Outlook Mark Stone

Mark Stone pairs elite point-per-game upside with durability risk in Vegas

Stone remains one of the NHL's premier two-way wingers when healthy, coming off a standout campaign where he posted 30 goals and 76 points in 68 games for Vegas. He logged over 18 minutes of ice time per night while generating 29 power-play points, highlighting his central offensive role in the Golden Knights' top-six and top power-play group.

Our projections anticipate Stone producing at a strong rate once again, forecasting 73 points with 45 assists and 29 power-play points, along with 130 shots on goal and 47 blocked shots over a projected 60 games. While not a high-volume shooter, his elite playmaking, plus-minus impact, and defensive peripherals provide a sturdy fantasy floor across multiple categories.

With an ADP hovering around 127 in drafts, fantasy managers are factoring in the typical injury risk for the 34-year-old veteran. However, our data suggests that securing near point-per-game offensive production in the middle rounds offers tremendous surplus value, making Stone an ideal upside target if supported with roster depth.

Outlook Jake McCabe

Jake McCabe offers elite shot-blocking and sturdy physical peripherals for Toronto's blue line.

At age 32, Jake McCabe enters the season locked into a top-pairing defensive role for Toronto after logging a heavy 21:51 of ice time across 82 games last season. While he does not factor into power-play units, his heavy defensive responsibilities ensure consistent minutes against top competition.

McCabe's fantasy utility shines brightest in bangers leagues. Last season, he piled up 190 blocked shots and 104 hits alongside 25 points. Our projection models anticipate a nearly identical foundation across 80 games, forecasting 25 points, 135 hits, and another stout 190 blocks.

Carrying an ADP of 198.2, McCabe is typically targeted in the final rounds as a category specialist. While his scoring ceiling remains modest without man-advantage time, his reliable floor in hits and blocks makes him a dependable roster stabilizer.
