Here are the Top 100 defensemen to own in your points-only keeper leagues – November edition!
We have ourselves a brand new leader! That tends to happen when a player scores at such a prolific pace.
As always, defensemen within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered virtually equal and at that point become a matter of personal preference or team need. Please click on a player name and check out his fantasy hockey profile because it will really help you. Honest.
Check out the Top 300 skaters (posted Sunday) here.
