In this edition of the Fantasy Hockey Mailbag, various players experience fluctuations in their offseason value. Notably, Victor Hedman has been a focal point as discussions around his performance and potential value in upcoming fantasy drafts arise. While Hedman has traditionally been seen as a top-tier defenseman, questions linger regarding his ability to sustain peak performance, especially considering the impact of age and recent injury history.

Another player drawing attention is Boone Johnston, whose role with the New Jersey Devils may evolve significantly next season. As a player who has demonstrated flashes of brilliance, Johnston represents a crafty pick for fantasy managers looking to capitalize on potential upside in the later rounds.

The conversation also touches on Shea Theodore, who has shown promise with the Vegas Golden Knights. His offensive contributions could become even more critical following roster changes within the team. Further, players like MacKenzie Weegar and Morrissey have surfaced in discussions about defensemen who might deliver value despite dropping in draft rankings this summer.

With many familiar faces generating buzz, it’s a pivotal time for fantasy owners to assess their strategies, particularly with emerging talents who may redefine the landscape of their respective teams moving forward.
