Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only keeper leagues – February edition!

Some movement at the top end again, as with the Top 200 Prospect Forwards. But this time we have a new number one! Adam Boqvist is showing that he’s just not ready to contribute points to fantasy teams this year, and not providing much hope that he will do so next season either. That year-and-a-half wait impacts his overall value and sinks him a bit. Meanwhile, Ty Smith is putting up points like nobody’s business. Can he be on my team please?

As always, players rated within +/- 5.0 ratings of each other should be considered equal value and at that point are a matter of team need (i.e. can wait or need help now, versus high upside, versus NHL certainty) or personal bias.
