#59 Roman Josi

Now this should come as no surprise that Roman Josi is the first on this list. A defenseman of his caliber is an asset to any fantasy hockey team.

Last year was an “off” year for Josi as he only skated in 67 games. Although he missed almost a quarter of the season, Josi still put up 18 goals and 41 assists for 59 points.

At almost a point-per-game last season, and 1.2 points per game the season prior, his consistency is one thing you can count on.

Averaging over 25 minutes on ice per game, Josi only spent 36 minutes in the penalty box last season. His discipline on the ice allows him to be out there more and in return, score more points for the fantasy teams he is on.

When you count in bonus points that most leagues give for each power play and shorthanded point the player earns, Josi had 12 bonus points during the course of the 2022-23 season.

Considering the Nashville Predators power play was horrendous, him being able to score points on the man advantage just showcases even more his all-star ability to generate plays anytime he is on the ice.
