Top 100 Roto Rankings – August 2019
Ian Gooding
2019-08-15
With the NHL on summer break, there hasn’t been much hockey news over the last month. However, we are still trying to fine-tune the Roto Rankings. Besides, at this time next month, many single-season drafts will already be in full swing.
We’ve added a date to the Comments column, so you can see how recently the changes have been made. You’ll even notice that there was a change at the top, which may reflect how many league drafts play out.
Keep in mind that these are single-season rankings for a head-to-head or rotisserie league using the following settings: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HIT, W, GAA, SV%. In other words, this list is focused on the 2019-20 season, but not beyond. This list could also be used by keeper owners with a “win now” mentality.
These rankings are a work in progress, so please feel free to leave feedback below. I will take comments into consideration for the following month’s rankings. I may also explain certain ranking decisions in upcoming Ramblings.
