Outlook Martin Necas
Necas primed for another 100-point campaign in Colorado's high-powered attack
Martin Necas flourished after arriving in Colorado, tapping into his physical prime at age 27 with an explosive 102-point breakout (38 goals, 64 assists) and an eye-popping +51 rating in 86 games. Logging over 20 minutes a night, Necas proved his dynamism translates seamlessly to the Avalanche’s high-paced offensive system, operating as a top-line engine with heavy all-situations responsibility.
Our projections expect virtually no drop-off in scoring efficiency, forecasting 100 points (38 goals, 62 assists), 24 power-play points, and 206 shots on goal across 78 contests. While sustaining a +50 or better plus-minus carries natural regression risk, his shot generation and central role in Colorado’s attack provide an elite offensive floor.
Carrying an ADP near pick 25, Necas is being drafted right at the turn of the second and third rounds. Our data firmly supports that valuation, cementing him as a top-tier fantasy forward capable of matching any elite center in scoring punch, playmaking upside, and steady category contributions.

Outlook Matthew Schaefer
Matthew Schaefer primed for dynamic sophomore campaign as an elite fantasy blueliner
Following a historic rookie campaign where he notched 23 goals, 36 assists, and 221 shots across 82 games, Matthew Schaefer enters his sophomore year with sky-high expectations. At just 19 years old, the young defenseman has already established himself as a focal point of the Islanders' attack and transition game.
Our season projections expect Schaefer to maintain elite production, slating him for 59 points, 222 shots on goal, 18 power-play points, and 111 blocked shots. His balanced profile ensures high fantasy value across multiple categories, providing high-volume shooting and strong peripheral stats to complement his scoring touch.
With an ADP near pick 31, Schaefer commands early third-round consideration as a plug-and-play D1 anchor. Given his heavy ice time and central power-play role, his high baseline and youth-driven growth ceiling make him well worth the aggressive draft investment.
