The Top 300 players to own in a points-only fantasy hockey league. July edition

For this month's update, all NHL team movement and newly-drafted players have been added and adjusted

NOTE: These rankings only capture keeper leagues that are points-only, do not factor positions. They also give some value bonus (very small) to teams who have a bright future and a good chance of becoming/maintaining a big powerhouse in terms of lots of fantasy-relevant players.

Because there are so many different league types, one cannot satisfy them all with a single list. Factors taken into account: predicted points for the current season; age; upside; proven/unproven; team bonus (if the team is on the rise or consistently scoring a lot); proneness to injury; and the "name" factor (if it's a big name, he gets a few extra bonus due to the trade value boost).

Let's not nitpick over: 1) Player A being ranked 10 spots above Player B when their "rating" is only 6.5 apart. Two players within 10 rating points are pretty much a wash and an argument can be made for either. 2) A defenseman (for example) who is great for penalty minutes and points being ranked so low (pay attention angry Zdeno Chara owners!). That is valuable in your league, but not for the league I described above.
