2023-24 Fantasy Hockey Cap-Efficiency Rankings

Which NHL players return the most projected 2023-24 production per dollar of cap hit — the ranking that decides a cap league, where the best player is routinely the wrong pick.

Updated October 3, 2026

Projected points divided by cap hit, ranked within each position. Entry-level contracts dominate this list, and that is the finding rather than a flaw: a 30-point rookie at under a million returns more per dollar than a star on a maximum deal. The last column is how far a player moves versus the straight point ranking. Projections are built from 2022-23 production; cap hits are the current contract on file.

84 ranked players are left out here — no contract on file, which is not the same as being cheap. Showing the top 100 of 336 ranked.

These use one simple scoring profile, so your own league's totals will differ.

Run your league on these numbers

FanPoolHQ is a commissioner platform for fantasy hockey: rosters under a salary cap, four draft types with live updates, trades that need approving, and scoring you configure yourself. Projections like these are computed against your league's own scoring, not this one.
