Here are the Top 100 Rotisserie players to own in fantasy hockey (February)…
The Top 100 Roto brings you the best value based rankings in the business. I am happy to get the opportunity to help out Austin in putting this together. As you already know if you've been following this season, the Roto uses Fantasy Hockey Geek's proprietary formula for evaluating different categories against each other and the Top 100 Roto's category scores and multi-year averages allow for easy and informed evaluation. If your league does not count one of the categories listed here, just remove it from the calculations since all the category scores add up to the overall score.
Rise/Fall
Max Pacioretty has been a steady riser on this list and has almost cracked the top 20. He is shooting a sustainable percentage and compared to last year, he's been shooting at a higher rate. Last season he averaged 3.6 shots on goal per game and this year he's up to 3.78. Patches has totaled 112 goals since the scary hit that ended his 2011 campaign. That puts him at a 37 goal per 82 game pace. He's an elite goal scorer and will continue to rise.
Top 100 Newcomers
David Perron makes his first appearance on the Roto this week. This proves what everyone already knows: being traded to the Penguins top line will give you a huge boost in fantasy value. Thomas Plekanec also makes an appearance. He's been putting up consistent points for Montreal on a young, talented line with Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher.
