Thanks, though should have mentioned there's an 82 game maximum per position so I'll be limited on how often I use my bench. That being said, a bunch of these guys I'm sure will get a few bumps and bruises and miss some games so it might be ok.

For a little bit of something outside the box, you can look at home team advantages for hits and blocks. They're very subjective arena to arena. You can apply multipliers to players that are changing teams. A big one to note is Steve Ott. Dallas players had a ton of hits called at home versus on the road. Ott's move to Buffalo, who is much more conservative in giving out "hits", will drop his hits total by ~44 based solely on changing his home arena. This is based on his 308 full season pace last season, divided by Dallas' multiplier of 1.08 and multiplied by Buffalo's multiplier of 0.93

Multipliers (based on 50% influence of home arena and 50% influence of neutral arena which represents 41 home games and 41 away games respectively):

Team, Hits, Blocks

CHICAGO, 1.20, 0.95
PHOENIX, 1.15, 1.03
FLORIDA, 1.13, 0.98
TORONTO, 1.11, 1.13
WASHINGTON, 1.11, 1.03
DETROIT, 1.09, 0.93
DALLAS, 1.08, 1.12
LOS ANGELES, 1.06, 0.92
VANCOUVER, 1.06, 1.05
PHILADELPHIA, 1.06, 1.01
COLUMBUS, 1.05, 0.92
ANAHEIM, 1.04, 1.01
NY ISLANDERS, 1.03, 1.02
OTTAWA, 1.01, 1.01
WINNIPEG, 1.00, 0.96
SAN JOSE, 0.99, 1.11
TAMPA BAY, 0.99, 1.02
MONTREAL, 0.99, 1.12
NY RANGERS, 0.97, 1.01
BOSTON, 0.95, 0.91
CAROLINA, 0.94, 1.09
BUFFALO, 0.93, 0.93
PITTSBURGH, 0.92, 1.06
NASHVILLE, 0.91, 0.94
ST LOUIS, 0.91, 1.00
COLORADO, 0.90, 1.00
MINNESOTA, 0.89, 0.93
EDMONTON, 0.86, 1.13
NEW JERSEY, 0.86, 0.77
CALGARY, 0.83, 0.91

Hits show more of a variation than blocks, but both are significant in some cases. New Jersey is extremely stingy in giving out blocked shots to their players, and Chicago will give their players a hit if they so much as makes a mean face at an opposing player.

A few that come to mind:

Derek Dorsett
Marc-Andre Bourdon
Andrew Shaw
Jay Harrison
Marcus Foligno
Dan Carcillo
Deryk Engelland
Brian Boyle
Zack Smith
Tim Gleason
Ryan White
Brandon Prust

Just a follow-up to my last post, but Dennis Wideman is another one that will see a big hit to his value. His estimated 100/130 values for hits and blocks gets knocked down to 75/115. This is based on the arena change from Washington to Calgary. Obviously there are other factors such as playing time, teammates, etc to consider.

Thanks guys, very much appreciated. The commish has decided to hold off on drafting for now so I'll have a bit more time to tweak the rankings.

Leo Komarov would be very deep sleeper in this kind of league. If there's a season and he makes the Leafs, he'll be solid in this kind of league.
