2025 Fantasy Hockey Draft Tool – Customizable Fantasy Projections & Rankings

Welcome to the 2025 Fantasy Hockey Draft Projections Tool from 5V5 Hockey — the most advanced, interactive, and customizable draft kit on the market.

Whether you play in points leagues, categories leagues, or even hybrids, this tool gives you complete control to customize projections based on your league settings. It's built to help you dominate your fantasy draft — not just with rankings, but with dynamic, context-aware data.

Unlike static preseason lists from ESPN, Yahoo, or other sites, our tool updates daily leading up to the NHL season. You can adjust it to your league, track player picks live during the draft, and export your view to Excel for custom workflows.

What Makes This Fantasy Draft Kit Different?

• Customizable scoring for both points and categories leagues
• Live player tracking during your draft (star, draft, remove players)
• Value Above Replacement (VAR) as the primary stat to rank players by true fantasy value
• Dynamic columns with filter, drag-and-drop, and search options
• Excel export for offline or manual draft boards

This isn’t a basic cheat sheet — it’s a complete fantasy hockey draft war room, built for serious fantasy managers who want a competitive edge.

Custom Projections for Your League Type

Points Leagues

Enter your exact scoring format — including:

• Goals, assists
• Shots, hits, blocked shots
• Power play points, plus/minus
• Faceoffs won, PIMs

Your projections will update in real time to reflect how each player ranks based on your league’s point structure.

Categories Leagues

Select your active categories, and the tool will:

• Score players per category
• Weight rankings based on multi-cat value
• Optimize for roto or H2H scoring

This makes it easy to find category monsters, all-around contributors, or specialists for your draft plan.

What is VAR (Value Above Replacement)?

VAR stands for Value Above Replacement, and it is the default sorting method in this tool.

It tells you how much more valuable a player is than a waiver-wire level player at the same position — giving you a better way to measure positional scarcity and elite talent.

Example:

• A center with a VAR of 6.2 is worth 6.2 more points (or category-weighted value) than your average undrafted center
• This allows you to focus on value, not just raw points

VAR helps prevent you from overdrafting deep positions and lets you find breakout value where it matters most.
