Here are the top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only fantasy hockey keeper leagues – August edition!
Not a whole lot of changes this month, just some tweaks. As always, players within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and at that point are based on personal bias or team need.
