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 Chris Meaney.
Some valuable 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. Some players on this list (e.g. Matthew Schaefer, James Hagens, Anton Frondell) have been ranked based on long-term fantasy upside but may not play in the NHL this season.
