Top-200 Cap League Skater Rankings – November 2023

Alexander MacLean

2023-11-25

It's early in the year, and this list doesn't greatly overreact to the small sample size of the early part of the season. If someone like Travis Sanheim or Mason McTavish keep up their prolific scoring paces into the new year, then that's where we really start to see the rankings move. In the meantime, appreciate that Quinn Hughes has jumped into the top-five, that Connor Bedard has jumped into the top-15, and that Adam Fantilli stuck in the NHL and has cracked the top-50 as a result. Otherwise, feel free to jeer at me and let me know about why your favourite player should be higher.  

Standard pre-rankings note:

The assumed league setup is for points-only leagues, and I have made an effort to balance it for a range of league and roster sizes. Cap hit is used for the player cost, so if your league uses salary or AAV, please account for that, as it can greatly change the value of some players, especially on their ELCs. The rankings are set up so as to provide the most value in the current season, while providing some value in future years, based on modeling for predicted salary increases and production trends.

If you note a mistake, or have any further questions about the ranking system, please let me know. You can find me on Twitter here @alexdmaclean.

Comments help with optimizing the values, because they're not perfect and they never will be.

📢 advertisement:

We're sticking with the +/- 5.0 rating that Dobber uses on all of his rating schemes as the range for approximately equivalent value. The skater and goalie rankings are synched so that the value of a skater against a goalie can be compared, though the scale of the ratings has changed a little since the last update.
