Unveiled: The Surprising NHL Forward Rankings for 2025-26 That Could Shake Up the Entire League

There are still some question marks, though.

Nichushkin’s availability has been a problem — he hasn’t hit 55 games played in three consecutive years and abruptly left the team in both the 2023 and 2024 playoffs. Necas can be a streaky player and has historically underperformed in the playoffs (35 points in 66 career games). We know Landeskog will be a difference-maker, but he turns 33 in November and hasn’t played a regular-season game since 2021-22 — will he still be a top-line caliber driver?

Colorado’s bottom six should be respectable once O’Connor returns, but it isn’t as deep as some of the other teams ahead of them.
