Every St. Louis 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.

St. Louis are 18th in blocks
Six categories, summed across every St. Louis 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. A middle club in both halves of a category league; the edge here is player-by-player, not roster-wide.

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 defence, 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.

St. Louis against the other 31
Draftable stock
3 St. Louis skaters inside the desk's top 100 — 20th 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
44.9% held by the top three — 32nd-most concentrated
Below the league median of 55.2%. Power-play value here is not locked behind three players.
A split St. Louis crease
Last season's starts, split between the goaltenders the pool ranks here. The calendar puts 12 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. Hofer sits at 52.4%.

A top three holding only 44.9% is an open power play. The fourth and fifth names are more live than their totals look.

Reading the St. Louis board
13 St. Louis skaters clear the pool line, plus 2 goaltenders. Robert Thomas sets the ceiling: 2.05 a night, 69th in the pool. Dylan Holloway (1.99) sits 0.06 back. A shared top, not an anchor.
Shape: 18th in blocks, 31st in power-play points. A middle club in both halves of a category league; the edge here is player-by-player, not roster-wide.
Colton Parayko is the widest gap: desk 95, market 198. 103 slots in your favour. Logan Mailloux runs the other way, 528 here against 240. You pay 288 slots over. 2 names carry a 20-slot edge.
Three players hold 44.9% of the club's 89 power-play points. That is an open power play. The fourth and fifth names are live.
25 off-nights of 84, 29th in the league. 12 back-to-backs, 15th-fewest. Hold the last bench spot for somebody else.
Joel Hofer started 43 at 2.61 and 0.909. Tandem volume caps the ceiling whatever the rates say.
1 in, 1 out on the tracked ledger, headlined by Mason McTavish. Average pool age 27.0. 2 trending up, 7 down. Next in line: Jimmy Snuggerud.
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.
