Fantasy hockey top 200 player rankings
Most valuable overall options for standard leagues; new podcast episodes
© Bill Smith/NHLI
Standard fantasy categories include goals, assists, power-play points, shots on goal and hits for skaters and wins, goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts for goalies; these rankings are transitioning away from plus/minus as a category and will begin to include blocked shots. Value has been quantified based on factors including but not limited to past production in the regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs, line combinations, defense pairs, power-play usage, team goalie situations, anticipated start volume, projected goal support (or lack thereof), injury history or concern, age, contract status and overall upside for the rest of the 2024-25 season.
