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

Will the post-Nikolaj Ehlers Jets have enough top-six quality offensive drivers beyond their dynamic top-line?
The Connor, Scheifele, Vilardi trio decisively won its first-line matchups and led the NHL’s best power play last year. They’ll do a lot of heavy lifting offensively again, but behind them, the second line — even when Perfetti returns from injury — looks vulnerable.
Toews’ NHL return to his hometown Jets is a wonderful story, but at 37, and having not played in two full years, it’s highly unlikely that he can perform like a legitimate 2C. Perfetti would ideally take another step after a strong 50-point season, but his week-to-week injury is going to put him behind the eight ball.
