2025 Fantasy Outlook
Olivier achieved new personal bests in goals (18), assists (14), points (32), PIM (139), shots on goal (111), blocked shots (80) and hits (306) across 82 games in 2024-25. His all-around play and toughness helped him secure a six-year, $18 million contract extension with the Blue Jackets in March. Olivier topped the league with 15 major penalties while ranking second in the NHL in PIM and hits. He will be a physical presence for Columbus in 2025-26 and could be a solid depth option in banger leagues if he reaches the 30-point mark again. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Olivier is a fourth-line forward who has some fantasy relevancy in certain situations thanks to his gritty play. He finished the 2023-24 campaign with five goals, 12 points, 70 PIM and 163 hits across 54 contests with the Blue Jackets. He has one season left on his two-year, $2.2 million contract and is expected to serve in largely the same role again this year. That should lead to him once again recording over 60 PIM and 150 hits, but he's unlikely to do too much offensively.
