**Master Your Fantasy Hockey Draft with Tiered Rankings**
You’ve made your last draft pick with confidence, but as the picks start to snake away from you, you begin to load up on players in your queue. You expect them to still be available when it’s your turn again. But, disaster strikes! Someone takes your sleeper pick, and then your veteran backup is snatched up right before your pick. Don’t let this happen to you. Use tiered rankings to dominate your draft.
Tiered rankings are like having Batman’s utility belt – you’re always ready for whatever your opponents throw at you. By grouping your personal picks together in tiers, you’re prepared for any scenario. You can see my projected standard scoring points next to each player below. Use my tiers or create your own from default rankings or other sources.
**Tier 1: The Elite**
1. Connor McDavid, C, Edmonton Oilers: (projected: 267.5)
2. Nathan MacKinnon, C, Colorado Avalanche: (projected: 262.2)
3. Auston Matthews, C, Toronto Maple Leafs: (projected: 258.6)
**Tier 2: The Next Best**
4. David Pastrnak, W, Boston Bruins: (projected: 227.5)
5. Leon Draisaitl, C, Edmonton Oilers: (projected: 227.1)
6. Nikita Kucherov, W, Tampa Bay Lightning: (projected: 221.7)
7. Mikko Rantanen, W, Colorado Avalanche: (projected: 221.2)
**Tier 3: Reliable Forwards**
8. Jack Hughes, C, New Jersey Devils: (projected: 206.2)
9. J.T. Miller, C, Vancouver Canucks: (projected: 204.9)
10. Elias Pettersson, C, Vancouver Canucks: (projected: 204.0)
…and so on, all the way to Tier 9 and beyond. Remember to focus on upside and target players you believe in, rather than just drafting based on projections. Happy drafting!
