I tried to put them in an order I thought their value might be if and when the season cranks up this year. There would definitely be movement if it was based solely on one pools rules, but that's fine tuning. I was aiming for a more generic list. Didn't want to exclude any pool format. You will notice that on the top ten in the East, the guys that rose to the top put up the best roto numbers, not only points. - Russ Miller Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:11:34 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/5093-top-20-western-conference-fantasy-defensemen-part-1-of-2#comment-23437 Nice work, thanks. Though I wonder what settings are being used for these lists? In yours, you focus more on the peripherals and Russ is mainly points based. I wonder if it would have been best if they were similar. - horrorfan Mon, 03 Dec 2012 23:14:33 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/5093-top-20-western-conference-fantasy-defensemen-part-1-of-2#comment-23433 I wouldn't doubt if Garrison cuts into Bieksa's point totals. It will be interesting to see how the top 2 pairings shake out along with the PP and penalty kill in Vancouver. Nice to see Goligoski at 20, he does fall into the same boat as Leddy due to the lack of peripherals... - Rad64 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 07:07:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/5093-top-20-western-conference-fantasy-defensemen-part-1-of-2#comment-23432 nice to see you guys still pumping this stuff out considering the bleak outlook on the season! My only comment would be that Dan Hamhuis is more or less playing for his hometown team - He lives in Smithers, BC and signed for a home town "province" discount. Hamhuis had his second highest point total last year - 37 points. My gut feeling is that he could lose PP time to Garrison due to G's big shot. If G manages to get some first line power play time I would think his point totals will be right up there with last year, the Sedin's will more than make up for Campbell's playmaking prowess. I think he could start off strong as he is new to the Western conference and teams will have to use video at the start to defend his shot but will adjust as they seem him in person more. Hopefully we get a chance to see what happens in January!!!! - hawkdog Mon, 03 Dec 2012 06:08:31 +0100
