Outlook Alexander Wennberg
Alexander Wennberg offers steady floor and playmaking depth in San Jose
Wennberg put together a career year in 2025 for the Sharks, producing 18 goals, 37 assists, and 55 points across a full 82 games. Averaging nearly 20 minutes of ice time per night, the veteran center handled heavy defensive assignments while chipping in an exceptional 93 blocked shots.
Our projections align with that baseline, forecasting another 55-point campaign (18 goals, 37 assists) across 80 games, accompanied by 16 power-play points and 93 blocks. However, his light shot generation—under 100 shots on goal annually—severely limits his goal ceiling and scoring explosion.
Carrying an ADP hovering near 200, Wennberg profiles as an inexpensive depth asset rather than a priority target. He provides reliable games-played volume and shot blocks in deep leagues, but shallow-league managers can treat him primarily as a streaming option.

Outlook Zach Benson
Zach Benson brings high-upside playmaking to Buffalo's top-nine after breakout campaign
At just 21 years old, Zach Benson enters the 2026-27 season coming off a significant leap forward. In 2025, the young winger set career marks with 14 goals, 30 assists, and an impressive +28 rating across 75 games, earning a massive contract extension and emerging as a pivotal piece of Buffalo's offensive future.
Our projection anticipates a similar scoring pace, forecasting 43 points (13 goals, 30 assists), 116 shots on goal, and 7 power-play points in 65 games. Benson's moderate shot generation caps his goal ceiling, but his exceptional vision and two-way instincts provide a reliable floor in plus-minus and assist categories.
Carrying an ADP of 227.20, Benson is an attractive late-round target whose fantasy ownership has steadily climbed toward 39%. While listed third on the depth chart, any elevation into Buffalo's top six or expanded power-play time would allow him to vastly outperform his draft-day cost as a high-upside bench stash.
