His remarkable skating and playmaking abilities have earned him the position of a top-tier choice for fantasy managers looking to secure solid points from their blue line.

Another standout is Adam Fox, representing the New York Rangers. Fox's standout season has solidified his reputation as a reliable defenseman capable of both shutting down opposing forwards and contributing offensively. His work ethic and hockey IQ have made him an invaluable asset to the Rangers and a must-have for any serious keeper league player.

The competition among defensemen isn't solely about points; consider the gritty play of players like Dougie Hamilton from the New Jersey Devils. His combination of size and skill makes him a formidable presence on the ice, providing both offensive contributions and a physical edge that can be crucial in tight games. Keeper league enthusiasts will need to keep a close eye on these players as the summer months unfold, shaping the future of their fantasy rosters.
