*Sign up for the Apples & Ginos Patron League HERE

The 2026-27 Projections Series continues with four more teams: the New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators.

Nate and Blake break down every fantasy-relevant player across all four rosters, including projected lines, power-play deployment, coaching impacts, offseason changes and the biggest differences in their projections.

Can Jack Hughes put together a monster fantasy season? How high should we be drafting Matthew Schaefer? Is this finally the year Alexis Lafrenière takes another step? And what does Ottawa look like without Brady Tkachuk?

Plus, we dig into Nico Hischier, Timo Meier, Anthony Mantha, Mathew Barzal, Calum Ritchie, Adam Fox, Gabe Perreault, Dylan Cozens, Jake Sanderson, William Eklund and plenty more.

As always, Nate and Blake finish each team by revealing their top three fantasy targets heading into 2026-27 draft season.

Four teams. A lot of new opportunity. And plenty of players we think the fantasy market may be getting wrong. Let's get to BIZ!
