Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only keeper leagues, June edition.

This is the final analysis/audit pre-draft. The players were fully reviewed by myself and the DobberProspects staff for the Fantasy Prospects Report (buy it here). The NHL draft later this month will no doubt knock a dozen of these names off the list. Players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should generally be considered equal value and at that point it becomes a matter of personal preference and team need.

This is the end of our "WEEK OF RANKINGS"! Thursday was the Top 100 Goalies (here), Friday was the Top 300 Keeper Skaters (here), Saturday was the Top 100 Keeper Defensemen (here) and Sunday the Top 200 Prospect Forwards were posted (here). Be sure to check them all and start the trade talks with your pals! Remember, you can always access all of the previous rankings via the main menu at the top, or the "hockey rankings" text under the title above.

Pick up the 12th annual DobberHockey Fantasy Prospects Report here! (Hint: if you buy the Keeper League Fantasy Pack, then the Fantasy Guide works out to just an additional $2)
