Top 300 Keeper League Skaters – July 2016

Dobber

2016-07-03

Top 300 Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Players – July edition. Where does Auston Matthews rank? How far did Hall topple?

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 the 2016 draftees make their debut, free agents get adjusted for their new role/team and I drilled down on the lesser defensemen and made some adjustments (and you'll get to see those in Tuesday's Top 100 Defensemen – hopefully improved on the bottom half there).

Nice list would be very nice to have age of player in that list! Thx

Hopefully Matthews is a top 5 on this list within 3-5 years!

Quick question, you now have Keller ranked above Tkachuk & Nylander on this list, which contradicts the rankings in the prospect report. Does this mean you’d now chose Keller before those 2? I have my prospect draft beginning today (picking 6th overall) and need some insight; thx!

  I would prefer Keller, but tomato/tomatto really

Where is Troy Brouwer?

  Whoops – he’s at 337. Looks like I messed up a variable there. He should be around 260th

Krejci is the one player who stands out to me, far too low on the list

Where will be Jesper Fast in 2-3 years

  A checking line – If I had to bet, that’s where my money goes.
