Fantasy Hockey Forecast: Shocking Breakouts and Unexpected Heroes of the 2025-26 NHL Season

Still, we’re witnessing something of a golden age for offensive defensemen. Cale Makar is one of the best blueliners to ever play in terms of scoring production, so although he hasn’t hit the 100-point mark in the past, no one would be shocked if he reached that mark in his upcoming age-27 season.
He’s not the only one who has a shot of reaching that milestone, though. If Quinn Hughes can stay healthy, he’s also a serious candidate to do it.
Having Hughes and Makar both achieve that feat is by far the most likely path to getting two 100-point defensemen in the same campaign — although, when talking about a scenario as extreme as this, the word “likely” is being used generously — but there are a few other defensemen who have a chance of picking up the slack with a career year if one of the two falls short.
