In an offseason filled with surprises, several NHL players are experiencing a considerable drop in their fantasy value. Among them, John Tavares, formerly a reliable asset for fantasy managers, faces a diminishing role with the Toronto Maple Leafs. With increased competition and changes in line combinations, Tavares’s scoring potential may not reach the heights it once did, making him a player to watch closely in drafts.

Another notable name is Jacob Chychrun of the Arizona Coyotes. With the team's ongoing rebuild and Chychrun's struggles to stay healthy, his performance is likely to suffer. This uncertainty has led many fantasy players to reconsider his viability as a solid defender in their lineups.

Ryan O'Reilly of the Nashville Predators may also face challenges this season. After moving to Nashville, expectations were high for O'Reilly to provide leadership and scoring. However, early indications suggest he may not have the same impact as in previous years, pushing his fantasy stock down.

As the season approaches, these players are prime examples of how shifting team dynamics and individual performance can heavily influence fantasy rankings. Keeping an eye on their situations will be crucial for savvy fantasy managers looking to gain an edge in drafts and trades.
