This week's discussion focuses on the top ten defensemen to target in the upcoming fantasy hockey season. Analysts emphasize the value of defensemen not just for their points but also for their peripheral stats such as hits, blocks, and overall impact on their respective teams. The conversation kicks off with Victor Hedman, who, despite aging, continues to be a reliable option with his performance metrics. Lane Hudson's impressive offensive capabilities place him at number nine, while Brandon Montour is recognized for his versatility and contribution on the blue line. The importance of power play involvement among defensemen is also highlighted, with predictions for emerging young stars like Jake Sanderson and Moritz Seider potentially defining their teams' defensive cores in the near future.
