Fantasy Hockey
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Primarily a depth option for Buffalo over his first five NHL campaigns, Samuelsson came out of nowhere to become one of the most valuable defenders in the league last season. He set career-best marks in goals (13), assists (28), points (41), shots on goal (109), average time on ice (22:50), hits (132) and blocked shots (154). Samuelsson's plus-41 rating was seventh-best in the entire league. That's the good news. The bad news is that most of it isn't sustainable. Samuelsson's 11.9 percent shooting percentage was considerably higher than any of his prior seasons and he still gets zero time with the man advantage. The 26-year-old is a very good player that will help the Sabres win hockey games in 2026-27, just don't overpay for past offensive production.
