Keeper League Help Needed - Defensive prospect rankings

[Connor McConnor]

Hey guys,

My team just won it's first championship this year after coming 2nd twice so I come to you in high spirits. I need to bolster my defence as my prospects are looking slim outside of M. Matheson. My league plays a 6F/3D/1G format and my 3 starters are generally Karlsson, Barrie and Krug with Fowler as a backup option.

I'm getting ready for the draft this year and need help ranking some prospects. I have my own general idea on how they'd go but would appreciate some insight on the following players (in random order):
- A. Fox
- T. Dermott
- S. Niku
- T. Smith
- H. Jokiharju

How would you rank these 5 players? Also of note, would you have any of these 5 ahead of recently drafted top prospects such as Dobson, Bouchard or Boqvist?

Thanks in advance for any help!
