It’s that time again! The greatest sport in the world (maybe) returns to televisions everywhere on October 10th and so your fantasy drafts will (should) be commencing in the next week or so. To get you ready, I’ve prepared my Top 250 Player list, color-coded by position. To clarify, this list is strictly for redraft leagues, not keepers, and based on the following stats: goals, assists, plus-minus, shots, power-play points, hits, blocks, wins, goals-against average, saves, save percentage and shutouts. 

One thing I’ll add is that although it is not an awful strategy drafting guys playing for playoff contenders, just remember this sport offers so many opportunities for talent to shine past team performance. The last thing to keep in mind are those players that are likely or have been rumored to be on the trade block. With that, let’s get to the list!
