Another NHL season will kickoff with North America opening night starting at 4:30 p.m. ET Tuesday and fantasy hockey managers everywhere are excitedly eager to draft one or more two-way defensemen from among those available for selection in Tuesday’s draft lottery. Cale Makar of the Avalanche will likely go first in Fantasy drafts for 2020 Calder Trophy Winner Cale Makar was another standout performer during Colorado’s season and earned 90 points (21 goals, 69 assists). Additionally he posted an incredible plus-15 rating while only playing 77 games due to injuries. Makar’s Fantasy hockey value can only be rivaled by Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes, who registered an impressive 92 points (17 goals, 75 assists) over an 82-game campaign for Vancouver. Both Makar and Hughes are at their peak performance now; managers would do well to include either in their lineup. Should You Select One Early in a Fantasy Hockey Draft?

Now SportsLine’s model has taken aim at the 2024-25 NHL season and identified top sleepers, breakout players and busts based on its player ranking model – from sleepers, breakout stars and busts all the way down. Take a look here: Top 2024-25 Fantasy Hockey PicksAmong its sleeper picks is Bruins forward Brad Marchand who had an underwhelming 2023-24 campaign, scoring just 67 points (29 goals + 38 assists + 2 plus-2s in 82 games), but according to its projection he should experience an upturn this time round.
Marchand revealed during last year’s playoff run that he played through an injured elbow tendon for most of it and has received surgery this off-season to repair it. David Pastrnak remains projected as an elite-line winger and could potentially play alongside new Bruins acquisition Elias Lindholm and power forward David Pastrnak, among other potential combinations. Marchand has an ADP well over 50, yet our model indicates he should go much earlier in fantasy hockey drafts. Additionally, Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini stands out amongst Fantasy hockey breakout players this season. San Jose took home first overall at the 2024 NHL Draft by selecting Hobey Baker Award-winner David Celebrini as its No.1 overall selection and expects him to play an integral part of their massive rebuild effort. Celebrini registered 64 points (32 goals and 32 assists) while posting a plus-25 rating in 38 games played for Boston University during last season. He contributed eight points (four goals, four assists) in five games as a member of Canada’s U20 team at the 2024 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship. Celebrini may not yet have played in an NHL regular season game yet, but his impressive preseason play indicates he will become an invaluable asset to Fantasy hockey managers this season.
