    Connor McDavid is not No. 1, and that shouldn't be a surprise.

    Welcome to the new year.

    When we talk about the best player in hockey, we’re usually talking about Connor McDavid. But I can say with a pretty high degree of certainty that McDavid is not the best player this season. While he was the consensus pre-season favorite, this is not a spicy take. It’s hard to get to the top and even harder to stay at the top.

    For Version 4.0 of the rankings, which covers from now until the end of the season and taking current injuries into consideration, Lightning right winger Nikita Kucherov reigns supreme. At 1.65 points per game and 61 points in 37 games, Kucherov begins 2024 as the league’s scoring leader.

    Bruins right winger David Pastrnak and Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon round out the top three, with MacKinnon falling behind because the Avs have played two more games than the Bruins, and therefore two less games to accumulate points from now until the end of the season.

    The biggest changes from Version 3.0 and Version 4.0 are the goalies. This shouldn’t be a surprise; when save percentages across the league are down, it disproportionately affects the value of goalies. There’s a an inverse relationship between the overall fantasy value of players and goalies (more goals = fewer saves) and presumptive starters such as the Oilers' Jack Campbell and Maple Leafs' Ilya Samsonov have near-zero value now.

    Check the bottom of the post for a list of players who just missed the cut, notable omissions and players who dropped out (mostly injured players) since the previous version.

    Categories considered for rankings are: Goals, Assists, Shots and Power-play Points for players, and Wins, Goals Against, Saves and Save Percentage for goalies.

    * = injured or suspended

    Full sortable list:

    2023-24 Top 300 Fantasy Hockey Player Rankings, Version 4.0 (Rest of Season)

    1. Nikita Kucherov, RW, Lightning
    2. David Pastrnak, RW, Bruins
    3. Nathan MacKinnon, C, Avalanche
    4. Artemi Panarin, LW, Rangers5. Connor McDavid, C, Oilers

    This is not a hot take. McDavid is undeniably the league’s best player in most seasons. But given his slow start and the Oilers’ struggles, to blindly rank him at the top would not be reflective of what’s been going on this season. Of the players previously ranked in the top 10, McDavid’s four-spot fall is the biggest.

    6. Jack Hughes, C/LW, Devils
    7. William Nylander, RW, Maple Leafs
    8. Auston Matthews, C, Maple Leafs
    9. Mikko Rantanen, RW, Avalanche
    10. J.T. Miller, C/RW, Canucks
    11. Sidney Crosby, C, Penguins
    12. Quinn Hughes, D, Canucks
    13. Leon Draisaitl, C/LW, Oilers

    Among players previously ranked in the top 20, Draisaitl suffers the biggest fall. After being ranked right behind McDavid on most lists, he’s not even a top-five center right now.

    14. Cale Makar, D, Avalanche15. Elias Pettersson, C, Canucks
    16. Jack Eichel, C, Golden Knights
    17. Tim Stützle, C/LW, Senators
    18. Filip Forsberg, LW, Predators

    Forsberg sees the biggest climb by 38 spots in the top 20. He’s averaging 1.11 points per game, which ranks only higher than Jack Eichel’s 1.05 among the top-20 scorers, but he’s also on pace for well over 300 shots. Maybe his scoring rate will dip a little bit more, but that’s a nice floor in any league.

    19. Jesper Bratt, LW/RW, Devils

    We need to stop ignoring Bratt. After scoring at basically a point-per-game pace of the past two seasons, Bratt’s on pace for his first 100-point season.

    20. Mitch Marner, RW, Maple Leafs
    21. Steven Stamkos, C, Lightning
    22. Sam Reinhart, RW, Panthers
    23. Jake Guentzel, LW, Penguins
    24. Mark Scheifele, C, Jets

    Scheifele was probably ranked too low in the previous rankings. He’s having a nice bounce-back season and back in the 80-90-point range with solid shot volume and excellent finishing ability.

    25. Brayden Point, C, Lightning
    26. Kirill Kaprizov, LW, Wild*
    27. Mika Zibanejad, C, Rangers
    28. John Tavares, C, Maple Leafs

    Brock Boeser

    29. Brock Boeser, RW, Canucks

    Boeser makes a huge jump from No. 108 in the previous rankings based on his outstanding goal-scoring pace. Is he in Auston Matthews’ class? Not quite without the same kind of usage and talent, but Boeser’s halfway to 50 goals with more than half the season to play.

    30. Robert Thomas, C, Blues
    31. Valeri Nichushkin, LW/RW, Avalanche

    A big surge has vaulted Nichushkin up the charts. He’s in a plum situation playing next to Nathan MacKinnon, and as long as he can stay on the ice, he will shatter his previous career-high of 52 points.

    32. Aleksander Barkov, C, Panthers
    33. Sebastian Aho, C, Hurricanes
    34. Bo Horvat, C, Islanders
    35. Zach Hyman, LW/RW, Oilers

    Hyman deserves a mea culpa. I had considered him to be among the group of high-flying Oilers who would surely regress this season, but it turns out Hyman’s the one who’s not regressing.

    36. Connor Bedard, C, Blackhawks
    37. Dylan Larkin, C, Red Wings
    38. Alex DeBrincat, LW/RW, Red Wings
    39. Kevin Fiala, LW, Kings
    40. Mark Stone, RW, Golden Knights

    Stone is not a noted a scorer and previous rankings considered his lengthy injury history. That has not been a problem this season, making him a solid point-per-game player. You just wish he shot the puck more often.

    41. Noah Dobson, D, Islanders

    If you’re keeping track, Dobson is the third-ranked defenseman following Quinn Hughes and Cale Makar. That feels appropriate in a low-key breakout season and perhaps one of just a handful of blueliners who will average around a point per game this season.

    42. Adrian Kempe, C/RW, Kings
    43. Evan Bouchard, D, Oilers

    His fantasy value has yo-yoed, from being a notably poor defender (I think he still is) with zeroes and minus plus-minus ratings to one with excellent possession numbers. I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive; the Oilers’ improved offense and goaltending can make any one-dimensional defender’s numbers look good. That being said, he’s easily a top-10 fantasy defenseman in any format.

    44. Jason Robertson, LW, Stars

    Perhaps no player has fallen out of the superstar tier quicker than Robertson. To be honest, I wasn’t convinced he was an elite-level scorer in the Mikko Rantanen tier, and he’ll already be a great topic of debate for the 2024-25 fantasy hockey season.

    45. Clayton Keller, LW/RW, Coyotes
    46. Brad Marchand, LW, Bruins
    47. Patrick Kane, RW, Red Wings

    Kane enters the rankings for the first time after signing with the Red Wings. He’s been excellent, scoring at a point-per-game pace even though his two-way play hasn’t been great, but we always knew that. If you stashed Kane, he’s paid off huge dividends so far.

    48. Brady Tkachuk, LW, Senators
    49. Chris Kreider, LW, Rangers
    50. Anze Kopitar, C, Kings
    51. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, C/LW, Oilers
    52. Mathew Barzal, C/RW, Islanders

    I’m not convinced Barzal is back into star status yet because his scoring can still be so streaky. But it’s undeniable that he’s formed a great partnership with Bo Horvat, and that has provided significantly more fantasy value for a player that was barely in the top 100.

    53. Brock Nelson, C, Islanders
    54. Matthew Tkachuk, LW/RW, Panthers

    Is the scoring coming back? If it is, Tkachuk will move back up, but there’s still no sign that his offense will come around this season.

    55. Roman Josi, D, Predators
    56. Joe Pavelski, C/RW, Stars
    57. Carter Verhaeghe, C/LW, Panthers
    58. Jordan Kyrou, C/RW, Blues
    59. Joel Eriksson Ek, C, Wild
    60. Vincent Trocheck, C, Rangers
    61. Roope Hintz, C, Stars
    62. Rasmus Dahlin, D, Sabres
    63. Victor Hedman, D, Lightning
    64. Travis Konecny, LW/RW, Flyers
    65. Evgeni Malkin, C, Penguins
    66. Gabriel Vilardi, C/RW, Jets

    Does this feel high? Certainly a little bit, but a case can be made for Vilardi to have immense fantasy value playing L1 and PP1 for the Jets. His numbers, both raw and underlying, remain excellent.

    67. Nick Suzuki, C, Canadiens
    68. Matt Duchene, C/RW, Stars
    69. Claude Giroux, C/RW, Senators
    70. Pavel Buchnevich, C/LW, Blues
    71. Igor Shesterkin, G, Rangers

    Trevor Moore

    72. Trevor Moore, LW, Kings

    Truly an underrated player in both real life and fantasy. He’s a great source of goals and shots. At this part of the list, no player is well-rounded, so you’re looking for players who do a couple things very well.

    73. Jonathan Marchessault, RW, Golden Knights
    74. William Karlsson, C, Golden Knights
    75. Cam Talbot, G, Kings
    76. Andrei Vasilevskiy, G, Lightning
    77. Tyler Toffoli, LW/RW, Devils
    78. Connor Hellebuyck, G, Jets
    79. Tomas Hertl, C, Sharks
    80. Jeff Skinner, LW, Sabres
    81. Josh Morrissey, D, Jets
    82. Tage Thompson, C/RW, Sabres

    All the Sabres take a huge tumble. Not being able to figure things out in their own end and inconsistent play from shift to shift takes away their ability to generate offense and time in the offensive zone.

    83. Cole Caufield, LW/RW, Canadiens
    84. Evander Kane, LW, Oilers
    85. Nikolaj Ehlers, LW/RW, Jets
    86. Alex Ovechkin, LW, Capitals
    87. Ryan O'Reilly, C, Predators
    88. Drake Batherson, LW/RW, Senators
    89. Tristan Jarry, G, Penguins
    90. Nazem Kadri, C, Flames
    91. Oliver Bjorkstrand, RW, Kraken
    92. Thatcher Demko, G, Canucks
    93. Casey Mittelstadt, C, Sabres
    94. Filip Hronek, D, Canucks

    You wonder if Hronek can keep up this torrid scoring pace, as his fantasy value is directly tied to Quinn Hughes’ play. A slower pace of scoring is good for the Canucks, who can presumably re-sign him for fewer dollars.

    95. Erik Karlsson, D, Penguins
    96. Alex Tuch, RW, Sabres
    97. Adam Fox, D, Rangers
    98. Jakob Chychrun, D, Senators
    99. Josh Norris, C, Senators
    100. Ilya Sorokin, G, Islanders
    101. Martin Necas, C/RW, Hurricanes
    102. Jeremy Swayman, G, Bruins
    103. Lucas Raymond, LW/RW, Red Wings
    104. JJ Peterka, RW, Sabres

    He was a dark-horse pick but gained 142 spots for being a reliable second-line winger. On some nights, he was the best Sabre on the ice when the top line wasn’t able to get going.

    105. Jake Oettinger, G, Stars*

    Oettinger tailed off right before his injury and he’s ranked this low partially due to the uncertain timeline of his recovery. He can still be an elite goalie.

    106. Elias Lindholm, C, Flames
    107. Andrei Svechnikov, LW/RW, Hurricanes
    108. Vince Dunn, D, Kraken
    109. Timo Meier, LW/RW, Devils*
    110. Connor Ingram, G, Coyotes

    Ingram has taken over the starting job on the Coyotes and posted very good numbers, making Karel Vejmelka potentially expendable. If the Coyotes can get key players back from injury and maintain their current pace, Ingram is a good mid-tier fantasy goalie. Not bad for someone who wasn’t drafted in any fantasy leagues.

    111. Logan Couture, C, Sharks*
    112. Sergei Bobrovsky, G, Panthers
    113. Juuse Saros, G, Predators
    114. Sean Couturier, C, Flyers
    115. Seth Jarvis, C/RW, Hurricanes
    116. Mason McTavish, C/LW, Ducks
    117. Linus Ullmark, G, Bruins
    118. Miro Heiskanen, D, Stars
    119. Charlie McAvoy, D, Bruins
    120. Evan Rodrigues, C/LW/RW, Panthers
    121. Frank Vatrano, C/LW, Ducks
    122. Mike Matheson, D, Canadiens
    123. Vladimir Tarasenko, RW, Senators

    Jan 1, 2024; Seattle, Washington, USA; Seattle Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord (35) and defenseman Adam Larsson (6) celebrate after defeating the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2024 Winter Classic ice hockey game at T-Mobile Park.

    124. Joey Daccord, G, Kraken

    This feels low, though I may be biased since I had been invested in Daccord early in the season. Following a 35-save shutout at the Winter Classic, Daccord has very much looked like an elite goalie.

    125. Jacob Markstrom, G, Flames
    126. Stuart Skinner, G, Oilers
    127. Matt Boldy, LW/RW, Wild
    128. Brandon Hagel, LW/RW, Lightning
    129. Charlie Lindgren, G, Capitals*

    We shall see how the Caps divvy up the starts, but Lindgren is one of a handful of goalies who suddenly garnered a ton of fantasy value in the second half of the season.

    130. Gustav Nyquist, LW, Predators
    131. Filip Gustavsson, G, Wild*
    132. Shayne Gostisbehere, D, Red Wings
    133. Quinton Byfield, C/LW, Kings
    134. Pyotr Kochetkov, G, Hurricanes
    135. Trevor Zegras, C, Ducks
    136. Joel Farabee, LW, Flyers
    137. Tyler Seguin, C/RW, Stars
    138. Jordan Binnington, G, Blues
    139. Alexandar Georgiev, G, Avalanche

    Georgiev should have a lot more fantasy value than this, but his ugly save percentage and continuing threats from Ivan Prosvetov (not ranked) to steal the job really hurts his fantasy value. The wins are nice, but Georgiev offers little else.

    140. Marco Rossi, C, Wild
    141. Adam Fantilli, C, Blue Jackets
    142. Charlie Coyle, C, Bruins
    143. Owen Tippett, RW, Flyers
    144. Dylan Cozens, C/RW, Sabres
    145. Phillip Danault, C, Kings
    146. Vitek Vanecek, G, Devils

    Be fully prepared for Vanecek’s fantasy value to drop because of Nico Daws. Forget about Akira Schmid this season; Daws is likely their goalie of the future and the Devils need to starting winning games now.

    147. Cole Perfetti, C/LW, Jets
    148. Pavel Zacha, C, Bruins
    149. Samuel Ersson, G, Flyers
    150. Lawson Crouse, LW/RW, Coyotes
    151. Semyon Varlamov, G, Islanders
    152. Nico Hischier, C, Devils
    153. Petr Mrazek, G, Blackhawks
    154. Nick Schmaltz, C/RW, Coyotes

    Schmaltz had a good run. If you didn’t get him during his point-per-game run over the past season-and-half, you likely missed out on his peak fantasy value. With so many options in the lineup and scoring that’s been very streaky, Schmaltz’s fantasy value will likely continue to dip.

    155. John Carlson, D, Capitals
    156. Matias Maccelli, LW, Coyotes
    157. John Gibson, G, Ducks
    158. Travis Sanheim, D, Flyers
    159. Kyle Palmieri, RW, Islanders
    160. Jared McCann, LW, Kraken
    161. Johnny Gaudreau, LW, Blue Jackets

    The list of players that dropped out of this list include numerous Blue Jackets. Gaudreau won’t drop out of the list entirely, but in shallow 8 to 10-team leagues, he’s basically a streamer or a depth scorer.

    162. J.T. Compher, LW/RW, Red Wings
    163. Nino Niederreiter, RW, Jets
    164. Moritz Seider, D, Red Wings
    165. Wyatt Johnston, C, Stars
    166. Mason Marchment, LW, Stars
    167. Jonathan Quick, G, Rangers

    I do wonder if Quick will have as much fantasy value in the second half as the first. He was extraordinarily good, and it jus seems like a very tough pace to maintain. In crunch time, the Rangers will surely start Igor Shesterkin.

    168. Yegor Sharangovich, C/LW, Flames
    169. Joonas Korpisalo, G, Senators
    170. Adin Hill, G, Golden Knights*
    171. Kirill Marchenko, RW, Blue Jackets

    Did I say all the Jackets fell down the list? Not Marchenko, Yegor Chinakhov or Adam Fantilli. The Jackets’ young players have often outperformed their veterans. That’s actually a good thing, in my opinion, for a team that’s still in the re-building stages.

    172. Sean Durzi, D, Kings
    173. Sean Monahan, C, Canadiens
    174. Tom Wilson, RW, Capitals
    175. Morgan Rielly, D, Maple Leafs
    176. Cam Atkinson, RW, Flyers
    177. Matty Beniers, C, Kraken
    178. Jaccob Slavin, D, Hurricanes
    179. Teuvo Teravainen, LW/RW, Hurricanes
    180. Jordan Eberle, RW, Kraken
    181. Jamie Benn, LW, Stars
    182. Eeli Tolvanen, LW/RW, Kraken
    183. Brandon Montour, D, Panthers
    184. Nick Bjugstad, C, Coyotes
    185. Philipp Kurashev, RW, Blackhawks
    186. Shane Pinto, C, Senators*

    Yet to be reinstated and play a game, Pinto’s second-half fantasy value is based on projections. It’s possible this is the only time he makes the list, depending on how well he plays.

    187. Reilly Smith, LW/RW, Penguins
    188. Alex Pietrangelo, D, Golden Knights

    Scott Wedgewood

    189. Scott Wedgewood, G, Stars

    Wedgewood will gain more fantasy value the longer Jake Oettinger remains injured. Apropos of his Twitter/X handle, “Wedgewall” has indeed been very good for the Stars. The numbers don’t tell the whole story but Wedgewood should be able to win plenty of games.

    190. James van Riemsdyk, LW, Bruins
    191. Brayden Schenn, C/LW, Blues
    192. Daniel Sprong, RW, Red Wings
    193. Blake Coleman, C/RW, Flames
    194. Devon Toews, D, Avalanche
    195. Mikael Granlund, C/RW, Sharks
    196. Jesperi Kotkaniemi, C, Hurricanes
    197. Mac Weegar, D, Flames
    198. Michael Bunting, LW, Hurricanes
    199. Ilya Mikheyev, LW/RW, Canucks
    200. Rickard Rakell, RW, Penguins
    201. Brady Skjei, D, Hurricanes
    202. Justin Faulk, D, Blues
    203. Jake Sanderson, D, Senators
    204. Alexis Lafrenière, LW/RW, Rangers
    205. Jake DeBrusk, LW/RW, Bruins
    206. Joseph Woll, G, Maple Leafs*
    207. Jack Quinn, RW, Sabres
    208. Mats Zuccarello, RW, Wild*
    209. Drew Doughty, D, Kings
    210. Troy Terry, RW, Ducks*
    211. Rasmus Andersson, D, Flames
    212. Dylan Strome, C, Capitals
    213. Andrei Kuzmenko, LW/RW, Canucks
    214. Yegor Chinakhov, RW, Blue Jackets
    215. Darcy Kuemper, G, Capitals
    216. Mikael Backlund, C, Flames
    217. Nick Foligno, LW, Blackhawks
    218. Joel Hofer, G, Blues
    219. Kris Letang, D, Penguins
    220. Conor Garland, RW, Canucks
    221. Max Pacioretty, LW, Capitals*
    222. Sam Montembeault, G, Canadiens
    223. Jamie Drysdale, D, Ducks

    We shall see how the Ducks deploy Drysdale and if he can leapfrog Cam Fowler for more power-play minutes. Pavel Mintyukov has already taken a backseat and Drysdale was the presumptive PP1 QB going into the season.

    224. Max Domi, C/LW, Maple Leafs
    225. Sam Bennett, C, Panthers
    226. Andre Burakovsky, LW/RW, Kraken
    227. Elvis Merzlikins, G, Blue Jackets
    228. Ryan Hartman, C/RW, Wild
    229. Erik Gustafsson, D, Rangers
    230. Arthur Kaliyev, RW, Kings
    231. Mattias Ekholm, D, Oilers
    232. Stefan Noesen, LW/RW, Hurricanes

    A power-play merchant last season, Noesen has appeared in the top six and now scores regularly at even strength. The Canes are a tough team to mine for fantasy value other than Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov, but plenty of players make the list due to their strong play.

    233. Nick Paul, C/LW, Lightning
    234. Logan Thompson, G, Golden Knights
    235. Adam Henrique, C/LW, Ducks
    236. Calle Jarnkrok, C/LW, Maple Leafs
    237. Jonathan Huberdeau, C/LW, Flames

    If Huberdeau keeps playing like this, he’ll drop out of the list altogether in the next version.

    238. Robby Fabbri, LW, Red Wings
    239. Colton Sissons, C, Predators
    240. Ivan Barbashev, C/LW, Golden Knights
    241. Ross Colton, C/LW, Avalanche*
    242. Anders Lee, LW, Islanders
    243. Chandler Stephenson, C, Golden Knights
    244. Anthony Cirelli, C, Lightning
    245. Trent Frederic, C/RW, Bruins
    246. Jason Zucker, LW, Coyotes
    247. Kevin Hayes, C, Blues

    Dec 27, 2023; Newark, New Jersey, USA; New Jersey Devils defenseman Luke Hughes (43) celebrates his goal against the Columbus Blue Jackets during the third period at Prudential Center.

    248. Luke Hughes, D, Devils

    Hughes is an excellent prospect and will surely score more points in the future, but still on pace to score between 40-50 points this season, which would barely crack the top 100 in overall scoring. That being said, it would not be surprising at all if he moves up the list in the next update. 

    249. Marcus Johansson, LW, Wild
    250. Warren Foegele, LW, Oilers
    251. William Eklund, C/LW, Sharks
    252. Morgan Geekie, C/RW, Bruins
    253. Cam York, D, Flyers
    254. Pierre-Luc Dubois, C/LW, Kings
    255. Andrew Copp, C, Red Wings
    256. Brandon Saad, LW, Blues
    257. Jake Neighbours, LW/RW, Blues
    258. Brock Faber, D, Wild
    259. Logan Cooley, C, Coyotes
    260. Alex Kerfoot, C/LW, Coyotes
    261. Karel Vejmelka, G, Coyotes
    262. Anthony Stolarz, G, Panthers
    263. Anton Lundell, C, Panthers
    264. Noah Hanifin, D, Flames
    265. Erik Haula, C, Devils
    266. Ryan Johansen, C, Avalanche
    267. Carter Hart, G, Flyers
    268. Laurent Brossoit, G, Jets
    269. Tyler Bertuzzi, LW, Maple Leafs
    270. Luke Evangelista, RW, Predators
    271. Ivan Provorov, D, Blue Jackets
    272. Evgeny Kuznetsov, C, Capitals

    Between Kuznetsov’s fall and Ovechkin close to falling out of the top 100, this truly is the end of an era for the Caps.

    273. Mackenzie Blackwood, G, Sharks
    274. Ryan Strome, LW/RW, Ducks
    275. Alex Iafallo, LW/RW, Jets
    276. Casey DeSmith, G, Canucks
    277. Alex Nedeljkovic, G, Penguins
    278. Alex Lyon, G, Red Wings
    279. Anthony Mantha, RW, Capitals
    280. Mikhail Sergachev, D, Lightning*
    281. Torey Krug, D, Blues
    282. Fabian Zetterlund, LW, Sharks
    283. Scott Laughton, C, Flyers
    284. Mathieu Joseph, RW, Senators*
    285. Brendan Gallagher, RW, Canadiens
    286. Kyle Connor, LW, Jets*

    Connor is back skating, which indicates he’ll return sooner than expected. However, he’s still going to miss a good chunk of the remainder of the seasons, which explains his low ranking. Once he returns, he’ll easily shoot back into the top-10 among wingers.

    287. Andrew Mangiapane, LW/RW, Flames
    288. Alexander Holtz, RW, Devils
    289. Ville Husso, G, Red Wings
    290. Alex Killorn, LW/RW, Ducks
    291. Joe Veleno, C, Red Wings
    292. Aaron Ekblad, D, Panthers
    293. Michael Amadio, C, Golden Knights
    294. Ridly Greig, C, Senators
    295. Evgenii Dadonov, RW, Stars
    296. Ryan Donato, LW, Blackhawks
    297. Juraj Slafkovsky, LW, Canadiens
    298. Mason Appleton, C/RW, Jets
    299. Adam Lowry, LW, Jets
    300. Brent Burns, D, Hurricanes

    Just missed:
