The finish line is here. Nate and Blake wrap up the annual Apples & Ginos projections series with the final four teams: the Vancouver Canucks, Vegas Golden Knights, Washington Capitals and Winnipeg Jets.

They break down every fantasy-relevant player on each roster, including projected lines, power-play deployment, coaching changes, offseason additions and departures, projection disagreements and their favourite draft targets.

Can Manny Malhotra get Elias Pettersson and Vancouver back on track? Is Zeev Buium ready to take over PP1? What changes under Ryan Craig in Vegas, and how high can Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner and Shea Theodore climb? Washington suddenly has one of the deepest forward groups in hockey — but who actually gets the premium deployment? And in Winnipeg, are Cole Perfetti and Gabriel Vilardi being overlooked behind the established stars?

Eight episodes. All 32 NHL teams. The projections are officially complete.

Next stop: draft season. Let's get to BIZ!
