Standard fantasy categories: goals, assists, plus/minus, power play points, shots on goal, and skater hits. Value has been quantified based on factors including, but not limited to, past regular season and Stanley Cup Playoff production, line combinations, injury history or issues, age, contract status and overall increase for the remainder of the 2023-2024 season. Advanced positions indicate eligibility in Yahoo Fantasy leagues (subject to change, but positions cannot be removed during the season). This list is a collaborative effort by Pete Jensen and Anna Dua.
