2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bemstrom has been a part-time player for Columbus for three straight years. His final stat line last year was seven goals and 22 points in 55 games. On a more positive note, Bemstrom dominated the AHL (14 goals, 31 points in 21 games) during his time there. Still just 24 years of age, Bemstrom is in a tough spot moving forward. He needs top-six playing time, particularly with the man advantage, to be effective and Columbus doesn't seem able to offer that at the moment. Perhaps Bemstrom is a change-of-scene candidate in a trade. Until then, he's a pass in fantasy circles. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Bemstrom set up Adam Boqvist's tally in the second period before scoring a goal in the third, tying the game 5-5 with a one-timer off a Patrik Laine feed. Bemstrom had just one point (an assist) in his previous five contests. The 23-year-old winger is up to six goals and 19 points through 43 games this season.

Redoing the First Round of the 2017 NHL Draft

Jon Litterine details how he believes the first round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft would unfold now with the benefit of hindsight.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
A fourth-round pick in 2017, Bemstrom made his NHL debut last season and showed some occasional flashes of upside, finishing with 10 goals and 20 points in 56 games, with about half his production (five goals, eight points) coming on the power play. The 21-year-old is an asset on the attack thanks to his speed, ability to find open ice, and a quick release on his shot, and while he lacks ideal size he's a willing back-checker as well. The Jackets already have two wingers with that profile in Cam Atkinson and Oliver Bjorkstrand, however, which could lock Bemstrom out of a consistent top-six role even if he takes a step forward in his development in 2020-21.
Snagged in the fourth round in 2017, Bemstrom will get his first taste of North American hockey this season after an outstanding showing last year, when he led the SHL with 23 goals in 47 games as a 19-year-old. The list of teenagers who have put up numbers like that in Sweden's top league is short and impressive, and includes the likes of Peter Forsberg and Elias Pettersson, but Bemstrom's upside probably isn't that high. His skills make him a potentially better version of Oliver Bjorkstrand, as he uses his plus speed and strong skating to find open ice and then uses a quick trigger to beat the goalie. A good campaign in Sweden this year could set him up for a regular shift with Columbus in 2020-21.
