Pool value

Projected full-season fantasy worth.

34/100
why 34?

Each row is one fantasy category turned into points over a full 84-game season. Add the rows up and that is his total fantasy worth.

  • total57 pool points  ·  an elite defenseman season scores 16657 = 34/100

Weights follow what the average fantasy league actually counts: goals at 3× assists (the universal core), power-play points and game-winners at half weight (common extra categories), OT goals, shots and PIM small (many leagues skip them), and ice time as a quiet availability bonus. The scale: add up a whole season of those categories and compare against the best defensemen in the NHL — an elite season scores about 166 points, and that is what 100 means. So 57 points is 34 out of a perfect fantasy season at his position. Defensemen and forwards are graded on separate scales because the D slot can only be filled by a defenseman. Goals and assists come from the backtested season model; the rest ride your own season-to-date pace over 84 games (17 games so far — small sample, secondary lines will move as roles settle). Hits/blocks are excluded: the free NHL feeds don't publish full-season totals, and we don't invent them.

The Situation

  • Minutes are shrinking: 12:49/game over the last 6, down 17% from 15:21 earlier in the season.
  • Availability: played 15 of 17 for NJD — missed 2 games (2026-10-24, 2026-10-27).
  • Not on the NHL Status Report — recent absences were healthy scratches or coach's decisions unless a wire note says otherwise.

Every line is measured from our own boxscore ledger; absence reasons from the NHL Status Report and our transaction wire only — no insider guessing.

84-G proj — current pace blended with the player's own history (recent seasons weighted heaviest), mixed with a similarity projection from historical players with comparable profiles, then adjusted for the aging curve (league-average peak at 27; decline after) — at age 26 that is 0%. Dashes mark stats the model doesn't project.

Comparable player-seasons: Declan Chisholm (2025-25) · Michal Kempny (2019-19) · Oliver Kylington (2023-23) · Denton Mateychuk (2025-25) · Connor Carrick (2019-19).
