## Resource

This year’s NHL defense corps is exploding with talent—Cale Makar still reigns supreme, but Evan Bouchard has vaulted into elite tier with record-setting points. Zach Werenski and Moritz Seider shine in specific league formats, while rookies like Lane Hutson and Matthew Schaefer are already showing 90-point potential. At the bottom, Jake Sanderson, Miro Heiskanen, and Charlie McAvoy battle for tenth, with Sanderson offering upside, McAvoy delivering consistency (if healthy), and Heiskanen’s production wildly unpredictable. Fantasy owners, this is your deepest, most dynamic defense season yet—don’t sleep on anyone. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
