Landon Hafele

September 2026. Landon Hafele is a fast, energetic center the Winnipeg Jets selected 167th overall, an Alaska native and two-time U.S. National Team Development Program alumnus. He spent 2025-26 with the Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League, posting 15 goals and 42 points in 52 games and earning a Chipotle All-American Game nod. Pace is the whole game. His feet never stop, he closes gaps with rapid crossovers, drives play north, and finishes hits and disrupts breakouts with his speed, the profile of a high-energy, north-south forward rather than a primary offensive creator. The Jets described him plainly as a good depth pick, and his junior scoring rate is modest for the level, so the offensive projection is the question. He heads to Arizona State of the NCAA for 2026-27. For fantasy he is a deep-league monitor, an energy-line projection whose ceiling hinges on the skill catching up to the motor against college competition, so hold off and watch whether his scoring climbs at Arizona State. Andrew Epps
