Outlook Ivar Stenberg
Stenberg enters Rookie Faceoff looking to carve out early path with Sharks
At just 18 years old, Ivar Stenberg is taking his first major steps toward the NHL, recently featured heading into San Jose’s Rookie Faceoff tournament. The young winger does not yet possess NHL experience, but the rebuilding Sharks are eager to evaluate his offensive instincts and skill set throughout rookie camp and the preseason.
With no locked-in role on San Jose’s top scoring lines or power-play units, Stenberg faces an uphill climb to secure consistent ice time to start the campaign. Fantasy managers have treated him as a late-round dart throw with an ADP around 178, primarily targeting his developmental pedigree rather than immediate top-six deployment.
Our data projects significant scoring upside if he eventually secures regular top-nine minutes, though physical peripherals like shots and hits will take time to materialize at the NHL level. Given his uncertain roster status, he profiles best as a dynasty stash or watch-list candidate in standard redraft formats.

Outlook Anton Frondell
Frondell positioned for early opportunity down the middle in Chicago
At just 19 years old, Anton Frondell enters the season with a notable opening to carve out a top-six role down the middle for Chicago. With franchise cornerstone Connor Bedard sidelined through November following shoulder surgery, the Blackhawks will lean on their young talent, and Frondell has openly targeted a prominent role creating alongside veteran Patrick Kane.
Our data projects Frondell for 9 points, 36 shots on goal, and a pair of power-play points across a 12-game sample to begin his campaign. Fantasy managers have taken notice of this early-season runway, driving his rostered rate up to 38 percent as managers anticipate decent shot volume and immediate special-teams exposure.
Carrying an ADP of 190.50, Frondell represents an intriguing late-round upside target rather than an established weekly anchor. While his long-term usage may shift once Bedard returns to full health, his offensive pedigree and prime deployment make him well worth stashing in standard leagues to see how quickly he adapts.
