January Rotisserie Rankings - Skaters

I used the yahoo default league scoring to judge who had the best roto performance among all NHL skaters through January.

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 skaters through the first 4 months of the season.

Alexander the Great, the shot whore (345) leads the way again as the most valuable rotisserie player in fantasy hockey.

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.
