NHL Fantasy Rankings: Defensemen

February 18, 2010 by Kurt Turner

Mike Green

You should never be comfortable with your fantasy team, always be looking for ways to improve your squad as you gear up for a long playoff run.  As the NHL hits their Olympic Break it is a perfect time to sit back and examine what we come in the final six weeks of action.

Having  a defensemen, though does not produce the point totals of a forward, that contributes in the fringe categories (plus minus, power play points, PIM) is usually the difference between a good team and a championship team.  Although most of the top list players are taken, they are still targets for your team to acquire during your leagues trade deadline.  It might even be worth to trade a scoring depth forward for a top line defender.

As we saw in the NHL Fantasy Rankings for Goalies there were some surprise goalies, which will make a huge fantasy impact down the stretch.  That is the same feeling among the best blue liners in the league as time winds down on the NHL and Fantasy seasons

Here are the Olympic Break rankings for defensemen:
