Over on Reddit’s r/NHLHUT, the community reaction has been loud and passionate. While many celebrate the new Fantasy drop, some aren’t thrilled about the direction of the ‘Team of the Season’ content.
“Stanley Cup Playoffs fantasy cards, tho… I know everyone’s pissed about tots honorable mentions but we got new fantasy cards at least,” wrote a user.
Meanwhile, another pointed out the odd timing of certain inclusions, joking, “They gave Bjorkstrand a card. He’s listed as week-to-week [laughing emoji].”
Others are excited about the Fantasy potential—a user wrote, “I got BND PLD and will probably build Jake Neighbours on the last day. I think FH cards for playoffs are much more exciting than TOTS cards that won’t get upgraded for months.”

As the NHL 25 HUT landscape evolves, EA's willingness to experiment with playoff-based upgrades and dynamic Fantasy content has been a hit for many—even if it comes at the cost of more traditional seasonal drops. With big names like Patrick Kane getting the spotlight and young talent like Logan Stankoven earning high OVR cards, fans have plenty to chase this week.
