In this episode of On Thin Ice, we power rank the best NHL player from every team heading into the 2025–26 season — from Connor McDavid at #1 to Joey Daccord at #32. We debate who should be at the top, who’s underrated, and whether young stars like Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov are too low on the list.
Should Auston Matthews be ranked ahead of Nathan MacKinnon? Is Quinn Hughes a top 10 NHL player? We break it all down, including goalie rankings, team MVP debates, and biggest snubs.
