Flip me an email at hockeypoolhq@yahoo.ca and I'll have a look if you give me the details - hard to give advice if I don't know the rules, roster make up, etc. Cheers - Russ Fri, 12 Nov 2010 13:09:50 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9763 Hi Russ, Great column on D-Men in East and their projections. Will you be doing the same in the West? Great read! Really enjoyed it! I hope to hear from you soon. PS As a newbie to fantasy hockey, can I email you my 1 year points only team and get some feedback on what I should do to mix it up? I'm currently in 2nd just a few points out of 1st. Cheers! - Mitch Grave Fri, 12 Nov 2010 13:02:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9746 Oh and it was a 10 team league, so my D depth could have been much better, but it's not as crucial, especially in H2H leagues if you have strength elsewhere. - horrorfan Fri, 12 Nov 2010 05:09:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9745 The value of D completely depends on the type of league, its depth vs forwards and categories used. Last year in my H2H league, we started 4 at each skater position with the categories G,A,+/-,PIM,PPP,SOG. I ended winning the league with Enstrom and Suter as my top 2 defenseman, and in the latter part of the season and playoffs I only started 3 in total. However, if you add more starting positions (or increase the ratio) and include categories such as Hits and Blocked Shots, then they are more valuable. In roto they tend to me more valuable as it relies on cumulative production, so in non-shallow leagues it helps to have a solid D corps. - horrorfan Fri, 12 Nov 2010 05:06:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9740 Never be ashamed to be a D whore. Too many fantasy owners ignore or undervalue D, at their peril. (They obviously don't read this site.) Two thumbs up. - Steffen Thu, 11 Nov 2010 16:03:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9737 Extremely helpful. Just wanting to upgrade D in a couple pools. Waiver wire here I come . . . - Budde Thu, 11 Nov 2010 13:23:22 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9734 i loveee how you added the pnt totals on the season to give us readers a better gauge when analyzing your article. kinda drove me crazy on yesterdays article. hope both you guys include pnt totals for the next three! good stuff, thanks! - Chandan Singh Thu, 11 Nov 2010 11:03:15 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9733 Yup, Toews, Perry, E.Staal, Kovalchuk follow Ovechkin and Crosby in Average Time On Ice. - Russ Miller Thu, 11 Nov 2010 09:19:51 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9729 Toews, Perry, Staal are 3-5 - RZ Thu, 11 Nov 2010 07:04:53 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9728 Awesome summary Russ!! Great value in these. I think the buy/low/hold status was bang on for just about everybody. ATOI - I guessed & checked and finally got one right! (Surprised who the 4th & 6th forwards were thought.) :o - Pengwin7 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 06:48:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3239-fantasy-indicators-of-success-defensemen#comment-9727 Jonathan Toews - Carson Campbell Thu, 11 Nov 2010 06:41:51 +0100
