With training camps opening this week, it's about time for a refresh on the rankings. These rankings are based on expectations of fantasy points produced until the end of the season. Fantasy points are based on the ESPN Fantasy standard game (goals = 2 points, assists = 1 point, shots and hits = 0.1 points, blocked shots and special-teams points = 0.5 points; wins = 4 points, OT losses = 1 point, shutouts = 3 points, saves = 0.2 points, goals against = -2 points).
The projections for the rankings use a combination of individual stats, age-comparable stats, team stats and some manual estimations.
