Oskar Back

Back played mostly on the fourth line for the Stars as a rookie during the 2024-25 regular season, recording four goals and 12 assists in 73 appearances, but he spent a good chunk of the postseason as a healthy scratch. Even if we assume the 25-year-old will go back to playing regularly in 2025-26, he's not a physical presence or a prolific shot blocker, which limits his fantasy appeal when coupled with his mild offensive numbers. Avoid Back unless you're in a deep enough league to warrant carrying a player who projects to record 15-20 points without offering much help in other categories. Read Past Outlooks
