ANNOUNCEMENT: Rotoworld/NBC EDGE no longer provides an NHL player news feed. DobberHockey now has this! Check it out here and be sure to bookmark it!

If you are new to these rankings – keep in mind that these are for strictly points (goals, assists) dynasty leagues. It factors in wait times and likelihood for prospects, immediate payoff (for this season), their three-year expected peak (3YP), the offense potential of the team around them, injury risk and more. Also note that players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and it’s not worth arguing about.
