Top 300 Keeper League Players – January 2017 Edition

Dobber

2017-01-03

McDavid and Crosby continue to pull away from the pack, Kucherov creeping upward, Malkin returns to the Top 10…

 

These rankings are for points-only keeper leagues that don't count positions. If your league is different you can still use this list, but simply take that into consideration. It gives you an idea of their immediate and long-term production. But as always, a player's value in trade talks depends on your immediate needs. If you're gunning for first place you have less interest in Steven Stamkos than you would be if you were rebuilding for the future. If you're going for it here and now, then you'd value Sam Gagner's points a lot more than a team in the basement looking ahead to next year (when is current production rate is not as certain to continue). 

 

Check in tomorrow for the Top 100 defensemen.

 

Coming January 13th – my 10th annual Midseason Fantasy Guide. Pre-order it now right here!

    Ristolainen gets no respect at 145….He’s 22 years old, quarterbacks an up-and-coming PP, solid in SOG and hits…He’s my locked-in keeper D for years to come.

      You truly believe that’s no respect? Ranked 20th among D? Let me ask you something – will he ever get 65 points? So, in a points-only league where positions don’t matter, can a defenseman who will never get 65 points compete with 200 forwards who possibly could?

      • jerrodedson99 2017-01-03 at 17:29

        I think approaching 65pts isn’t impossible in the near future. Especially once Eichel and Reinhart mature. In 2-3 years he could be in the discussion for top-five D-men. He’s already got 25pts in 36 games this year, which, if he continues, will put him in the 50pt range already. 65 ain’t that far off. (Positions count in my pool so I’m coming in from that perspective.)

        • jerrodedson99 2017-01-03 at 17:34

          Also, in a non-position pool, he still gets a ton of shots, PP, and hits; he’s the complete package. So, in my mind, he should be placed among (and above many) of the 200 other players. But in a pts only pool I see your point.

          • Dobber 2017-01-03 at 17:47

            I think you might be right, I adjusted his upside a little and adjusted his 3YP some more. But it only moves him to 130 and maybe three more spots on the D list. Basically because Buffalo sucks this year, the team isn’t scoring, and next year may be more of the same. So he won’t bear fruit for two years. If they were doing it now, then he’d be Top 10 D. But they’aren’t.

            Good point. Thanks for chatting. I love your site.

    You think Kuznetsov will really live up to what he did last year? My keeper league only has 12 teams with 5 keeper slots and I am really torn about what to do with Kuznetsov. The guys on my roster that I am considering are:

    Benn
    Seguin
    Scheifele
    Voracek
    Barkov

    Kuznetsov
    Ehlers

    So I’m in a 16 team league with 6 keepers each, who would you keep of the following?

    Koivu
    Draisaitl
    Mantha
    Tarasenko
    Forsberg
    Hornqvist
    Werenski
    Ekman-Larsson
    Kuznetsov
    O’Reilly
    Subban
    Laine

    Allen
    Vasilevskiy

    I’m looking to deal for some picks for next year.

    • Dobber 2017-01-14 at 14:07

      Draisaitl, Tarasenko, Werenski, OEL, Kuznetsov, Laine.

      Use Subban and Vas as a package to acquire a proven goalie. Use Forsberg and Allen to land draft picks
