“Unlocking Hidden Gems: Surprising Fantasy Hockey Takeaways from the Thrilling 2024-25 NHL Season!”
The top drafted defenders are indeed, that
This is essentially what I expected to happen with the goalie market that didn’t. Here are the current top 11 scoring defensemen in the NHL with their point totals:
-
Cale Makar (91)
-
Zach Werenski (75)
-
Quinn Hughes (74)
-
Lane Hutson (64)
-
Evan Bouchard (63)
-
Rasmus Dahlin (62)
-
Victor Hedman (61)
-
Josh Morrissey (57)
-
Adam Fox (56)
-
Jake Sanderson (54)
-
Shea Theodore (54)
The only two guys on that list who weren’t projected to be there before the season were Hutson, and perhaps Werenski, although he led all NHL rearguards in goals in 2019-20 and has always been one of the best offensive defenders in the league when healthy. Defensemen scoring is driven by power-play production, and it’s exceedingly rare for a player to come out of nowhere and become an effective PP quarterback at the NHL level. The projected top rearguards before the season feel like safer investments than ever.
