Here are the Top 50 prospect blueliners to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – August edition!

First an announcement. DobberHockey’s 16th annual Fantasy Hockey Guide is out now, fully updated and ready for download. Pick it up here!

The 2021 drafted players are now in the template, and here are the results. They haven’t made quite the splash that they do in normal draft years – a reflection of a weaker class.

As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and at that point become a matter of team need or personal bias. Click any name to be taken to his customized fantasy hockey scouting profile.
