2023-07-15
The draft and July 1 free agency have come and gone. Even though offseason transactions aren't all complete, player values for 2023-24 are starting to take shape. Many of this month's adjustments – but not all – are related to increases and decreases in value related to player movement.

Now that he has been officially drafted, Connor Bedard also makes his debut in the Top 100. Ranking a player that has zero games of NHL experience is a crapshoot, but we've done our best to place him in a spot where he projects to be in his rookie season while considering where he might be drafted in single-season leagues.
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%. They are different from keeper rankings in that they don't extend beyond the current season. These rankings could even be used to determine relative trade value between two or more players listed.
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.
