2013 Draft Prep: Top 200 breakdown
We don't have an ample amount of time to ramp up for the coming NHL season, so here's our top 200.
A few notes before we get to the rankings:
1. The rankings are mine, so don't go sending angry emails to RotoWire or CBSSports.com headquarters.
2. The rankings were compiled with a little bit of each of the following -- For skaters the focus was placed upon: Goals, assists, +/-, PIM, PPG, PPA. For goalies: Wins, loses, GAA, saves and shutouts.
3. The rankings are geared toward Head-to-Head setups in a Rotisserie style scoring system during each scoring period.
Without further delay, here's the Top 200 ...
| Rank | Name | Team | Position | Comment |
| 1 | Evgeni Malkin | PIT | C | Coming off the most dominating campaign in the game with 50 goals and 109 points. |
| 2 | Steven Stamkos | TB | C | Coming off the most dominating goal-scoring campaign in the game (60) in four years. |
| 3 | Sidney Crosby | PIT | C | Appeared in only 22 games because of injury but his 1.68 points-per-game mark was a career best. |
| 4 | Claude Giroux | PHI | RW | In his third full season he was third in the NHL with 93 points including 38 on the power-play. |
| 5 | Daniel Sedin | VAN | LW | Sedin appears to be fully recovered from the concussion that marred the end of his season. |
| 6 | Alex Ovechkin | WAS | LW | After five straight years to open his career with 50 goals, he's failed to reach 40 the past two seasons. |
| 7 | Corey Perry | ANA | RW | The only skater to have at least 35 goals and 100 PIMs each of the past two seasons. |
| 8 | Pekka Rinne | NSH | G | Led the league with 43 wins and 1,987 saves for the Predators. |
| 9 | Henrik Lundqvist | NYR | G | One of the most consistent keepers ever. Six straight years of 35 wins and 19 shutouts the past two seasons. |
| 10 | Henrik Sedin | VAN | C | His total of 81 points was a four-year low. He's also been at least +22 all of those seasons. |
| 11 | Ilya Kovalchuk | NJD | LW | Rebounded from his worst season to record 37 goals and 83 points. |
| 12 | Erik Karlsson | OTT | D | Outscored all other blue liners by 25 points (19 goals, 59 assists). |
| 13 | Shea Weber | NSH | D | Tied for the blue line lead in goals (19). Only rearguard with 10 goals, 45 points, +15, 175 hits, 145 blocks. |
| 14 | Jonathan Quick | LOS | G | Coming off back surgery, he's expected to be fine. Led league with 10 shutouts and his 1.95 GAA was second. |
| 15 | Zach Parise | MIN | LW | Playing in his home state, he's working on a stretch of five straight "healthy" seasons of 30 goals. |
| 16 | James Neal | PIT | RW | Second in the league with 329 shots, Neal scored 40 goals and recorded 81 points in 80 games. |
| 17 | Ryan Miller | BUF | G | You know you are good when 31 wins, a 2.54 GAA, .916 SV% and six shutouts is an average season. |
| 18 | John Tavares | NYI | C | Has done nothing but impress in three seasons. Game hit elite levels in Year 3 -- 31 goals, 81 points. |
| 19 | Kris Letang | PIT | D | Had 10 goals and 42 points in 51 games. Give him 82 games and those numbers become 16 and 68. |
| 20 | Zdeno Chara | BOS | D | Coming off a career best 40 assists, 52 points, +33 rating. Eight straight years of 40 points, 85 PIMs |
| 21 | Jason Spezza | OTT | C | Rarely has a point-per-game performer (616 in 606 games) received less notoriety. |
| 22 | Eric Staal | CAR | C | A furious finish allowed him to reach 70 points for the 7th straight season. Plays with his brother now. |
| 23 | Marc-Andre Fleury | PIT | G | Won 42 games backstopping the games best offense while sporting an impressive 2.36 GAA. |
| 24 | Phil Kessel | TOR | RW | Never met a puck he didn't want to shoot. Kessel reached career bests in goals (37) and points (82). |
| 25 | Rick Nash | NYR | LW | You're pretty darn special when 30 goals and 59 points is seen as a disaster. Finally out of Columbus. |
| 26 | Jonathan Toews | CHI | C | Would be ranked higher if injuries didn't limit him to 59 games. Still, 29 goals and 57 points is impressive. |
| 27 | Anze Kopitar | LOS | C | The last five years have seen at least 25 goals, and four times in five seasons at least 70 points (66 in 2008). |
| 28 | Pavel Datsyuk | DET | C | Fell below 20 goals for the first time since 2002, but still had nearly a point per game (67 in 70). |
| 29 | Nicklas Backstrom | WAS | C | Was once again an elite performer last season with 44 points in 42 games. Is over health woes - for now. |
| 30 | Henrik Zetterberg | DET | LW | It's been four years since he reached 30 goals, but he's a shot producing monster who scores points. |
| 31 | Patrick Sharp | CHI | RW | Not quite elite, but right on the cusp, year after year. Averaging 31 goals the past five seasons. |
| 32 | Bobby Ryan | ANA | RW | For four straight years he's hit 30 goals. Why the Ducks seem to always have him on the block is unknown. |
| 33 | Carey Price | MON | G | His record was sub-.500 (26-28-11) despite a 2.43 GAA and .916 save percentage. |
| 34 | Roberto Luongo | VAN | G | Where will he play? Has won 30 games seven straight years with at least four shutouts each season. |
| 35 | Taylor Hall | EDM | LW | Will he change his game to protect his body? Through two seasons he's averaged 32 goals per 82 games. |
| 36 | Tyler Seguin | BOS | RW | Like another Beantown youngster (Joe Thornton) it just took Seguin a year to get going (29 goals, 38 assists). |
| 37 | Patrick Kane | CHI | RW | The off-ice shenanigans have caused some to overlook the game that has produced 369 points in 399 games. |
| 38 | Loui Eriksson | DAL | LW | Three straight years of 70 points establish him as a star. Now if he could only find his lost "S." |
| 39 | Ryan Getzlaf | ANA | C | After four years averaging 80 points, Getzlaf slumped to just 57 last season. Expect a rebound. |
| 40 | Jarome Iginla | CGY | RW | For 11 years he's scored at least 30 goals. Showing some signs of slippage, but still a rockstar. |
| 41 | Martin St. Louis | TB | RW | Since 2006 his total of 532 points has been bettered only by one man -- Alexander Ovechkin (573). |
| 42 | Patrick Marleau | SAN | LW | Four straight 30-goal efforts including at least 10 power-play goals and 250 shots in each season. |
| 43 | Brad Richards | NYR | C | Has seen his point total shrink from 91 to 77 to 66. Still a power-play force to be reckoned with. |
| 44 | Joe Thornton | SAN | C | He's evolved as a hockey player at the expense of his point totals, though nine straight 70-point seasons ain't bad. |
| 45 | Ilya Bryzgalov | PHI | G | Couldn't have played any worse but still won 33 games with six shutouts for the Flyers. |
| 46 | Scott Hartnell | PHI | RW | The most complete player in Fantasy hockey in 2011? 37 goals, 67 points, +19 and 136 PIMs. |
| 47 | Jimmy Howard | DET | G | Only injury slowed Howard, who won 35 games for a 3rd straight year with a career best 2.12 GAA. |
| 48 | Gabriel Landeskog | COL | LW | As complete a rookie as we've seen in years. He scores (22 goals), hits (219) and shoots (270 shots on goal). |
| 49 | Jordan Eberle | EDM | RW | Exploded in second season with 34 goals and 76 points. Might put his game into yet another gear. |
| 50 | Miikka Kiprusoff | CGY | G | For seven straight years he has recorded 35 wins. His .921 save percentage last season was his best since 2005. |
| 51 | Logan Couture | SAN | C | Two full seasons, two 30-goal efforts. Was a power-play force last season with 26 man-advantage points. |
| 52 | Ryan Nugent-Hopkins | EDM | C | Only injury stopped RNH from a rather amazing rookie season. Still, 52 points in 62 games hints at greatness. |
| 53 | Keith Yandle | PHO | D | It's time to recognize he is an elite blue-liner who has scored 34 times the last three years. |
| 54 | Dustin Byfuglien | WPG | D | He's spotty off the ice and not a great defender, but he's an elite point-producer from the blue line. |
| 55 | Milan Lucic | BOS | LW | The modern day Cam Neely. Lucic has produced 26 goals, 61 points and 121 PIMs the last two years. |
| 56 | Marian Hossa | CHI | RW | When healthy, Hossa is still nearly a point-per-game producer who helps out all over the stat sheet. |
| 57 | Cam Ward | CAR | G | Canes have improved offensively, now they need to tighten things up defensively (Ward had a 2.74 GAA). |
| 58 | Thomas Vanek | BUF | LW | Had a six-year low in goals (26) but still extended his streak of seven straight seasons of 10 power-play goals. |
| 59 | David Backes | STL | C | How is this for a two-year average: 28 goals, 58 points, +24, 97 PIMs, 220 hits and 224 shots on net. |
| 60 | Kari Lehtonen | DAL | G | Has shaken the injury label with back-to-back 30-plus-win seasons. Coming off career best 2.33 goals against average. |
| 61 | Johan Franzen | DET | RW | Coming off two virtually identical seasons: 28 and 29 goals, 55 and 56 points, 10 and 11 power-play goals. |
| 62 | Drew Doughty | LOS | D | What the heck happened? Doughty had three-year lows in goals (10), points (36) and plus/minus (-2). |
| 63 | Mike Smith | PHX | G | The out-of-nowhere star in net, Smith won 38 games, had eight shutouts and a .930 save percentage. Encore? |
| 64 | Joe Pavelski | SAN | C | Little Joe scored a career best 31 goals and +18 and reached 265 shots for the third time in four years. |
| 65 | Antti Niemi | SAN | G | Inconsistent as all get out, Niemi has won 69 games with 12 shutouts in two seasons in San Jose. |
| 66 | Jonas Hiller | ANA | G | Finishing kick anyone? His last 41 games: 2.12 GAA and a .921 save percentage. |
| 67 | Alexander Semin | WAS | LW | The luster is gone, but the talent remains. Semin is one of those tantalizing talents that continues to frustrate. |
| 68 | Mike Ribeiro | WAS | C | A capable disher of the puck, he could easily exceed his average of 68 points the past two years in D.C. |
| 69 | Matt Duchene | COL | C | An elite young speedster, Duchene's production was literally halved in Year 3 (28 points). |
| 70 | Dan Boyle | SAN | D | When your four-year low in points is 48 you're a pretty darn effective producer from the blue line. |
| 71 | Duncan Keith | CHI | D | He's not the 2009 version (14 goals, 55 assists) but he's scored 40 points with a +15 rating in three of the last four years. |
| 72 | Martin Brodeur | NJD | G | Clearly no longer elite, but it's still hard to argue with 31 victories and a 2.41 GAA in 59 games. |
| 73 | Alex Pietrangelo | STL | D | He's averaged 12 goals and 47 points in his first two seasons. Only thing he doesn't do is bring PIMs. |
| 74 | Alexander Edler | VAN | D | Coming off a career best season of 11 goals and 49 points. Over 140 hits and blocks as well. |
| 75 | Jeff Carter | LOS | C | So many people seem to have forgotten that from 2008 to 2010 this guy averaged 38 goals. |
| 76 | Jamie Benn | DAL | C | A rising star, Benn has upped his point total from 41 to 56 to 63. Took 203 shots on net and recorded seven GWGs. |
| 77 | Alex Burrows | VAN | RW | Skating in Vancouver has its benefits. Burrows has recorded 26 goals with a +23 rate in four straight seasons. |
| 78 | Mike Green | WAS | D | After 70 points in 2008 & 2009 he's recorded 31 points in 81 games the past two season. Wild card personified. |
| 79 | Marian Gaborik | NYR | LW | As exciting a player as there is in the game. Period. Working his way back from a significant shoulder injury. |
| 80 | Niklas Backstrom | MIN | G | Talk of his demise is overblown. 2012: 2.43 GAA, .919 SV%. Career: 2.42 GAA, .918 SV%. |
| 81 | Mike Richards | LOS | C | Richards failed to reach his previous levels of offense in his first year in LA: 18 goals, 26 assists. |
| 82 | Dany Heatley | MIN | LW | His goal totals the past six years: 50, 41, 39, 39, 26, 24. Seems to have lost that extra gear. |
| 83 | Brian Campbell | FLA | D | Recorded 53 points, the second best total at the position with 31 on the power play. A mere four goals though. |
| 84 | Danny Briere | PHI | C | Failed to record 20 goals for the first time in a season of 70 games. Setup for a nice rebound in Philadelphia. |
| 85 | Dustin Brown | LOS | RW | Hits everything on the ice and racks up shots. He's recorded 50 points in five straight campaigns. |
| 86 | Teemu Selanne | ANA | RW | Four hundred eighty six years old -- and still a scoring ace. The last four years averaged 29 power-play points. |
| 87 | Patrik Elias | NJD | C | It only seems like he has been skating since the Stone Age. Coming off a 26 goal, 78 point effort. |
| 88 | Jordan Staal | CAR | C | Long a third-liner, Staal will get a chance to allow his offensive game to flourish. Scored 25 goals last year. |
| 89 | Jason Pominville | BUF | RW | Only once in the last six seasons has he failed to record 62 points (he had 30 goals and 73 points in 2011). |
| 90 | Cory Schneider | VAN | G | If Luongo is moved out of town as expected, he moves up like 25 spots. Career: 2.24 GAA, .928 save percentage. |
| 91 | Ryan Suter | MIN | D | Had 46 points with a +15 rating, but might be more valuable in the real world than in Fantasy. |
| 92 | P.K. Subban | MON | D | Has failed to reach 40 points the last two years but seems primed to take the next step in his third season. |
| 93 | Vincent Lecavalier | TB | C | The last two years he's failed to record 55 points or appear in 70 games. Is that all there is at this point? |
| 94 | Evander Kane | WPG | LW | Went from 14 to 19 to 30 goals. Fired 287 shots on net and upped his physical play as well (173 hits). |
| 95 | Matt Moulson | NYI | LW | Showing growth from 30 to 31 to 36 goals the past three years. Is there a 40-goal season in his stick? |
| 96 | Ryane Clowe | SJ | LW | Fell three penalty minutes short of a third straight 45 point, 100 PIM season. Solid and safe. |
| 97 | Dion Phaneuf | TOR | D | Returned to double-digit goals (12) with 44 points, 92 PIMs and 202 shots on goal to negate his (-10) mark. |
| 98 | Paul Stastny | COL | C | Basically a point-per-game skater his first four years. He's been at 0.72 the past two years. |
| 99 | Martin Havlat | SAN | RW | A dismal first year in San Jose (27 points in 39 games). Don't forget about the uber-talented winger. |
| 100 | Tuukka Rask | BOS | G | Gets his chance to take the reins. His career numbers are HOF worthy -- 2.20 GAA, .926 SV% in 102 games. |
| 101 | Craig Anderson | OTT | G | Won 33 games and finished the year with a .925 save percentage in an abbreviated second half (16 games). |
| 102 | Max Pacioretty | MON | LW | Returned from injury and exploded for 33 goals. One of 11 skaters with 30 goals and 285 shots on net. |
| 103 | Semyon Varlamov | COL | G | A mixed first season as a starter. He absolutely dominated his last 23 games: 2.06 GAA, .932 SV%. |
| 104 | Niklas Kronwall | DET | D | Scored 15 goals and 36 points for the Wings but somehow was saddled with a -2 rating. |
| 105 | Corey Crawford | CHI | G | Won 30 games for second year in a row, but lost his starting gig at times and needs a hot start to solidify role. |
| 106 | Ryan Callahan | NYR | RW | A complete player who scored 29 times, had 271 hits and took 235 shots on net. |
| 107 | Milan Michalek | OTT | LW | Appears to be healthy after abdominal surgery. Finally lived up to expectations in year eight with 35 goals. |
| 108 | Chris Stewart | STL | RW | Twelve months ago he was a must-own. A year after 15 goals and 30 points his career is at a crossroads. |
| 109 | Jaroslav Halak | STL | G | Can't play much better than he did with a 1.97 GAA, .926 SV% & six shutouts in just 46 contests. |
| 110 | Tyler Myers | BUF | D | Excellent as a rookie, passable as a sophomore, disappointing as a junior (8 goals, 15 assists, +5, 84 shots on goal). |
| 111 | Jeff Skinner | CAR | LW | The dreaded sophomore slump cost him 11 goals and 19 points. He also lost 18 games, so factor that in. |
| 112 | Mike Cammalleri | CGY | C | Scored 20 goals, but wasn't a power-play ace and he's now failed to skate in 70 games since 2008. |
| 113 | Brenden Morrow | DAL | LW | Dreadful. A year after scoring 33 goals he recorded 26 points. No one works harder. Expect a rebound. |
| 114 | David Clarkson | NJD | RW | The only skater in hockey with 30 goals, 138 PIMs, 165 hits and 225 shots on goal. |
| 115 | Wayne Simmonds | PHI | RW | Excelled in his first season in Philly as he did a little bit of everything -- 28 goals, 114 PIMs, 197 shots. |
| 116 | David Krejci | BOS | C | Averaging 62 points the past four years while coming off a career best season of 23 goals. |
| 117 | Kevin Bieksa | VAN | D | One point and six PIMs short of a 50/100 effort. Does a little bit of everything. |
| 118 | Mark Streit | NYI | D | That plus/minus was abysmal (-27), but he still produced a fourth straight year of at least 47 points. |
| 119 | Steve Downie | COL | LW | Fourteen goals, 41 points and 137 PIMs are a nice package of skill and rough stuff. |
| 120 | Olli Jokinen | WPG | C | Had a rebound effort in 2011 with his first 60-point season since 2007. Might be hard-pressed to repeat. |
| 121 | Ondrej Pavelec | WPG | G | Played 68 games but that 29-28-9 record has to improve, not to mention that poor 2.91 GAA. |
| 122 | Nathan Horton | FLA | RW | All about potential here as he was once again limited by injury (32 points in 46 games). |
| 123 | Brent Burns | SAN | D | Given the Sharks' firepower it would seem his 2011 totals are the floor (11 goals, 26 assists). |
| 124 | Jason Garrison | VAN | D | Lit it up for 16 goals, nine on the power play, and now gets to skate for one of the better teams in the league. |
| 125 | Brian Elliott | STL | G | Statistically the best keeper in hockey: 1.56 GAA, .940 SV% led the league. Still looks to be behind Halak. |
| 126 | Patrice Bergeron | BOS | C | One of the most complete players in the game, his total of 64 points was his best since 2006. |
| 127 | Valtteri Filppula | DET | LW | With changes in Detroit came opportunity, and Valtteri excelled with 66 points and a +18 rating. |
| 128 | Stephen Weiss | FLA | C | Three straight years of 20-goals and three times in four years he's also hit the 55-point level. |
| 129 | Nail Yakupov | EDM | RW | The must-own rookie of the season? Yakupov can do it all on the ice and will try to emulate Landeskog's campaign. |
| 130 | Anders Lindback | TAM | G | Should be able to hold off Garon in net. Only 38 games of NHL experience on his resume though. |
| 131 | Sergei Bobrovsky | CLM | G | Should be able to hold off Mason and receive his first shot to be "the man" in his new home. |
| 132 | Sergei Gonchar | OTT | D | It's been two years since he hit 50 points, failing in fact to record 40 in either of the past two. |
| 133 | John Carlson | WAS | D | Last season was the same as the year before other than a 36-point drop in his plus/minus (-15). |
| 134 | Jose Theodore | FLA | G | Coming off a solid season (2.46 GAA, .917 SV%), Luongo rumors hang over his head. |
| 135 | Justin Schultz | EDM | D | Joined the Oilers after failing to sign with Ducks. Has been piling up points like Paul Coffey in the AHL. |
| 136 | Radim Vrbata | PHX | RW | Raise your hand if you knew he scored 35 times, had 62 points and was a +24 skater. Put your hand down. |
| 137 | Brent Seabrook | CHI | D | Steady. Scored 34 points, was a +21 skater, had 198 hits, blocked 165 shots and took 156 shots on net. |
| 138 | Mikko Koivu | MIN | C | He'll never be a goal-scorer, but he can dish the puck at near-elite levels. All he needs is health. |
| 139 | Ray Whitney | DAL | LW | Undersized and 40, that didn't stop Whitney from recording 24 goals and 77 points in his 20th season. |
| 140 | Tomas Plekanec | MON | C | Failed to record 20 goals for the first time in six years, but still pumped home 200 shots for a fourth straight year. |
| 141 | T.J. Oshie | STL | RW | A leader on and off the ice, his fourth season led to 19 goals and 54 points -- career bests. |
| 142 | Matt Carle | TAM | D | Has settled in as an effective performer with 35 points the past three years. Returns to Tampa Bay. |
| 143 | Oliver Ekman-Larsson | PHO | D | 2009 first-rounder exploded with 13 goals and 32 points in his first full season on the blue line. |
| 144 | Lubomir Visnovsky | NYI | D | Catastrophic fall from 68 to 27 points at age 35. Doesn't want to be with the Isles, but who does? |
| 145 | Joffrey Lupul | TOR | LW | Stayed out of the trainers' room and the result was an impressive season -- 25 goals, 42 assists. |
| 146 | Michael Del Zotto | NYR | D | Finally was a plus skater at +20 to augment a nice offensive game (10 goals, 31 assists). |
| 147 | Devan Dubnyk | EDM | G | Khabibulin is old (39) an in the last year of his deal so Dubnyk will likely get a shot to play a lot in the crease. |
| 148 | James Reimer | TOR | G | The Leafs' keeper at the moment, heavy rumors have Toronto as a potential landing spot for Luongo. |
| 149 | Kevin Shattenkirk | STL | D | Fired 178 shots on net while scoring nine times and handing out 34 assists for the Blues. |
| 150 | Shane Doan | PHX | RW | Don't know why he re-signed with the Coyotes, but he will look to record 20 goals for 12th time in 13 years. |
| 151 | P.A. Parenteau | COL | RW | Recorded 67 points on the Isles. He'll look to grow that number with the up-and-coming Avalanche. |
| 152 | Christian Ehrhoff | BUD | D | Big time failure after signing a huge deal with the Sabres with five goals, 32 points and a -2 rating. |
| 153 | Tyler Ennis | BUF | C | Undersized but productive. His pace last year, over 82 games, would have netted 58 points. |
| 154 | Drew Stafford | BUF | RW | Lost 11 goals from the previous season but only fell off two points (50). Went from 19 to seven power-play points. |
| 155 | Braden Holtby | WAS | G | Appears to be in the lead to backstop the Caps even with only 21 games of NHL experience under his belt. |
| 156 | Blake Wheeler | WPG | RW | Finally lived up to the hype with 64 points including 31 over his final 32 games on the ice. |
| 157 | Erik Cole | MON | LW | Coming off the best season of his career with a career-best 35 goals, including 11 on the power play. |
| 158 | Kimmo Timonen | PHI | D | Thirty games short of 1,000, he can still produce points (37 or more in 10 straight seasons). |
| 159 | Evgeni Nabokov | NYI | G | You can't take DiPietro seriously, so it appears Nabby could start after solid return: 2.55 GAA, .914 SV%. |
| 160 | Daniel Alfredsson | OTT | RW | Nearly 40 years old, he can still score as evidenced by his 27 markers and 59 points. |
| 161 | Nikita Nikitin | CLM | D | You might have missed it but he really took off with the Blue Jackets recording 32 points in a mere 54 games. |
| 162 | Justin Williams | LOS | RW | Has settled in as a winger who will be in the 20 goal, 60 point range if he can stay on the ice. |
| 163 | Mark Giordano | CGY | D | Fell off his 2010 pace but he's still averaged nine goals and 33 points the past three seasons. |
| 164 | Dennis Wideman | CGY | D | Had an epic season last year with the Caps, scoring 11 times with 46 points and 175 shots on goal. |
| 165 | Teddy Purcell | TAM | RW | He doesn't hit anyone, doesn't block shots or produce PIMs, but he scores -- 24 goals and 65 points. |
| 166 | Cam Fowler | ANA | D | Failed to build on his rookie season (10g, 30a) with five goals, 24 assists. A -53 performer in two seasons. |
| 167 | Mike Fisher | NSH | C | Mr. Carrie Underwood had a strong first season in Nashville with 24 goals and 27 assists. |
| 168 | Michal Neuvirth | WAS | G | Fell on his face last season with a terrible set of ratios in 38 games: 2.82 GAA, .903 SV%. |
| 169 | John-Michael Liles | TOR | D | His first year in Toronto was seen as a failure by some, but he was still on an 82-game pace of 34 points. |
| 170 | Ales Hemsky | EDM | C | Hemsky could be ranked 100 spots higher in next year's rankings if he can stay healthy this season. |
| 171 | Tomas Fleishmann | WAS | LW | Coming off a career season -- 27 goals and 61 points -- the second time in his career he hit the 20-goal mark. |
| 172 | Ryan Kesler | VAN | C | Hopes to be back in December (shoulder). Coming off his worst season in four years (49 points). |
| 173 | Martin Erat | NSH | RW | The most consistent player in hockey? From 2003 through last year he's had between 49 and 58 points each season. |
| 174 | Derek Stepan | NYR | RW | Upped his game in his second season scoring 51 points with a +14 an a more physical game. |
| 175 | Chris Kunitz | PIT | LW | A feisty winger who, if he skates as a top-six forward, should again score 25 goals -- his average the last two years. |
| 176 | Brad Marchand | BOS | LW | Gets everything out of his undersized frame. The last two years he has 49 goals and a +56 rating. |
| 177 | Kris Versteeg | FLA | RW | Twenty-three goals and 54 points is nice, but he slowed tremendously with 16 points in his last 33 games. |
| 178 | Andrew Ladd | WPG | LW | Might be the quietest 57-goal scorer the past two years in the NHL. Shot the puck 265 times last season. |
| 179 | Jaromir Jagr | DAL | LW | Can still put up points, 54 in 74 games, and be a force on the power play (20 PP points). |
| 180 | Justin Faulk | CAR | D | Twenty-two points is a solid effort for a rookie. Has to improve his two-way play though as -16 is unsightly. |
| 181 | David Perron | STL | RW | Finally healthy, Perron was a monster last season with 21 goals, 21 assists and a +19 in just 57 games. |
| 182 | Ryan O'Reilly | COL | C | Took the next step in year three with 18 goals and 55 points. Only 11 shots short of 200 as well. |
| 183 | Marcus Foligno | BUF | LW | The burly winger had 13 points in a 14-game cup of coffee and got off to a great start in the AHL during the lockout. |
| 184 | James Wisniewski | CLM | D | His first season in Columbus was a disappointment, but he still has 48 points in his last 80 games. |
| 185 | Michael Ryder | DAL | RW | Scored 35 goals after recording 36 the previous two years. |
| 186 | Dennis Seidenberg | BOS | D | A solid all-around rearguard who had 23 points and a +15 rating last year. A solid roster filler. |
| 187 | Tomas Kaberle | MON | D | He can still run a power play, though he's not likely to lead Fantasy squad blue-liners in points. |
| 188 | Mathieu Garon | TAM | G | Won 23 games for Tampa though his 2.85 GAA and .901 SV% aren't going to help you in this day and age. |
| 189 | Nikolai Khabibulin | EDM | G | Terrific start (1.12 GAA in October) but has long been forgotten thanks to finish: .887 SV% in the second half. |
| 190 | Josh Harding | MIN | G | One of the best backups in the league. He owns a career .916 save percentage in 117 games. |
| 191 | Sheldon Souray | ANA | D | Soured after an amazing start (13 points, +10 in 24 games). Can still run a power play with aplomb. |
| 192 | Marek Zidlicky | NJD | D | At the end of his rope? Twenty-two points last season, 24 in 2010. He had 43 in 2009. |
| 193 | Alex Goligoski | DAL | D | Returned to the 30-point level with health, but is sporting a mere even rating his last 94 games. |
| 194 | Brandon Dubinsky | CLM | LW | Hits everything and has back-to-back 100 PIM seasons. However, fell to 10 goals after 44 previous two years. |
| 195 | Patric Hornqvist | NSH | RW | Averaged 26 goals in 2009-10 and recorded 27 last season. Shoots a ton -- 230 or more in three straight campaigns. |
| 196 | Sean Couturier | PHI | C | Solid as a rookie with 27 points and a +18 rating, he could double that point total in his second season. |
| 197 | Adam Henrique | NJD | C | Will try to build on an impressive rookie season that included 16 goals and 35 assists. |
| 198 | Nikolai Kulemin | TOR | RW | After 30 goals, falling to 28 points isn't acceptable no matter what the excuse might be. |
| 199 | Stephane Robidas | DAL | D | Failed to record 200 hits for first time in three years and had lowest point total (22) since 2006. |
| 200 | Ben Scrivens | TOR | G | Only has value if the Leafs don't make the move to add Roberto Luongo in net. |
