Fantasy Hockey Is Back (and So Are the Rankings)

In case you hadn't heard already, Yahoo Fantasy Hockey is back in business for the upcoming season. With it are the Yahoo top 100 rankings, no doubt subject to change and plenty of argument. So I set out to be the man on the street (except using Twitter instead of a street) to ask for Twitter's thoughts. Here are some excerpts of the lengthy conversation that I started:

The Yahoo Fantasy Hockey top 100 rankings are out! Thoughts? http://t.co/cqp3c1Met9

@ChrisWasselTHW At first glance, the top 20 seem all right. After that, a few surprises. Sedins ranked awfully low.

@ChrisWasselTHW @Ian_Gooding I don't see how Crosby isn't the no. 1 overall pick in every draft this year

@thehockeyhitman @Ian_Gooding If he plays like he did in the last 25-30 games in any stretch this year...there is reason.

@thehockeyhitman @ChrisWasselTHW @Ian_Gooding Johnston isn't going to come in and tone Crosby down. Not what they hired him for.

@thehockeyhitman @Ian_Gooding I have Crosby at 97 points. Could be wrong but hey....its fun to go outside the box.

@FranklinSteele @ChrisWasselTHW @Ian_Gooding Not including if Letang can stay healthy...and seemingly improved depth throughout fwd ranks
— Randall (@thehockeyhitman) August 23, 2014

@thehockeyhitman @ChrisWasselTHW @Ian_Gooding I'll take 65 games out of Letang over any No. 3 or some no. 2 defenders.

@Ian_Gooding @FantasyHockeyDK I'm trying to get through top 10! Not feeling Perry at 3. Geno, Ovi, Getzlaf (and maybe Tavares and G) ahead

@ChrisWasselTHW @thehockeyhitman What'd you predict for Lundqvist? Drop off?
— Franklin Steele (@FranklinSteele) August 23, 2014

@FranklinSteele @thehockeyhitman I did last year. This year might play a few less games...might. Numbers close to same.
— Chris Wassel (@ChrisWasselTHW) August 23, 2014

@ChrisWasselTHW @FranklinSteele @thehockeyhitman Crosby 1, Stamkos 2, after that a free for all. Ovi maybe 3, assuming he's not -35 again.

@Ian_Gooding @FantasyHockeyDK Blake wheeler. Most underrated fantasy hockey player.
