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.

📢 advertisement:

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!

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins

2025-01-17

Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
