Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only keeper leagues…October edition
This month's changes are based on training camp results and performance. I hope I caught them all, there was obviously a lot to track.
As always, players within +/- 5.0 ratings of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of personal preference or team needs. o=offense, os=offensive small, p=power forward t=two-way
Prospect Forwards list was up yesterday (click here). You can check out all our monthly lists (Keeper, Goalie, Prospect, Roto) via the "Rankings" link in the main menu, or click here…
