Outlook Vincent Trocheck

Trocheck brings multi-category grit and reliable secondary scoring to Utah

Entering his age-33 campaign, Vincent Trocheck opens a new chapter in Utah slotted as a top-six center. Fresh off a 53-point effort in 71 games with the Rangers, the veteran has quickly integrated into his new surroundings, offering vital leadership to a young squad while anchoring a prominent two-way role.

From a fantasy perspective, Trocheck continues to provide exceptional multi-category utility. Our projections anticipate 53 points (16 goals, 37 assists) over 67 games, paired with 193 hits, 49 blocks, and 18 power-play points. While his shot generation settled at 112 shots on goal last season, his relentless physical presence and faceoff reliability keep his floor remarkably sturdy.

Drafted around an ADP of 83.00, Trocheck represents a dependable seventh- or eighth-round target in standard 10- to 12-team leagues. While age and a new offensive scheme cap his chances of repeating his career-best scoring numbers, his high-volume hitting and projected power-play production make him a dependable lineup fixture across all formats.

Outlook Luke Evangelista

Fresh trade to New Jersey elevates Evangelista's late-round fantasy upside

Luke Evangelista arrives in New Jersey following an early-September trade from Nashville, fresh off a breakout 56-point campaign where he posted 12 goals and 44 assists across 81 contests. At 24 years old, the crafty right winger brings elite play-driving analytics and high-end vision to a dynamic Devils offense looking to maximize his playmaking flair.

Our projections align with that progression, forecasting 56 points (12 goals, 44 assists), 176 shots on goal, and 17 power-play points over 81 games. While New Jersey's crowded forward corps makes securing top-unit power-play minutes difficult, Evangelista should settle into a productive middle-six role with reliable second-unit power-play exposure.

Carrying an ADP around 199.50, Evangelista is priced as a late-round sleeper in standard leagues. If his low 6.8% shooting percentage regresses toward league average and he gels quickly with New Jersey's top playmakers, he has an accessible path to outperform his draft slot significantly.
