Top 300 Keeper League Skaters – January 2022

Dobber

2022-01-05

Here are the Top 300 skaters to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – January edition!

As always, players ranked between +/-5.0 rating points should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of personal bias or team needs.

Announcement: The 14th annual Midseason Fantasy Hockey Guide will be available for download on January 14. Click here to pre-order!

Click on any player to be taken to his customized fantasy hockey profile – with his advanced stats, recommendations (buy or sell), game logs, quarterly summaries and more.

Note: Kyle Okposo is under “new” because I actually removed him in the summer. He had lost all fantasy relevance. But now he has enough production to make a bit of a comeback (albeit not enough to crack the Top 300)
