November Fantasy Hockey Rankings: Defencemen
As you might expect, there was a fair amount of movement in this month's rankings.
Although the rankings are based on expected performance from this point FORWARD, year-to-date production was factored in as well. Blueliners like Sheldon Souray, Marc-Andre Bergeron, and Sami Salo were not highly drafted but are producing well, are in good situations, and are ranked accordingly.
Defencemen Rankings -->> Top 60
Note: Defencemen are ranked for their expected performance from this point to the end of the 2011-2012 season using standard scoring league categories: Goals, Assists, Power Play Points, Shots on Goal, Plus/Minus, Penalty Minutes, and Average Time on Ice.

This is a great site!
I’ve just been reading your posts on Google Reader so far, but I’m glad I finally clicked through and started looking at some of the comments.
I have Lidstrom, Kulikov, Quiney and Meszaros from this list, in a pretty deep league that only deals in goals and assists (with extras for PP, GW, etc.). Kevin Klein, Hamonic and Hainsey are my stiffs. I need to get a bit cheaper and younger on the blueline.
Was thinking of going after Clitsome. Where would you have him on the list?
Clitsome? not too far down, although it was a bit disappointing that he didn’t produce much with Wiz out for 8 games in a row, he’s still better than your stiffs in a scoring-only league. as is Garrison, to reply to your post below, however, I can’t quite wrap my head around the Panthers having three roster-worthy scoring D-men.
Definitely like Clitsome more than Klein and Hainsey.
Glad to hear you’re liking the site. Always love have a few more commenters on here!

Not an either/or situation
I’d probably have to give up a forward to get Clitsome. I think I’ll write up a fan post to explain the whole thing today.
Thanks for everything you guys are doing here!
Edler should have the best season of his career so far… this kid can only go up!
What’s up with Visnovsky and Cam Fowler though?

Great list as usual, Dio
Tried to get Edler in every league as people don’t realize he missed a large chunk of last season otherwise he would have been a top 5 point producing D.
Tried to do the same with Streit, but I’m still waiting for Streit to string together a streak like Edler is on.
