July Top 100 Roto Rankings

Welcome back to the Top 100 Roto.
This edition follows up the aftermath of free agency.
Lingering injuries also hit the rankings, with Shea Weber and Ryan Kesler being the two latest victims. Beyond health, the jury is out to see how Roto-effective they will actually be upon their respective returns.
You may also notice that there are no new draftees who made the cut. There is no denying that Rasmus Dahlin, Andrei Svechnikov, Brady Tkachuk, Filip Zadina and co. will eventually make the list. However, the Top 100 Roto serves as a tool to identify category driven players who will help you win next season, not two or three seasons down the road. Svechnikov &Tkachuk’s grit lends well to extended categories, so they will likely make the list sooner than the others, depending on how many games they play this season.
Lastly, there was a glaring oversight when running my numbers – Mark Scheifele was somehow omitted. He immediately jumps into the top 30 Roto players. If you have any suggestions to make on who should make the list, or get cut from the list, please feel free to do so in the comments!
