2024 Fantasy Outlook
Chatfield posted personal bests in goals (eight), assists (14), points (22), blocked shots (66) and average ice time (15:12) during the 2023-24 campaign. Rather than test the market as an unrestricted free agent, he agreed to a three-year, $9 million contract extension with the Hurricanes in June. Chatfield has developed into a solid depth defender for the organization over the past two seasons. He will probably be back with Dmitry Orlov after they were used regularly together in 2023-24. The 28-year-old Chatfield could be a 25-point performer in the upcoming campaign, but he won't offer much help for fantasy managers in other categories. Read Past Outlooks

Chatfield (undisclosed) is set to miss Game 5 against the Panthers on Wednesday, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.
ANALYSIS
It will be Chatfield's sixth straight game on the shelf. He has a goal, eight shots, nine hits and 11 blocks across nine playoff outings this year. Sean Walker (undisclosed) is also expected to remain out of the lineup Wednesday, which makes it likely that Scott Morrow and Alexander Nikishin will play.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2020
Chatfield was primarily an AHL guy over the course of his first five professional seasons, but he seized a full-time role for Carolina last year, appearing in 78 games and finishing with a six goals and 14 points. He also played in all 15 playoff games for the club. It was a nice run for the player, but with the signings of Dmitry Orlov, Tony DeAngelo and Caleb Jones this offseason, Chatfield will need to compete to maintain his place on one of the strongest blue lines in the league.
Chatfield shuttled between the Canucks and AHL Utica frequently last year, often serving as an emergency option on the blue line. He has yet to make his NHL debut, and it's not looking all that likely in 2020-21, either. While Tyler Myers and Jordie Benn aren't exciting options on defense, they're vastly more experienced than Chatfield. The Canucks also have Travis Hamonic in training camp on a tryout, and he'll likely have an actual contract before the season starts. With that in mind, Chatfield will likely be organizational depth again this year, with no guarantee of getting NHL playing time on the horizon.
