If you have someone at or near the top of this list, my recommendation is to trade him now while his value is high. Odds are that his value will be lower next year.

Karlsson, Byfuglien, Green, OEL, Carlson and Keith. Too bad Corvo sucked this year. I love the article. I'm not just saying that!

As I said in the intro - a tough list to put together. A few things... Yandle - I'm scared of the OEL factor Edler - no competition, great PP for next three years - money in the bank for 45+ pts Green - sure, he isn't the same player, but it is a risk I would still take - Jeff Angus Sat, 21 Apr 2012 09:40:34 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4577-top-10-keeper-league-defensemen#comment-20508 His numbers are amazing considering the total number of goals his team scored, in comparison to Green's great years and total number of goals that his team scored. Ovechkin, Backstrom, and Semin were putting up points galore. In Ottawa, Spezza did well this season, but after him there is a quite a drop off. - Ross The Boss Palmer Sat, 21 Apr 2012 08:39:23 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4577-top-10-keeper-league-defensemen#comment-20503 Not sure Edler should be so high...Did not do as well in the Vancouver system as Ehrhoff did...Some real mental errors in the playoffs as well...Some Ranger deserved to be mentioned as a team defense they have been awesome.....Great thought process as always.... - mike hess Sat, 21 Apr 2012 05:51:09 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4577-top-10-keeper-league-defensemen#comment-20492 I'm a little surprised by Yandle's dramatic drop, just one year after saying he almost snuck in at the top spot. And Green no longer belongs on this list. If you watch him play, he's absolutely useless on the ice. I think his productive days are far behind him. - Massimo Cinelli Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:13:50 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4577-top-10-keeper-league-defensemen#comment-20491 What's your take on Visnovksy? Was amazing last year and was very poor this year. Will he bounce back in Anaheim? - Marcus Lepkowski Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:00:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4577-top-10-keeper-league-defensemen#comment-20490 Very, very good list. I still Chara has a lot of gas. In multi-cat leagues, Chara/Buff/Weber/Letang should be tightly grouped in 2-5. If you want to put Chara at #5 due to age... OK. AP is too high. This guy is a terrific real-world NHL defensemen. That said... his game is very disciplined (hurts his PIM). Also - I think it is a bit nutty to give him 70pt upside. A defensemen has to be able to hit 40 ESP/30 PPP to get to that level. I don't think AP's game will ever translate to 40 ESP. Swap Chara/AP and I'd give this list full marks. Overall... still very, very good. - Pengwin7 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 06:29:54 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4577-top-10-keeper-league-defensemen#comment-20485 Except the love of the Capitals is not just...they dont play the up tempo games anymore...Green and Ovie should not be on any top ten lists. - derek Fri, 20 Apr 2012 01:09:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/4577-top-10-keeper-league-defensemen#comment-20480 Great list as always but a lack of mention of Mr. Michael Del Zotto is criminal in the HM list. - William McBride Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:59:57 +0100
