The 4 Nations break is the perfect time to take stock on the Top 100 Roto Rankings. That being said, there aren't significant changes to the rankings except at the top and at the bottom.
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.
