Top 300 Keeper League Players – December 2016

Dobber

2016-12-01

Here is the December edition of the monthly keeper league skater rankings. Scheifele, Ehlers surge while injuries take a toll on others

 

These are for points-only keeper leagues where positions do not matter (explaining why defensemen are somewhat lower). Factors into account the current season's pace, the next three seasons projection, the team around him, his proneness to injury and of course his overall upside. There is also a small bonus for what I deem 'star players', because in trade talks people tend to have more of a death grip on those guys…

 

Check back tomorrow for the Top 100 keeper league defensemen

    What a weird picture.

    That’s the two best hockey players in the entire world battling for the puck, and the people in the front rows seem to be focused on other things.

      you ever take the time to look at how many people are on their phones at games it will make you sick to your stomach.

    Huge drop off for Bobby Ryan, he was probably overrated before. I’ve been debating dropping him. Is he on the way out for fantasy relevance?

    • Chris Liggio 2016-12-09 at 17:52

      yes 29 and too slow for today’s NHL

    If this a “Points“ only keeper league list Ovechkin should not be ahead of some of the players he is ahead of. Your not weighting in goals but yet Ovechkin is 6th on this list.

      Only about 5 players in the league can get 120 points. Ovechkin is one of them.

      Further to this – I just traded Ovechkin in my keeper league. I got Taylor Hall, Justin Schultz and 12 (!!!) draft picks for him. Poolies really value what he is capable of, not just what he’s been doing.

    Too low for Stamkos

    • Dobber 2016-12-20 at 08:12

      He was propped up by St. Louis. And this year, it was looking like he was regaining his stature (thanks to being propped up by Kucherov) when he was injured. Again. And that injury seals it – he’s a Band-Aid Boy and shouldn’t be counted on for more than 70 games next season (until he shows different).
