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

This could be the year that Anaheim’s young forwards take a massive step forward.

The Ducks’ young guns went on a tear down the stretch last year — Carlsson and McTavish were borderline point-per-game producers after the 4 Nations break and Gauthier was top-10 among all NHL players for five-on-five points in the final 27 games — and they should benefit enormously from the coaching change, as Greg Cronin’s ultra-demanding defensive style stifled the group’s offensive freedom and creativity.

Kreider’s elite net-front skill (along with the coaching change) should boost Anaheim’s 32nd-ranked power play. A Vatrano-Strome-Killorn trio is a surprisingly solid third line, too.
