Below are the top 200 skaters and goalies ranked in descending order based on their value in banger leagues. A typical banger league consists of the following categories:
| Skaters | Goalies |
|---|---|
| Goals | Wins |
| Assists | Goals-against average |
| Plus/minus | Save percentage |
| Penalty minutes | Shutouts |
| Power-play points | |
| Shots on goal | |
| Hits | |
| Blocked shots |
The key difference between a banger league and a standard league is the addition of hits and blocked shots. Though it may seem like a minor difference, the inclusion of those categories can greatly affect the value of players.
