Multi-cat Cap Dynasty Roster: Defensemen - give me your thoughts
I was planning on doing this at some point when the league had wrapped up, but since there's been multi-cat D discussion, and it's aslow time, I figured I'd put this out here now. Not the league in my sig. At the time the NHL paused, I had wrapped up 1st in the regular season.
12 teams, with 75 players + 5 IR spots(in-season only) each, for a total of 900 rostered players. It's weird, but only 22 (12 F, 6D, 2G, and 2 reserves any position) count towards the cap of $122.250M. So ton's of cap room, with an average of $5.55M per active roster spot. Any real-life star who is just passable in fantasy will be owned.
The rest of the roster is your minors, and players who make 3M or less can go up & down without having to clear waivers, over that, any team can claim someone you demote and put them in their active 22. It happens a couple times a year.
Categories are 6/4 skater/goalie: G, A, P, SOG, PIM, (H+B) and W, SV%, GAA, SHO. Daily moves.
Currently I have 5 guys on IR, and there's a 5 round draft, so I will need to free up around 10 roster spots via trade or release. My current defense roster, I apologize for the formatting:

24 R 850,000 Jimmy Schuldt
24 1 735,000 Ryan Graves
22 1 714,166 Filip Hronek
25 1 700,000 Matt Roy
26 R 700,000 Devon Toews
24 U 700,000 Andreas Borgman
U = UFA, R = RFA, and I've bolded the guys that I think are definite keepers.
*Pettersson was making $874,125 this year, and has already signed an extension, which is noted.
+Gavrikov is a 10.2(c) RFA which means he can't be offer sheeted, and if he doesn't get a qualify offer offer by a certain date, he becomes a UFA
I think the contracts for Dermott, Gavrikov, & Weegar are likely to be under $3M, so they would be very keepable. Toews might be under as well, but that's less certain.
Pettersson & Lindholm might be for some teams, but I don't think they are with my team structure. Schuldt, Borgman, and Wolanin I am very unsure what to do with, but any of those 5 could be part of a trade.
Thanks in advance for reading, and any replies you feel inclined to give.

Reason: Left out total # of players on rosters, added clarity.
