    Default Looking for Defence

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking at picking up a defenceman. Defence is a little ughhh. We start 6 dmen daily.

    Im in a Head to Head points 16 team salary cap league. Categories for defence include:

    Goals, Assist, +/-. Games played, GWG, blocks, PM's, PPpts, SHpts, games played and Time on ice SH.

    Current Defence include Parayko, Gustafsson, Lindell, H Lindholm, B Dillon and I recently picked up Sean Walker.

    I could go with minor league dmen but not sure they will start in league next year. My minor league dmen include (M Lehtonen, Rathbone, Ahcan, Kniazev, Dineen)

    Here are some of the D that I have identified.
    Who would you (IF ANY) go with?

    Edmundson, Brodin, Tanev, R Gudas. J Holl, TJ Brodie, M Matheson, B Pesce, R Hagg, Scandella, D Demelo, Mete, A Larsson O Klynington, Z Bogosian.

    Thanks

    Brodin - won't give too many points but is definitely solid. His new contract might make him a better IRL than fantasy option though and is probably too high unless you can drop him easily
    Pesce - good all-rounder, with Hamilton healthy he may not get the same opportunities but he's a good top 4 guy
    Matheson - he's my dark horse
    I wouldn't bother with the others.

    Lehtonen and Kylington I would have above Dillon. Guess may get a small AAV next year too so he could be a bargain.

    You want cheaper guys there. I like Gudas, Holl, and Hagg since you have PIM. Tanev, maybe Brodie could be good if signed cheaply. Mete & Kylington at least should be really cheap. I'd avoid the rest.

    You have some guys I've made sure to get off my team in a multi-cat dynasty lately: Lindell & Lindholm. I just find them too expensive for what they produce. However, that SHTOI category is interesting; I'm guessing that's a big reason you have Lindell, maybe both.

    If you have the cap space I'd go Matheson. I think he'll have a breakout a la Schultz to 40+ this season assuming he gets pp2 time. I don't think anyone else you listed has the same point upside.

    If cap is looking to be an issue I'd go Hagg, he fits your categories nicely and is on a cheap deal now.

    Middle ground option would be Pesce who may get some points just by virtue of the minutes he'll play and as mentioned above is good all around for your categories.
