Stats are projected per game. GP is projected games left (starts for goalies), after known injuries. Value is above a replacement-level player in a 12-team league with Yahoo's default roster (2 C, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4 D, 2 G).

How accurate is it?

We re-ran the projections for 8 past seasons (2018-19 through 2025-26), using only what was known before each season, and compared them with what players actually did. The usual shortcut is a weighted average of a player's last three seasons; here's how the model compares.

Average error per game	Model	3-season average
Goals	0.056	0.062
Assists	0.076	0.086
Power-play points	0.042	0.045
Shots on goal	0.276	0.309
Hits	0.297	0.303
Blocks	0.165	0.181
Ice time (minutes)	1.308	1.487
Games played (season)	14.493	16.168
Goalie save %	0.011	0.0118
Goalie wins per start	0.0991	0.1145
Goalie starts (season)	10.7177	11.1514

Of each season's top 100 skaters, the model's top 100 caught 70 on average in categories leagues (68 for the 3-season average) and 67 in points leagues (62).

How the rankings work

Projections: Gradient-boosted models trained on about 10,000 NHL player-seasons learn how players change from their last three seasons: ice time and power-play time (the strongest predictor of scoring), shooting percentage against career norms (hot shooting cools off), age, draft slot, team changes and team strength.
This season: Each player's projection is updated with this season's games, stat by stat: ice time and power-play time take over within a few games, shooting and scoring take much longer.
Goalies: Starts, save percentage, wins and shutouts are projected the same way. Save percentage and GAA count by volume, so a goalie who starts 60 games moves the needle more than a backup. In categories leagues, goalie value is scaled so about as many goalies land in the top 100 as real drafts take (around 11); within the goalies, the order is all model.
Formats: Yahoo defaults. Categories: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HIT (blocks optional); goalies W, GAA, SV%, SO. Points: G 6, A 4, +/- 2, PPP 2, SOG 0.9, BLK 1; goalies W 5, GA -3, SV 0.6, SO 5.
ADP: Average draft position in ESPN leagues (updated 2026-10-07). 215+ means last round or undrafted.
