 1-4-5 with 3 shots on 2024-01-24 for COL, worth 9.8 ESPN points. It is the 16th-biggest single game in the desk's ten-season file.
Jason Robertson owns the 4th-best LW season in the ten-year file: 2022-23, 82 games, 46-63-109, 2.71 ESPN points per game.
No ranked Dallas prospect on the 2027 board
The prospect layer carries no Dallas Stars name for 2026-27. The youngest names already on the fantasy board are Wyatt Johnston (23), Thomas Harley (25), Jason Robertson (27).
Reading the Dallas board
3 inside the desk top 50, 5 inside the top 100. Jason Robertson is the ceiling at 2.40, 18th overall. Mikko Rantanen (2.35) sits 0.05 back. A shared top, not an anchor.
Shape: 1st in power-play points, 29th in shots. The value is in scoring, and it is concentrated at the top.
Thomas Harley is the widest gap: desk 88, market 175. 87 slots in your favour. 3 names carry a 20-slot edge.
Three players hold 59.4% of the club's 197 power-play points. A league-typical split, which makes the third name the underpriced one.
32 off-nights of 84, 15th in the league. 13 back-to-backs, 20th-fewest. Neutral at the bottom of your roster.
Jake Oettinger started 54 at 2.59 and 0.899. Workhorse volume, and volume is most of what a fantasy goalie is.
1 in, 0 out on the tracked ledger, headlined by Mikko Rantanen. Average pool age 30.4. 3 trending up, 5 down.
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.
