Here are the Top 50 defensemen to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – December edition!

Free Starting goalie notifications!
The Goalie Post app is FREE, and it includes my own formula for each starter’s odds of winning. It also projects saves for each goalie based on recent performance of the goalie, his team and the opposition! Get it on iOS here or Android here.

As always, players with a rating within +/-5.0 of each other should be considered equal value.

Click on any player name to be taken to his fantasy hockey profile, which I customized to best suit what you need to evaluate the player’s value.
