WAY Too Early Mock Draft | Building 12 Teams (Rounds 1–4)

It’s never too early… right?

In this episode of Apples & Ginos, Blake and Nate dive into a WAY too early fantasy hockey mock draft for the 2026-27 season, building out 12 different teams through the first 4 rounds.

We go pick-by-pick breaking down:

• Early first-round strategy
• Surprising picks and potential reaches
• How roster builds take shape right out of the gate
• Players already rising (or falling) for next season

Some of these teams look elite… others? Questionable. Who built the best team??

If you're already thinking ahead to next year, this is where the edge starts.
