Outlook Chris Kreider
Chris Kreider brings veteran goal-scoring depth to Montreal with late-round fantasy appeal.
After parting ways with Anaheim, 35-year-old veteran Chris Kreider joined Montreal on a one-year deal, quickly skating alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. While early camp looks indicate Montreal is preserving its young top power-play unit, Kreider's net-front ability and penalty-killing utility should secure regular top-nine minutes and secondary power-play deployment.
Our projection estimates Kreider for 22 goals, 28 assists, and 50 points over 75 games, backed by 139 shots on goal and 17 power-play points. This closely tracks his 52-point effort in Anaheim, demonstrating that his scoring touch around the crease remains intact despite moderate declines in shot volume and physical peripherals.
Carrying an ADP of 212.50, Kreider profiles as a viable late-round target in standard 10-to-12 team leagues. If his early even-strength chemistry with Suzuki and Caufield sticks, he offers steady 20-goal equity and reliable depth without demanding significant draft capital.

Outlook Gavin McKenna
Gavin McKenna carries immense rookie breakout upside in Toronto's top six
At just 18 years old, Gavin McKenna enters his rookie season with sky-high expectations. While the Maple Leafs are taking a measured approach with his development, his preseason debut—logging over 19 minutes and firing three shots—demonstrated he is ready to push for immediate top-six minutes.
Our projections anticipate high-level scoring output once he settles in, bolstered by his elite pace and playmaking. Though early camp looks had Toronto experimenting with power-play setups, McKenna’s vision and shot-generation ability give him a clear pathway to significant man-advantage deployment as the year progresses.
Carrying an ADP of 125.32 (placing him around the 11th round) and ownership soaring past 93%, the market is rightfully eager. McKenna represents the quintessential high-ceiling target: rookie growing pains introduce some floor risk, but his offensive upside provides massive draft-day profit potential.
