Based on last season, there were 60 dual-eligible players in NHL.com's top 200 for August, including 15 in the top 50. Now, after Yahoo's position refining, there are 20 dual-eligible players in the top 200, with Joe Pavelski of the San Jose Sharks and Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche being the lone top 50 assets with multi-position eligibility. Players who had positions added or removed, in many cases, have seen changes in their rank based on position scarcity.
Yahoo's pre-ranks, which can affect a player's average draft position, have also been released. There could be a run on goalies in many leagues based on high pre-ranks at the position (eight goalies in top 30 by Yahoo; four in top 30 by NHL.com), so any players NHL.com has ranked ahead of their Yahoo standing (i.e. Carey Price, Cory Schneider, Matt Murray / Marc-Andre Fleury tandem) should be prioritized. That strategy applies to forwards and defensemen who are ranked higher by NHL.com as well.
The aforementioned trends, along with injury updates, recent signings (i.e. Jiri Hudler to Dallas Stars) and a coaching change by the Avalanche have altered player rankings compared to our August update.
Sign up for a Yahoo fantasy hockey league now and begin ranking players based on NHL.com's updated list. NHL.com will continue to update its rankings throughout September with training camps, injury updates, the World Cup of Hockey 2016 and NHL preseason right around the corner.
NOTE: Numbers in parentheses indicate each player's Yahoo pre-rank as of Sept. 1. ... Standard Yahoo categories include goals, assists, plus/minus, penalty minutes, power-play points and shots on goal for skaters, and wins, goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts for goalies.
