Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey:



Rasmus Dahlin

Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy.


Cale Makar

Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado.


Roman Josi

Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last year's total. Although Josi isn't having the year that he was last season, he certainly has been amongst the top-performing defenseman in fantasy this year. Watch out for Josi in the second half because if Nashville is to make a playoff push, Josi will have to be a major part of it.



Josh Morrissey

Josh Morrissey is having a career year this season with the Winnipeg Jets, putting up 8 goals, 40 assists, 19 PPP and 4 GWG, with a +11 rating. He has been a major part of the Winnipeg Jets' success early this season, and if he keeps up this scoring pace, will be on track for new career highs.


Erik Karlsson

Erik Karlsson is having a bounce-back season for the ages, putting up 14 goals, 44 assists, 16 PPP, 121 SOG, 3 GWG, and a -6 rating. This has been far and away his best season as a San Jose Shark, and it's not a coincidence that it occurred after the Sharks traded away Brent Burns. Karlsson is on pace for his best season since 2016-17, when he was considered to be one of the league's best defensemen.


Adam Fox

Adam Fox has been one of the best New York Rangers this season, tallying 9 goals, 36 assists, 15 PPP, along with 101 SOG, 4 GWG and a +19 rating. As great as Fox has been, it will pale in comparison to the other defenseman who is on this list.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

Fantasy Hockey Advice Players to Trade Away

Here are some players you should Trade Away: Brock Nelson Brock Nelson has a track record of having hot starts to the season and then cooling off in the second half of the season. Nelson already has 11 goals, 22 points, and 6 PPP so far this season, but his best scoring season was last year when he had 37 goals and 59 points. It's already established what type of player Brock Nelson is, he is a player who excels in the first half of the season but cools off in the second half. For this reason, it would be best to trade away Brock Nelson.  Dominik Kubalik Dominik Kubalik is arguably the biggest steal in fantasy hockey this season, as he wasn't drafted in many leagues, however, his hot start has him rostered in 81% of Fantasy leagues. Kubalik has 9 goals, 13 assists, 10 PPP, and is a +4 so far this season, playing on a line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond and Detroit's 1st PP unit. It would be a good idea to trade Kubalik now while his value is sky-high. Martin Necas Mart...
