Top 100 Roto Rankings: February 2022
Ian Gooding
2022-02-15
Because COVID protocol lists are shrinking (finally!), there are more players being squeezed out of the Top 100 Roto Rankings than are being added. Some tough calls to make, but thank you to a few Twitter followers with the suggestions.
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%. These rankings are intended for 2021-22 single-season leagues and are different from keeper rankings.
Are there any players that you believe are ranked too high or too low? Did we miss anyone in the top 100, or is there a player there that probably shouldn't be? Let us know in the comments below, and we will consider your feedback when compiling next month's rankings.
Note: After I finalized the rankings, news broke that Jack Eichel would make his Vegas debut on Wednesday. He will most certainly be included in next month's rankings.
