Dobber
2018-02-13
Here are the Top 50 prospect blueliners to own in your points-only fantasy hockey keeper league, February edition!
As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and at that point would depend on your team needs (NHL-ready but lower upside, or several years away with high upside) and personal biases. The top forwards list was out Monday – click here. Click any name to be taken to their DobberProspects scouting profile.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – Permission To Cut
Jeremy and Shams cover the usual headlines and injuries but get your permission slips out as the second half of the show they cover a litany of suggested players from the Patreon community to give their input on whether it’s ok to cut that big name player off your fantasy team.
Is there a reason why Filip Hronek is still not part of the top 50?
-2nd in AHL for points by rookie defenceman (10th in all D)
-Carries on much more offence then Saarijarvi in the same team, while being 1 year younger.
-Best +- in his team by far. (+21)
-Is in an organisation where he can quickly climb on the depth chart and will maybe get a call-up this year.
Is it something in his game that I did not notice because, from my point of view, he looks like a steal in the 2nd round of the 2016 draft.
He’s 79th, thanks for bringing it to my attention
You’re welcome. Thank you for sharing this list!
*Sees no MIN D in your top 50* *Understands why and leaves*
haha
Yeah, no one elite. They have three in the Top 80 but zero in the Top 60
Just curious, on the Prospects Rankings Theodore is 4.2 points higher than Butcher but on the Keeper Rankings Butcher is 11.4 points higher than Theodore.
How should I read this?
Butcher is helping more right now, and immediacy has more weight in the full keeper rankings and less weight in these ones
I read your stuff all the time man, keep up the good work! My fantasy keeper Squad sends its regards *tips hat*
