Kodo HockeyPosition Analysis · 2026-27
Which position covers each fantasy category, per-game category averages by position, and where draft value concentrates. Projected regulars (50+ GP).
Value concentration scored for Points league — G=3, A=2, PPP=1, SOG=0.4, HIT/BLK=0.3, PIM=0.3.
A man counts at every slot his league would start him in, so a C/LW clearing the bar is one more centre and one more left wing.
Defence omitted — that position does not produce faceoff wins in any meaningful quantity, so a grid of it would be noise.
Each cell counts the players who clear both bars — down the side and across the top — and opens the list of exactly those men. The top-right corner is what you have to draft early; five or fewer is highlighted. See the players →
