Here are the top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – April edition!
But first – I want to give you a free Interactive Playoff Draft List!
How?
- Follow Goalie Post on X (here)
- Download the free app at the Apple Store here or the Android store here
- Reply to this post with a screenshot of the app in your library, or of the starting goalie page in your app. Or if you prefer Blue Sky, this post. You do not need to ‘like’ this post. REPLY with the screenshot of the app.
- That’s it! We’ll DM you a coupon code to get the Draft List for free (just give us a couple of hours). Odds of winning are 100%! We’ve already given away over 100!

Download the FREE Goalie Post App – for win probabilities and save projections for each starting goaltender. Download at the Apple Store here or the Android store here. I want you to try this app so badly that I’m pretty much paying you $10 to do it! (and if you could rate and/or review, so much the better!)
And now onto the list. As always, prospects rated between +/-5.0 rating points should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team need or personal bias.
