Top 50 Fantasy Prospect Defensemen – April, 2023

Dobber

2023-04-17

Here are the top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – April edition!

As always, players rated between +/- 5.0 points of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team needs (reliability vs. upside vs. floor vs. wait time, etc.) and personal bias. Click any player name to be taken to our DobberProspects player profile.

The 17^th annual DobberHockey Interactive Playoff Draft List is now available for download. Injury notes updated. You can run multiple scenarios and sort in multiple ways. I generally run two scenarios and head into the draft with both. Then I run with whichever list I get a jump on the top players early and by the third round I discard the other list. Besides running your own scenario, I also include my own picks. You can pick up the (winning) Draft List – here!
