Defensemen

Artem Duda

By |2025-06-25T19:43:15-04:00June 25th, 2025|

Offensive-minded defenseman with size and skill. Efficient as a power-play quarterback and a great decision-maker with the puck. Defending backwards is a work in progress, but could crack a top-four.

Tarin Smith

By |2025-06-25T19:30:12-04:00June 25th, 2025|

Intelligent two-way defenceman with a budding offensive game. Improvements in his skating could see him become a reliable second-pairing blue-liner.

Tyson Hinds

By |2025-06-25T19:24:41-04:00June 25th, 2025|

A big defenseman who is mobile and likes to push the pace, he sees the ice well and could be a top four, second power play quarterback.

Brent Johnson

By |2025-06-25T17:13:30-04:00June 24th, 2025|

Johnson may wind up being a more valuable player in real life than fantasy but should provide some points-only value as well, but it will take time

Daniil Pylenkov

By |2025-06-23T21:57:28-04:00June 23rd, 2025|

A physical defenseman who is solid on his end, a good puck mover, and has some offensive upside. He must move to North America from the KHL to get on the fantasy radar.

Hunter Brzustewicz

By |2025-06-23T17:53:39-04:00June 23rd, 2025|

A mobile and intelligent defender who moves the puck efficiently. He excels at transitioning the puck and finding open teammates for long passes. However, consistency is a concern.

Jérémie Poirier

By |2025-06-23T17:55:35-04:00June 23rd, 2025|

Skilled, puck moving defender who skates well with the puck. His hockey IQ makes him dangerous in the offensive zone and effective in the defensive zone. Poirier does an excellent job seeing the ice and being proactive in the play.
