FANTASY KEEPER / DYNASTY RANKINGS
NOTES: This list of players and prospects who are 25 years old or younger should be used to prioritize players for fantasy roster decisions and drafts in long-term leagues. Value has been quantified based on factors including but not limited to age, draft position and year, team security, projected long-term lineup placement and more. This list is a collaborative effort by Pete Jensen and Anna Dua.
Some valuable NHL players who are 26 years old or older, most notably Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers (universal No. 1 fantasy player), should also be prioritized in keeper and dynasty leagues but have been excluded from this list. Some players who have not yet signed their entry-level contracts (e.g. Will Smith of San Jose Sharks, Matvei Michkov of Philadelphia Flyers) have been excluded from this list for now but should still be considered in long-term leagues because of their high fantasy upside once they eventually join their NHL teams.
