February 13th update: lots of movement this week as teams get cracking once again post-All Star break. We're entering the final stretch towards the playoffs, with many fantasy trade deadlines approaching. Time to take stock.
Our fantasy hockey forward rankings project the next 1 to 2 seasons, and consider each player's track record, upside, age, team and injury history. Because fantasy hockey league categories vary widely, these rankings focus on point production. Notes made in previous rankings may carry over to new rankings if they remain relevant.
