As you might expect, there was a fair amount of movement in this month's rankings.
Although the rankings are based on expected performance from this point FORWARD, year-to-date production was factored in as well. Centres like Stephen Weiss, Martin Hanzal, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins were not highly drafted but are producing well, are in good situations, and are ranked accordingly.
