2011-12 Top Overall 175 Fantasy Rankings
NHL.com fantasy hockey experts provide fans with the top 175 overall player rankings.
Below is a list of NHL.com's top 175 overall fantasy player rankings, as determined by our three fantasy experts: Matt Cubeta, Sergei Feldman and Chris Foster. In addition to their composite ranking -- a combined average rank from each expert (listed on the left side) -- you'll also be able to tell where each expert ranked players individually. While we take into account previous statistics, injuries and much more, these rankings are based on how we project players to perform this coming season.

Rankings are based on a standard fantasy hockey league that includes a 6x4 scoring system: goals, assists, plus-minus, power-play points, shots on goal, penalty minutes, goalie wins, goals against average, save percentage and shutouts.

Whether you're hunting for goal scorers, playmakers, power-play specialists, PIMs eaters or stud goaltenders, our top 175 rankings should have you covered for your fantasy hockey draft.


NR signifies players that were not ranked among our individual top-175.
