2019-06-11
Here are the top prospect defensemen to own in your points-only keeper league – June edition!
This is the big month! The annual audit. A thorough reckoning of all the prospects, player by player, with tremendous feedback from the writer/scouts over at DobberProspects. All in preparation for the recently released 13th annual Fantasy Prospects Report (pick that up right now – here): over 400 drafted players profiled, and over 100 2019 draftees fully profiled. Not just from a real-world standpoint, but also with an on fantasy hockey leagues. What is their upside? Wait time? How much of a sure thing are they? If all goes perfectly well, who is a good player comparable? It's all there. If you are wondering why other owners in your keeper league keep hitting homeruns on their prospects – it's because they shell out a few extra bucks to pick up this amazing document.
Yesterday I posted the Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards – check it out here
As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and at that point become just a matter of team need or personal bias. Click on a player name to be taken to our scouting report on that player.
This is the last month until the 2019 draftees get added, so many of these names you won't see on this list again! So get your emotional goodbyes out of the way…
