Top 120 Keeper League Defensemen – June 2025

Dobber

2025-06-09

Here are the top 120 blueliners to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – June edition!

Did you know that the Fantasy Prospects Report is now out? Get the lowdown on each NHL team’s farm system – over 600 players profiled with fantasy outlooks, upsides and wait times, including the draftees who will find new teams later this month at the NHL Draft. Pick it up here.

This month in the Rankings, I put in all the unrestricted free agents, which resulted in a bit of shuffling (but not much). Also a couple of tweaks based on playoff performance.

As always, players between +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value. Click any player name to be taken to his fantasy hockey profile page (customized by yours truly – everything you want to know about him for your fantasy league).
