Type: offense, offensive-small, power forward, two-way.

Top 50 defensemen will be up tomorrow.

Curious is you forgot about tanner kero (CHI) or if in fact you don’t think he should be in this list??

  He’s at 231 but I honestly missed him, I should have adjusted his variables. I made the changes now and next month he should be in the Top 175

    Ok thx
    But have to be honest and say I think that is a bit low still as the hawks are always in cap trouble I see him getting more opportunities that a guy with similar skill set would get.

      I wouldn’t rule that out, you could be right. But I won’t be drafting him this summer (15 teams, full keeper, 35 players per team)
      - Oilers rock 99 2017-04-22 at 03:56
        
        Guess depending on you scoring format
        He has duel C/Rw on fantrax which is what we use and his muilty category stats are good too averaging a hit and block plus dud well in playoff faceoffs centering kane and panarin
        You may want to take this guy as a dark horse he is the next cam Atkinson…:)

Wondering why Alexander Khokhlachev seems to be rising month by month. Is this based on performance in the KHL or suspicions of his return to the NHL?
