The NHL might be in its dead period for news, but there's still plenty of updates to the Roto Rankings. For starters, significant players that were injured during the regular season and playoffs have been added back to the rankings. As well, Yahoo rankings are now available with mock drafts, so we've updated the rankings to reflect potential draft position.
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%. Please note that starting next month, some of the peripheral (non-scoring) categories will be changing. These changes will be announced during the next rankings update on September 15.
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.
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.
