Top 300 Keeper League Skaters – April 2016

2016-04-01

Top 300 Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Players – April edition. Kane remains on top, but Crosby/Benn closing gap quickly.

In your points-only keeper leagues, here are the top 300 players to own. Remember, positions don't matter (so a defenseman may be undervalued here vs. in your league). Other factors – potential points longterm, their likely 3YP, their current pace, proneness to injury, the strength of their team and offensive coaching system, distance from career peak age.

In this edition, I did a focus on the prospects. A few were added, a handful adjusted. Those are the players with the biggest movement more or less. Don't forget to check out the Top 100 Defensemen, which will be out Saturday, April 2.
