    Default Which 2 D-man to pick?

    I have the opportunity to pick with my first 2 selections in the waiver portion of my draft two of these 5 defensemen:

    Cale Makar
    Quinton Hughes
    Thomas Chabot
    Miro Heiskanen
    Matt Dumba


    Who do you see having the higher upside? I'm pencilling in Chabot as one of my picks, but the other 4 are close. My league is points only and we dress 2 D every week. My other D is Seth Jones, so I'm looking for 2 other strong candidates for the upcoming years. I'm not necessarily in win now mode, but looking to see who would be the best points only option 2-3 yrs down the road. I know Dumba is the most experienced, but I'm not in win mode anyways.

    Another thing, would you cut Jones and pick 3 of these instead?

    My guess is Clm is a train wreck this year so I'd stay away from Jones.
    Chabot, Hughes, Makar for me.

    Chabot is a definite. Then I would lean towards Makar just a tad over Hughes. In the short stint I saw Makar at the end of last season he seemed like he had it together for a young D-Man which is really hard to find.

    Chabot and Makar would be my two, but is your league so shallow that Jones/Dumba would have no trade value? If it's that shallow, why do you need to rebuild for 2-3+ years out?

    It's not that its shallow, it's that there is no trading in this limited keeper. My team is in the twilight zone aka mid-pack with zero chance of winning until my young guys develop. We keep 10 and this year I'll have Jack Hughes along with a few other young guns. So Makar would be your pick along with Chabot.

    If that is the case, I would go with Chabot and Makar as well. Before that info I was leaning towards Dumba instead of Makar.

    If your rebuilding you have to go with Chabot and Makar.
