One of my favorite things to read and write about is the failures of the rankings of popular sports websites.  Every year, I'm excited to read Grey destroying the rankings of ESPN, Yahoo, etc.  Well, normally I spend my time crucifying ESPN, but they changed their rankings to reflect a point system that is absolutely atrocious.  Additionally, their projections are so bad that if you need a laugh, I highly suggest checking them out.  Maybe you think Max Domi will magically play 140 games too, or that Robert Thomas won't play a game this season!  The point projections are completely out of whack as well.  Instead, I'm going to focus on the consensus rankings of the Yahoo! staff, and show you where their downfalls are so you can exploit them if you draft on their website.  Let's get to it!
We're moving to the last part of my rankings before my top 200 list today with the second part of the forward rankings.  You can read part one here.  I'm going to go about this part of the rankings a bit different than usual.  I'm going to do a "best of the rest" section to start off, then I'm going to break down the rest of the forwards into three categories: safe, upside, and specialists.  Once you get through the "best of the rest" forwards, we'll be well past the top 100 overall, so at that point in the draft, you need to be targeting what you need.  Therefore, following a strict rankings list wouldn't really be the best thing you could do for your team.  Obviously ask any questions you have in the comments section, but I suspect that this help quite a bit in the later parts of drafts as a supplement to my top 200 list.  Let's get to it!
It's time to get rolling with my fantasy hockey rankings.  Instead of starting with my top 10 and going from there, I'm going to be starting with goaltenders today, defensemen Tuesday, and then forwards and my top 200 by the end of the week.  I will be ranking the guys in order, but I am putting more focus on tiers than the exact rankings of players.  I will be writing in detail about guys that I aggressive with in my rankings, either because I like them a lot or also don't want anything to do with them.  Let's get to it!
