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 17th 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!
