Top 300 Keeper League Skaters – April 2020

Dobber

2020-04-02

Here are the top skaters to own in your points-only keeper leagues – April edition!

Not much has changed, considering we only had about five games to go on last month. And I played this (optimistically, until I hear otherwise) as if a few regular season games will be played in August. That means some injured players who were ‘done for the season’ are no longer ‘done for the season’. So they have some immediate value again, over and above their longer-term value.

As always, players within +/- 5.0 rating points should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team needs or personal bias. Click on any player name to be taken to his player profile (and since you’re probably bored at home these days, why not take a moment to check these profiles out if you haven’t yet done so – you’ll find they are better than your usual go-to player profile analysis page)
