Hey guys! My first series of articles for Razzball will be on the Top 30 Defensemen in Fantasy Hockey this season.  For years, my basic strategy was to get one top notch defensemen in my drafts and then wait until the later rounds to take high upside guys.  Now, with more teams rolling their top pair for massive minutes, there are a plethora of defensemen worth taking in the middle rounds of your draft.  This article will include my rankings of the top 10 defensemen specifically.  It will be mentioned in the rankings but to be clear, there will be some movement depending on the scoring of your league.  For years, the leagues that I have done include six offensive categories: goals, assists, plus-minus, penalty minutes (more is better), special teams points (power play plus shorthanded), and shots on goal.  These categories seem to be the most popular settings (unless you separate the special teams points into two separate categories) so these rankings will reflect that.  I will go into detail about each player's strengths and how to evaluate them based on your league settings.  Let's get to it!
