2025 Fantasy Outlook
Montour inked a seven-year, $49.98 million contract with Seattle in free agency last year and subsequently set a new career high in goals with 18, but he struggled as a playmaker, registering just 23 assists over 81 appearances. The 31-year-old’s 73-point season with Florida in 2022-23 was likely an outlier -- he hasn’t registered more than 41 points in any other campaign in his nine-year career. While he fills a top-four role in addition to receiving power-play time, Seattle has other blueliners capable of contributing from the back end in Vince Dunn and Ryker Evans. As a result, Montour’s offensive upside will probably be less than that of a true No. 1 defenseman. The smooth-skating blueliner should be more comfortable in his second full season with the Kraken, though fantasy managers can only hope to see an improvement on Montour’s career-worst minus-22 rating from 2024-25.

Overall
Signed a seven-year, $49.98 million contract with the Kraken in July of 2024.
Undergoes hand surgery
Montour will be sidelined for at least four weeks after having hand surgery, the Kraken announced Monday. Additionally, the blueliner was placed on injured reserve.
ANALYSIS
Montour has already been on the shelf for the last two games and now figures to be out of action until mid-to-late January. Through 27 games this year, the 31-year-old defenseman has generated six goals and 10 helpers, including four power-play points.

2017
Montour had an incredible 73 points in 80 outings during the 2022-23 campaign, but he dropped back to eight goals and 33 points across 66 regular-season contests last year. His 73-point showing was by far the highest of his career with his next best being 37 in 2021-22, so it's hard to bet on the 30-year-old reaching that mark again. It might be especially difficult for Montour to replicate that career high after moving from the Stanley Cup-winning Panthers to Seattle, which ranked 29th offensively with 2.61 goals per game in 2023-24, over the summer. Sure, Seattle will lean on Montour heavily, but the Canadian blueliner was already getting an average of 23:27 of ice time, including 3:54 with the man advantage, in Florida last season, so it's not like the change of scenery will result in a major increase in responsibilities. There's always that chance Montour will recapture his past offensive glory, but it would be better to pencil him in for around 40 points.
