Every Utah 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.

Utah are 3rd in hits
Six categories, summed across every Utah 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 the peripheral columns, not the scoring ones.

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 left 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.
Crease 1
Utah against the other 31
Draftable stock
5 Utah skaters inside the desk's top 100 — 5th 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
55.8% held by the top three — 14th-most concentrated
Above the league median of 55.2%. The names outside the top three are even-strength assets.
Vejmelka is a workhorse
Last season's starts, split between the goaltenders the pool ranks here. The calendar puts 10 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. Vejmelka sits at 100.0%.

Power-play points are normally split in Utah
- 1 Clayton Keller RW 27 PPP · 19.6% · 30.7% of his own points
- 2 Mikhail Sergachev D 26 PPP · 18.8% · 44.1% of his own points
- 3 Dylan Guenther RW 24 PPP · 17.4% · 32.9% of his own points
55.8% is a league-typical split: a first unit that takes most of it, a second unit that is not decorative.
3 in, 1 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.
Arrivals
- Vincent Trocheck crowded center group; special-teams access uncertain
- Anders Lee avoid in standard leagues; ceiling capped
- Sebastian Cossa AHL standout; tandem path with Vejmelka; dynasty stash
Departures
- JJ Peterka top line/PP with Pastrnak; 70-point potential
The Utah 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 2026-10-01. Mint tiles help you; coral tiles cost you.
What this roster already did
Logan Cooley put up 4-1-5 with 5 shots on 2025-11-24 for UTA, worth 9.6 ESPN points. It is the 22nd-biggest single game in the desk's ten-season file.
MacKenzie Weegar owns the 8th-best D season in the ten-year file: 2023-24, 82 games, 20-32-52, 2.68 ESPN points per game.
4 Utah names to keep on the shelf

Reading the Utah board
1 inside the desk top 50, 5 inside the top 100. MacKenzie Weegar is the ceiling at 2.19, 46th overall. Dylan Guenther (2.12) sits 0.07 back. A shared top, not an anchor.
Shape: 3rd in hits, 20th in blocks. The value is in the peripheral columns, not the scoring ones.
Mikhail Sergachev is the widest gap: desk 52, market 123. 71 slots in your favour. Lawson Crouse runs the other way, 240 here against 205. You pay 35 slots over. 3 names carry a 20-slot edge.
Three players hold 55.8% of the club's 138 power-play points. A league-typical split, which makes the third name the underpriced one.
38 off-nights of 84, 3rd in the league. 10 back-to-backs, 4th-fewest. Stream from here.
Karel Vejmelka started 63 at 2.75 and 0.896. Workhorse volume, and volume is most of what a fantasy goalie is.
3 in, 1 out on the tracked ledger, headlined by Vincent Trocheck. Average pool age 28.6. 3 trending up, 3 down. Next in line: Sebastian Cossa.
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.
