2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bichsel played in just 38 games in the regular season, but threw a staggering 155 hits, on pace for 334 hits over a full 82-game season. The 21-year-old finished the 2024-25 season as a lineup regular and also appeared in all 18 of the Stars' postseason contests. While the offense wasn't there -- he finished with 10 combined points in 56 games between regular season and postseason -- there is definitely another level to discover in the young defenseman's game. Entering his second season in the NHL, Bichsel should have a regular role in the lineup and the chance to stack up hits and elevate his game offensively over a full year, leaving him as a deep potential breakout candidate that should be available at the tail end of drafts.

Overall
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Stars in May of 2023.
Yet to begin rehab
Bichsel (lower body) is targeting a return date just before or after the Olympic break, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bichsel is still not weight-bearing and has yet to begin rehabbing his lower-body injury, suffered Nov. 30. The 21-year-old was placed on long-term injured reserve and is still a ways out from a return. Bichsel had one goal and two assists with a plus-6 rating in 26 games prior to his injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might have avoided serious injury
Head coach Glen Gulutzan relayed Sunday that Bichsel's undisclosed injury may not be as severe as it initially looked, per Robert Tiffin of D Magazine.
ANALYSIS
Gulutzan also said that Bichsel will be evaluated further, but all things considered, this update is good news given that Bichsel looked to be in a lot of pain and needed to be helped to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Senators. The 21-year-old has just three points across 26 appearances this year, but he's racked up 85 hits.
