Winnipeg are 11th in blocks
Six categories, summed across every Winnipeg 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.

Winnipeg against the other 31
Draftable stock
3 Winnipeg skaters inside the desk's top 100 — 21st 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
69.1% held by the top three — 2nd-most concentrated
Above the league median of 55.2%. The names outside the top three are even-strength assets.
Hellebuyck is a workhorse
Last season's starts, split between the goaltenders the pool ranks here. The calendar puts 9 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. Hellebuyck sits at 43.5%.

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 Winnipeg 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
Kyle Connor put up 3-1-4 with 3 shots on 2025-01-14 for WPG, worth 9.3 ESPN points. It is the 33rd-biggest single game in the desk's ten-season file.
Connor Hellebuyck owns the 2nd-best G season in the ten-year file: 2024-25, 63 games, 47 wins at 2.00, 4.33 ESPN points per game.

Reading the Winnipeg board
12 Winnipeg skaters clear the pool line, plus 3 goaltenders. Mark Scheifele sets the ceiling: 2.33 a night, 21st in the pool. Kyle Connor (2.29) sits 0.04 back. A shared top, not an anchor.
Shape: 11th in blocks, 30th in power-play points. A middle club in both halves of a category league; the edge here is player-by-player, not roster-wide.
Neal Pionk is the widest gap: desk 171, market 249. 78 slots in your favour. 2 names carry a 20-slot edge.
Three players hold 69.1% of the club's 94 power-play points. That is a closed first unit. Everyone below it is an even-strength asset until deployment says otherwise.
34 off-nights of 84, 10th in the league. 9 back-to-backs, 3rd-fewest. Stream from here.
Connor Hellebuyck started 57 at 2.86 and 0.895. Workhorse volume, and volume is most of what a fantasy goalie is.
1 in, 0 out on the tracked ledger, headlined by Stuart Skinner. Average pool age 29.6. 2 trending up, 4 down. Next in line: Brayden Yager.
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.
