For the September edition of the Roto Rankings, we are pleased that Bangers Fantasy Hockey has returned with its pre-draft rankings for a second season! As a result, you will notice some major adjustments to our rankings from last month.

Since Bangers Fantasy Hockey provides its rankings with or without penalty minutes, we have opted for the non-PIM version of its rankings. That means the stat categories for the Roto Rankings are now 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 more expanded rankings that include the top 350 players, projections in these categories, and a bangers score, go to the Bangers Fantasy Hockey website. Once you become a subscriber, you will be able to download their rankings for free.

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

But first, OUT NOW and UPDATED today: The 20th edition – Dobber’s Fantasy Hockey Guide! Buy it on its own here, or package it with the Prospects Report here.

I am surprised to see Dylan Guenther ahead of guys like Connor, Nylander, Robertsom and Keller. Most of those guys are projected to get more goals, assists and PPPts as well taking more shots than Guenther. Hits and Blocks shouldn’t be weighted that high IMO if the roto system is trying to emulate real life value. In our rotisserie league we have Hits & Blocks weighted as a half category to adjust for real life…
