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.
Many elite NHL players who are 26 years old or older, most notably Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl of the Edmonton Oilers, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar of the Colorado Avalanche and many others, should also be prioritized in keeper and dynasty leagues but have been excluded from this list.
Recent NHL Draft picks who are not expected to play in the NHL this season (e.g. Anton Frondell, James Hagens, Cole Hutson, Cayden Lindstrom, Cole Eiserman) have been excluded from this list for now but should still be prioritized in long-term fantasy leagues. This list is a collaborative effort by Pete Jensen and Chris Meaney.
