Defensive points in my pool are as follows:
goal = 2
assist = 1
+/- = 1
PIM = 0.5

Points are highly valued, but overall value is greatly impacted by the defenseman\'s ability to mix it up physically while still playing smart, responsible hockey (playing on a responsible team helps too).

Who do you think will be the biggest surprises or improved defensemen for next season factored into this scoring system?

If I didn\'t own them already, I\'d be going after Keith Ballard and M-A Bergeron. Ballard will recover from his off-year - he\'s got too much character and talent not to, and his price is as low as it\'ll ever be - and MAB is just coming into his own in Long Island.

I expect to see the two combine for 100+ points next season.

Consider:

Souray UFA, depending on where he ends up could be monstrous in that scoring format. 64 pts, -28, 135 pen mins. Plus minus is team dependant, watch where he goes, if he stays with MTL, expect a little better +/-

Chara BOS, 43 pts -21, 100 pen mins. BOS should be better next year.

Pitkanen PHI, 43 pts, -25, 88 pen mins. PHI will be better as well next year. I hate plus minus, can\'t predict from one year to the next.

Thanks. MAB was on my radar after his good run in Long Island. Chara was also someone I was watching b/c he is often a better +/-, but is usually gold for some points coupled with good penalty minutes.

What about K. Bieksa?

Shea Weber is also an option. Scored 17 goals this year 23 assists, likes to mix it up with 60 penalty minutes and will log huge powerplay time this year.
