Outlook Brayden Point
Point looks to rebound in Tampa Bay's top six as a mid-round draft value
Brayden Point enters his age-30 campaign anchored as a primary offensive pivot for the Lightning. Following consecutive 40-goal outputs, Point experienced a notable dip last season with 19 goals and 51 points in 74 games. Despite the step back in counting stats, his established track record and central role at even strength ensure significant opportunity.
A key factor in last year's decline was shot volume, which dropped to 136 shots on goal alongside reduced ice time. As a veteran with exceptional finishing ability, even a moderate rebound in shot frequency and power-play conversion should spark positive regression toward his prior scoring benchmarks.
Our projections model 50 points over 63 contests, balancing durability caution with steady scoring efficiency. With an ADP near 95, Point is valued in the eighth-to-ninth round range in typical 10- to 12-team leagues, making him an appealing target for managers betting on an offensive resurgence.

Outlook Ilya Sorokin
Ilya Sorokin profiles as a dependable primary starter anchoring the Islanders' crease.
At 31 years old, Ilya Sorokin remains the clear 1A option in the Islanders' tandem setup alongside Semyon Varlamov. After posting 29 wins in 55 games last season, he offers bankable volume and stability at the top of New York's goaltending depth chart.
Our projections align with his recent trajectory, forecasting 29 wins, a 2.68 GAA, a .906 save percentage, and 7 shutouts across 54 starts. While his save percentage has settled into the .906–.907 range the past few campaigns, Sorokin's expected 1,386 saves preserve a stout weekly floor.
Carrying an ADP around 71.53, Sorokin represents a mid-round G1 target or high-end G2 anchor in 10-to-12 team leagues. Our models support that valuation, as his steady start volume and shutout upside comfortably offset the workload split with Varlamov.
