Nick Alberga’s fantasy hockey top 250 player rankings for 2023-24
Credit: Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Sports
My top-250 fantasy hockey rankings are curated based on past production, projection, age, and potential. The formula is weighted on goals, assists, plus/minus, power-play points, shots on goal and penalty minutes for skaters and wins, goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts for goaltenders.
Additionally, a variety of factors such as line deployment and contractual status, among other things, are taken into heavy consideration when compiling this list.
Furthermore, these rankings are crafted specifically for single-season, non-keeper league formats.
