2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pezzetta suited up in only 25 regular-season games with Montreal last campaign after making 61 appearances in 2023-24 and playing in 63 outings in 2022-23. He has averaged a mere 8:03 of ice time in four years with the Canadiens and has reached the 15-point mark once. However, he has been a great source of hits, surpassing 235 on two previous occasions. He signed with Toronto in the offseason and could add a physical presence to the fourth line if he lands a spot with the big club. Still, it’s possible that he ends up in the minors or spends significant time in the press box as a healthy scratch. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.575 million contract with Toronto in July of 2025.
On waivers
CToronto Maple Leafs  Minors
October 5, 2025
Pezzetta was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Pezzetta joined the Maple Leafs after spending the vast majority of last year with the Canadiens as a healthy scratch. He logged only 25 games with Montreal last year and did not record a single point. The 27-year-old will now likely head to the AHL Toronto. It would be his first AHL game since 2021-22 if he ends up suiting up for the minor-league club.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A bottom-six agitator, Pezzetta had 242 hits last season despite the fact he appeared in just 61 games. The offensive production (three goals, 12 points) was predictably non-existent, but Pezzetta did provide a consistent physical element on Montreal's fourth line. The 26-year-old would likely be amongst the league leaders in hits if you could rely on him being in the lineup on a nightly basis, but that's far from a guarantee. As a result, Pezzetta is best served as a streamer for those in daily leagues looking to pick up a boatload of hits in short order.
Montreal's pletheora of injuries in 2022-23 allowed Pezzetta to rack up 15 points in 63 contests, numbers similar to his 11 points in 51 outings a year before. He's been just a fourth-line player over those two campaigns, and it's tough to expect a massive breakout at age 25 given his lack of a prominent role. If the Canadiens can stay relatively healthy as a team, Pezzetta may not even have a place in the lineup on a nightly basis. He will provide plenty of physicality after racking up 239 hits last season, and a two-year contract gives him some job security, but he's not an option for fantasy managers.

Target for Leafs?
CFree Agent
June 30, 2025
Pierre LeBrun of TSN believes Toronto could be among the teams interested in signing Pezzetta when free agency opens Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Pezzetta didn't record a point in 25 regular-season appearances with Montreal in 2024-25 while posting 73 hits and 24 PIM. The Toronto native would add some physicality to the fourth line if he ends up with the Maple Leafs.
