Bangers Fantasy Hockey 2024-25 Projections and rankings available for free. Best for leagues with G, A, STP, SOG, PIM, Hits and Blocks. Includes a list if you don’t count PIM. What sets my rankings apart is my Banger score: a weighted formula that considers category scarcity and interdependency.

Banger league advice: If you're going to draft someone from the marshmallow squad, make sure you balance that out with a beefer or two 🥊

Would this point setup be considered a banger league?

What players had abnormally high/low shooting percentages last year? Recommendations on how to find those stats?

Anybody else unreasonably high on Owen Tippett this year? Last year at 5v5, he was 2nd in iCF/60. Forsberg is the only player last year to generate more individual chances for per 60 at 5v5 than Tippett, and just by a hair. He was also ranked 1st in SOG/60, no one chucked more pucks on net per 60.

[TJStats] Quinton Byfield broke out last season with 55 Points after a promotion to L1. He looks primed to build upon his success as he projects to be a key contributor to the LA Kings Top 6 and PP1 again. The former 2nd overall pick looks to be a great pick late in drafts!

Boldy is criminally underrated. 75 point pace last year and in his final 40 GP he paced for 86 points, 35 PPPs and 269 shots. He'll be stapled with Kaprizov. In his final 20 GP, Hynes was playing him > 20 mins TOI. His 9.74 5v5 iSCF/60 was 28th in the league alongside guys like Barkov and MacKinnon.

[TJStats] Joel Eriksson Ek continues to be undervalued for the 3rd consecutive season. He is one of the most consistent banger league options, and is typically available in the mid-rounds. His ADP is up to ~60 this season, but he projects to be a top 30 forward in banger leagues again!

Controversial take: Don't be the guy who spends a first round pick on Jack Hughes in a banger league. He's undoubtedly a brilliant offensive wizard, but he’s a glaring liability when it comes to banger cats: 10 hits in 62 games. Some guys cross that mark in a single game…

[TJStats] The more I read about Brock Faber, the more I feel that he will break out! The Minnesota sophomore was excellent in his rookie season and is entrenched in both a Top Pairing and PP1 Role. The offensive upside is tantalizing, especially on Minnesota's seemingly underrated Power Play

How do we think Slaf does this year? Could be huge value in banger leagues. In the second half last year he had an 82 game pace of 32 goals, 38 assists, 70 points, 60 PIMs, 194 shots, 152 hits, and a lovely 24 PPP. He's worth a 5th or 6th round pick in banger leagues but you can get him much later.
