Rank my Dmen in Order of Value

[chuckcouples]

How would you rank my dmen in terms of relative value? It's a 24 team league with 23 roster spots and up to 27 minor spots (less than 100 NHL games played). The scoring system is as follows:

G - 4
A - 2
+/- - 1
Short Handed Point - 2
PPP - 1
Block - 0.5
Hit - 0.5
SOG - 0.5
FOW - 0.1
(plus goalie stats which don't matter for this)

NAME - SALARY - FPts Last Year - FPts/game Last year
Seth Jones - $5,400,000 - 369 - 4.73
Brent Burns - $8,000,000 - 349.5 - 4.26
Mark Giordano - $6,750,000 - 331.5 - 4.2
Charlie McAvoy - $4,900,000 - 314.5 - 4.25
Esa Lindell - $5,800,000 - 312.5 - 3.91
Erik Cernak - $2,950,000 - 263.5 - 3.71
Jamie Oleksiak - $4,600,000 - 248 - 3.31
Justin Braun - $1,800,000 - 196 - 2.45
Mikey Anderson - $1,775,000 - 182.5 - 2.37
Kris Russell - $1,250,000 - 166 - 2.63

1. Seth Jones
2. McAvoy
3. Giordano
4. Burns
5. Cernak
6. Mikey Anderson
7. Oleksiak
8. Lindell

- Braun/Russell

Jones is by far your best D man
McAvoy i dont like too much but he's decent in multi-cat leagues and has room to grow as a player
Gio should be interesting in seattle with a lower cap hit then Burns
Burns still puts up a ton of peripherals so hes still got value even tho the points aren't there anymore
Cernak is still young with a ton of peripherals and great cap hit
Anderson is young with upside so that could add more value there
Between Lindell and Oleksiak it's pretty close i think Lindell might lose some pts potential with Suter probably taking his power play spot and Ole could be interesting in a top 2/4 role in seattle
the other 2 are non factors

1. Jones
2. McAvoy
3. Cernak
4. Burns
5. Giordano
6. Anderson

The top 2 are pretty clear. Cernak is young, has a very reasonable cost, and is improving. Burns over Giordano, as he's got more years left, and should be better. Anderson is cheap, and young.

Braun/Russell - cheap older guys
Oleksiak - should get a little playing time bump in Seattle, with more stats.
Lindell - I think he overachieved last year, but he's like a Giordano light - less results, less cap hit. However, the Suter signing should hurt him.

Seth Jones
Charlie McAvoy
Erik Cernak
Jamie Oleksiak
Mark Giordano
Brent Burns
Esa Lindell
Mikey Anderson
Justin Braun
Kris Russell

I admittedly have a hard time ranking Burns and Giordano. I think they both have higher value in the short-term than someone like Cernak and Oleksiak, but at some point soon they are going to stop producing points and then Cernak and Oleksiak will pass them. As a result, in a keeper league I probably rank the younger players slightly ahead of them. Tough call, though.

I'm liking this and agreed, it's a tough call for sure.

Thank you all for your help. The moral of this story is that I have too many high priced dmen and need to move one or more of them!!! I have thrown them all on the trade block to see what comes out of it.
