Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Defenseman to Pickup

Here are some defensemen you should pick up on the waiver wire

Ryan Graves

Ryan Graves is definitely a defenseman you want to scoop up quickly if he is still available on your waiver wire. Graves has been terrific for the New Jersey Devils this season, with 6 goals, 13 assists, 97 SOG, 110 blocks, and a +31 rating. In the last two weeks, Graves has 3 points, 20 SOG, 23 blocks, 1 GWG, and a +4 rating, which makes him the 29th-ranked defenseman overall in that timespan.

Sam Girard

Sam Girard is a frustrating player to own in fantasy hockey at times, but when he has a hot streak, he can be a league winner. Girard has 6 assists, 1 PPP, 1 GWG, 10 SOG, 10 hits, and 13 blocks in the last two weeks and has been tremendous for Colorado. Girard is owned in 26% of fantasy leagues, so he might not be available, but if he is, you may want to pick him up.

Adam Boqvist

Adam Boqvist is finally showing flashes of what made him a high pick back in the 2018 draft, so much so he was selected over the likes of Noah Dobson and K'Andre Miller. After missing a large chunk of the season due to injury, Adam Boqvist has played great as of late, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 3 PPP, 10 SOG, 1 GWG and a +1 rating. Boqvist is owned in 10% of fantasy leagues, if you need a player who can chip in occasionally on the man advantage, he isn't a bad option.

Jake McCabe

One of the most underrated players all season long has been Jake McCabe; in fact, he has been one of the few bright spots on the team. McCabe has 2 goals, 17 assists, 119 hits, 114 blocks, and a +5 rating, and in the past two weeks, he has 5 assists, 12 SOG, 19 hits, 16 blocks, He is owned in only 9% of fantasy leagues, so if you are in a banger league, he is a player who could end up winning your league.

Michael Matheson

Michael Matheson has been fantastic for the Montreal Canadiens in the last two weeks, he has 2 goals, 4 assists, 1 PPP, 10 hits, 13 blocks, and a +6 rating. Since Montreal isn't that great right now, Matheson is getting the chance to play top pair minutes and even gets time on the 1st PP unit. Matheson is owned in 9% of fantasy leagues, so if he is still available, he could be a decent pickup.

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 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 yea...
