Brayden Pachal

25-Year-Old DefensemanD
Calgary Flames
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Before the Flames plucked Pachal off waivers last season, he had seen action in just 29 NHL games over parts of three seasons for the Golden Knights. The 24-year-old blueliner logged 33 contests for Calgary last year, recording one goal, five assists and 81 hits. The undrafted defenseman should be a regular in the lineup this season and does offer some offensive intrigue. Still, Pachal's primary fantasy value will come from his physicality and willingness to put his body on the line. Across a full 82-game season, Pachal could challenge for the 200-hit and 100-block marks. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Golden Knights in June of 2023.
Light on offense, still playing
DCalgary Flames
November 19, 2024
Pachal was held off the scoresheet for the 18th straight game in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders.
ANALYSIS
Pachal earned a helper Opening Night versus the Canucks, but he hasn't gotten on the scoresheet since. The 25-year-old defenseman also hasn't been scratched, doing an excellent job of keeping Tyson Barrie and Joel Hanley in limited roles. Pachal may be lacking in offense, but he has 50 hits, 25 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 19 outings, so he's still contributing in the non-scoring areas.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Pachal got into 10 NHL games last season, racking up two assists, 27 hits and 18 shots on goal. He spent the bulk of the campaign with AHL Henderson, posting 15 points in 55 contests while captaining the minor-league team. Pachal will likely be on the outside looking in again for Vegas entering 2023-24, but his leadership and defense could help him compete for a third-pairing role. Given his track record for scoring, he's unlikely to be much of a factor in fantasy even if he can make the Opening Night roster, though an uptick in offense can't be discounted entering his age-24 season.
