Drew Schock

September 2026 – Schock’s 10 points in 38 games aren’t eye-catching, but as the season progressed, he got bigger and bigger roles, and by the end had played himself into a good shot at starting as the top-pair defenseman next season. Schock is one of the Ducks’ best breakout potential players compared to where his stock is now. Only 7% rostered on Fantrax, if you have free slots and are looking to use them on longer-term bets, Schock deserves some consideration. Markus Kalmar

July 2025 – Schock is an excellent skater with strong puck-moving skills and constant activation. He is great in transition, drawing pressure and delivering breakout passes. He is often as involved in offense as the top forwards, regularly jumping into plays as the trailer or even into the slot. Schock shows flashes of defensive potential, tracking pucks, occasional physical edge, but he remains raw. He can be too passive, struggles to leverage his skating in defense, and often makes rushed decisions under pressure. Schock is a long-term project with a strong foundation. To reach the NHL, he will need to refine his game, improve his offensive game, and better leverage his skating into defense. Markus R
