Rankings

The Rankings have been updated for the 2011-12 season for the most part. The goalies, defensemen and prospects are up to date. The Top 100 is also up now, and takes into consideration players coming off injuries as well.
      


Top 25 Prospects (Offseason)       
The list has considerably changed, as it usually does every season. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins heads into the season as the consensus #1 prospect, but that could change really quickly if Brayden Schenn cracks the Philly lineup.       

Top 40 Goaltenders (Offseason)
He didn't win the Vezina, nor did he win the Stanley Cup, but it's not Tim Thomas at the top spot, but Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist.

Top 50 Defensemen (Offseason)       
He might not be signed yet, but Los Angeles Kings blueliner Drew Doughty is the number one occupant heading into the 2011-12 season. Mike Green is still around, but will have to redeem his place atop the rankings with a rebound campaign.          

Top 100 (Offseason)       
As expected, Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby occupy the top two spots, followed by Evgeni Malkin at third. All three didn't have the ideal season expected, but expect a rebound from the trio this season.
