October Rotisserie Rankings - Rookies


I used the yahoo default league scoring to judge who had the best roto performance among all NHL rookies in October.

Goals/Assists/Plus-Minus/Power Play Points/PIMS/Shots on Goal

Now these rankings are not on projected basis or positional importance. They are based on who actually performed the best in the roto categories amongst all NHL rookies in October.

Columbus Blue Jacket rookie Derick "ONE R" Brassard leads the way in October. The chosen one Steven Stamkos ranks third, all you doubting owners...breathe and relax. Players who played less than 5 games were not considered.

1. Derick Brassard (CBJ -C)
2. Oscar Moller (LAK - C)
3. Steven Stamkos (TB - C)
4. Kris Versteeg (CHI - RW)
5. Jakub Voracek (CBJ - RW)
6. Patric Hornqvist (NSH - RW)
7. Troy Brouwer (Chi - RW)
8. Mikhail Grabovski (TOR - C)
9. Jack Skille (CHI - RW)
10. Mikkel Boedker (PHX - RW)
11. Jannik Hansen (Van - RW)
12. Brandon Sutter (Car - RW)
13. Ryan Jones (Nas - RW)
14. Nikolai Kulemin (TOR - LW)
15. Kyle Okposo (NYI - RW)
16. Fabian Brunnstrom (Dal - LW)
17. Patrik Berglund (STL - C)
18. Alex Goligoski (PIT - D)
19. Blake Wheeler (BOS - LW)
20. Luca Sbisa (PHI - D)
21. James Neal (DAL - LW)
22. Kevin Klein (NAS - D)
23. Viktor Tikhonov (PHX - RW)
24. T.J. Oshie (STL - C)
25. Tomas Plihal (SJS - C)

Bubble: John Mitchell, Benoit Poiliot, Luke Schenn, Andreas Nodl, Drew Doughty, Rick Rypien, Brian Boyle, Chris Porter, Kyle Turris

Now this is the result of weighting all categories equally which rotisserie rankings do. Being number one in goal scoring is the same as being number one in penalty minutes. It is one of the reasons I don't believe in PIMs in Fantasy Hockey.
