Outlook Michael Misa
Michael Misa aims for a sophomore step forward in San Jose's rebuild
Entering his second NHL campaign at just 19 years old, Michael Misa is primed to take on an expanded role down the middle for San Jose. After recording 9 goals and 21 points across 55 games as a rookie, the skilled young forward is poised to see his ice time grow as the Sharks continue their rebuild.
Our models project Misa for roughly 21 points, 150 shots on goal, and 4 power-play points across 45 appearances. While his shot generation and offensive upside are encouraging, operating in a depth role on a developing offense caps his immediate counting stats and brings plus-minus volatility.
Carrying an ADP near pick 263, Misa is primarily a deep-league target or waiver-wire watch in standard redraft formats. However, his youth and top-six ceiling make him a far more compelling asset in dynasty and keeper leagues as his sophomore season gets underway.

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.
