A little later than normal, we have updated Roto Rankings for January.

The stat categories for the Roto Rankings are as follows: Goals, Assists, Special Teams Points, Shots on Goal, Hits, and Blocked Shots. These rankings 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.

For injuries, players that are on LTIR or are on extended IR absences will be moved out of the rankings into the Injured section. Players that are expected to return soon will be moved down the rankings accordingly.

For goalie rankings, please check out the Top 100 Keeper League Goaltender rankings for relative goalie values.

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.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins

2025-01-17

Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
