Not too much thought needed for me - I went with four of the first five, omitting only Leddy (I went with Ellis instead).

Just for fun I went back and looked at the past final (points) statistics of d men. The number beside each players name is NOT their own personal statistics but that is how each 1st through 21st d men scored at that position to give you a good idea what to generally expect

Am liking this list and think it's pretty accurate.

[Mr. Guru]

Whats the number beside? Which cats?

[StuntMan12]

Whats the number beside? Which cats?

just straught points. so in 16/17 the 10th best d man for pts got 49 pts and so on and so forth. I more or less put the point totals up to get an idea how much to generally expect from each player.

[RizzeeDizzee]

Whats the number beside? Which cats?

I think what he's saying - and it's quite interesting and useful - is that's how many points the defensemen who finished in that overall scoring position had in those seasons. For example, through our poll we voted Klefbom 18th, and the defenseman who finished 18th in rearguard scoring had 42 points in 2016-17, 45 in 2015-16, and 45 in 2014-15. In turn, by virtue of having voted Klefbom into that spot, we're thinking he should have roughly 43 or 44 points in 2017-18 if recent trends hold true.

exactly right.

[Mr. Guru]

Yeah, Im wondering what the scoring for this league is.

Wait. What?

The numbers next to the defender is how many fantasy points they had in that league, right?

[StuntMan12]

Yeah, Im wondering what the scoring for this league is.

Wait. What?

the voting is ranked just by pts. so 1 assist = 1 pt and 1 goal = 1 pt. This is the only type of money league I go into so want to create a list that is #DobberitesApproved basically

Its NHL statistics. For instance the 5th place finisher the past 3 years has gotten 53,58,55 pts respectively. It's not Josi's stats, it's just the historical 5th place finisher that got that many points. Since we voted Josi 5th best d man that is the "general" what to expect from him.

so for where Erik Karlsson is ranked #1 .... the number next to him is what the 1st place guy got last year (16/17) which was Brent Burns (76pts) then the number beside that is the first place finisher in (15/16) which was Erik Karlsson who got (82pts) and for (14/15) the top d man that year was Erik Karlsson who got (66pts)
