Top 50 Fantasy Prospect Defensemen – May 2023

Dobber

2023-05-13

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

Available for Pre-Order: All of next season’s offerings are in the shop! The 17th annual Fantasy Prospects Report will be out on June 1 (order it here), or pre-order one of our packages (Keeper League Pack here, and Ultimate Fantasy Pack here). Or simply subscribe!

Click any player name to be taken to his scouting profile section and get everything you need in order to evaluate the player.

Follow me on Twitter (@DobberHockey) for fantasy hockey insight and alerts and links when the latest player rankings come out.

As always, players ranked within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value, and at that point become a matter of your keeper team’s needs (immediate help vs long-term upside) or personal preference.

Note: We are in the process of researching/putting together our annual Fantasy Prospects Report. So while some of the prospects below have been updated and adjusted, others have not. For next month (and in the FPR itself), all prospects will be adjusted and I would consider that chart the most accurate of the year.
