Balcers had the best season of his brief NHL career a year ago, posting new high-water marks in goals (11), assists (12), points (23), shots on goal (98), average time on ice (15:02), hits (115) and blocks (43), all while playing in 61 games for the Sharks. Those are decent numbers for a bottom-six depth guy, but Balcers' role seems likely to decrease significantly considering he inked a one-year deal in free agency with a much deeper Panthers team. He can be ignored in all fantasy formats.
