Below are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in fantasy hockey – November edition.

Yesterday I posted The Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards. As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and at that point would depend on team need or personal taste.

Factors include wait time, upside, NHL certainty. Click on a player name to be taken to our fantasy profile written up by our team scouts

Please explain why you have Madison Bowey at 15 but no Christian Djoos in the top 50? Djoos is the better offensive dmen.

  Sorry I guess I just don’t feel the same way

  Yeah, agreed, he could be in there.

  He’s 57th, and by the +/- rule in my disclosure that could be as high as 34th.
  I don’t believe Djoos is better offensively – numbers at the age of 21 in the AHL were same as Bowey’s last year (at 21) and Bowey blew away the WHL.

    57th is reasonable since there is not much difference between 15 and 57.
    I think these two players are the same age since they are only 8 months apart and they have been teammates for their entire North American pro careers. Djoos offensive numbers in their 2nd AHL season were significantly better than Bowey’s. That is the reason I would have Djoos over Bowey in any ranking for a points only format.

Should be interesting to see how Clague’s game translates in the NHL. No prospect in the CHL has had a bigger offensive improvement this year.

No love for Adam Fox still?

  No love. just 100% hate. Hate him!
  Kidding.
  Fox sits 80th and by the rule of +/-5.0 (read disclosure at the top) that could be as high as 40th.
