Top 300 Keeper League Skaters – May 2018

Dobber

2018-05-04

 

Here are the Top 300 players to own in your points-only keeper league – May edition.

 

April, May and June are my "fun months". These are when I stop including this season's immediate payback, and look ahead to next year and onward. But I do it without crunching the numbers. My Fantasy Guide is out on August 1 (pre-order it now!) and so the numbers, free agency, depth charts all get factored into July and August rankings. Until then, I go through player by player and focus more on their 3YP, upside, and then ballpark next season's points. Fun, right?

These are for points-only leagues, I look no further than three years ahead, players within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and at that point become a matter of personal bias and/or team needs.

    I’d have Taylor Hall in the 5 spot, just after Crosby.

      If he didn’t get hurt so often, I would probably agree with you

    Why the big jump for Victor Rask? BTW: Hall only missed six games this season and played all 82 games two seasons ago. Sam Bennett at 165. I threw in the towel on him and cut him from my keeper team. I think he may be more like Beau Bennett. I hope I didn’t give up on him prematurely and he ends up having that 4th year break out season in 2018/19.

      You’re probably right about Sam, I haven’t given up on him completely though – needs to get past that fourth year. As I said, this is without deep analysis, just breezing through each player and tweaking. I had Rask too low in one area and I adjusted.
      Hall is an injury risk and it’s held him to 70 points or less often – and will continue to do so, with occasional blips of health that lead to big years. Malkin Jr.
