    Default Next Byfuglien

    My multi cat league favors Dmen that play like Buff in his prime. Any D drafted the last year or two have the potential to become the next version?

    Cernak is a notable addition to the roto lineup, but he won't get points like big buff

    Bigger defenseman take quite a while to hit their stride, but here's three I like, with varying popular ranges in fantasy hockey:
    [Most everybody on this site already knows about all three of these guys - your leaguemates may or may not]

    Casual fantasy hockey fans know about:
    *Ryan Pulock (NYI)

    Moderate fantasy hockey fans know about:
    *Jakob Chychrun (ARI)

    Diehard fantasy people know about:
    *Nicolas Hague (VGK)


    Hague is my favourite.
    I'm not completely sold on any of the VGK defensemen as an all-around #1.
    (I like Theodore as a #2... and Schmidt as a #3... for this year they'll be 1a/1b... but they'd both be better as a 2/3.)

    Hague's the guy to target, IMO.

    Second on Hague. He's huge, and shown he can score in the WHL. THis will be his second year in the AHL so it may be telling as to whether the scoring will carry.

    Long-term Hague certainly has potential to do what Byfuglien does, but in the short-term I can't really think of anyone who comes close to Byfuglien.

    He's not a secret, but last year I found that Parayko offered some nice cross-category production in my Yahoo league, but again he isn't close to Buff. Nurse is another good multi-cat dman.

    Does Hague have a chance to crack the Vegas roster this year or hes going to AHL?
