Top 100 Keeper League Defensemen – February 2018

Dobber

2018-02-05

 

The Top 100 defensemen to own in your points-only keeper leagues, February edition.

 

Remember, this is a points-only format ranking and while I try to properly blend immediate results with long-term potential, individual team needs are going to be different. I would suggest using the +/- 5.0 rating points format – players within +/- 5.0 ratings of each other should be considered equal and would depend on your needs and preferences.

    How do you see Ekman-Larsson’s ranking changing if he is dealt to a competitor at deadline or in the offseason, or if we see a significant improvement from the Arizona Coyotes next year?
    We are able to keep 2 defensemen in our league, and I am trying to decide between OEL, McAvoy and Pietrangelo

    G A +/- SOG PPP HIT FW BLK

    A recommendation: the previous month’s numbers are almost meaningless. Would be much better to compare the Dmen in this list to each other…It is not easy to see who has increased/decreased their stock this month.

    Shocked there is no Vince Dunn on this list.

    • François-Xavier Ringuet 2018-02-15 at 12:43

      Me too.

      It is even more surprising that Jake Walman and Jordan Schmaltz are making that list, while they are ranked after Dunn in the prospect list for February. I am curious about what it means..?

      • Dobber 2018-02-15 at 12:57

        Dunn just missed the cut, barely. I don’t see nearly the offensive upside that Walman and Schmaltz have. Walman and Schmaltz are both drafted in my deep league, but I don’t think I’d even put Dunn my list to draft in the coming summer
