Trevor Moore

Moore was essentially an afterthought from a fantasy perspective at a start of last season, but he quickly emerged as an option in deeper formats. The California native had a career season, posting 17 goals, 48 points, 202 shots on goal, and a plus-20 rating in 81 games. He added a pair of goals and five points in the Kings' brief playoff run. As well as Moore played, the offensive production may not be sustainable. He had just two points with the man advantage all season, which lowers his floor greatly. Moore will again be an asset for Los Angeles, but you can probably do better in your draft.

The Kings as a team didn't have a very good 2020-21 season, but Moore took advantage of the club's rebuilding status to post career-best numbers in goals (10), assists (13), points (23) and shots on goal (88). Moore played in all 56 regular-season games for LA, averaging a healthy 14:32 worth of ice time per night. Moore grew up in the LA suburbs and has looked better during his time with the Kings than at any point during his brief stint in Toronto. Moore isn't a great fantasy option, but he's clearly an NHL regular and that's a victory for both team and player at this point.

Sent west in the Jack Campbell trade last season, Moore scored three goals and five points in 15 games for his hometown club (he was born in the LA suburb of Thousand Oaks) after his arrival. The 25-year-old has been an overachiever every step of the way in his path to the NHL. Not the biggest or the fastest guy on the ice, he has enough skill to turn his plus-plus compete level into production when he gets the chance, and he led the University of Denver to the Frozen Four in his final year of college before helping the AHL Marlies win the Calder Cup in 2017-18. Moore might never be an elite offensive player, but he could carve out a role as a third-line spark plug and emerge as a fan favorite with the Kings.

Moore was never drafted, but he won't be overlooked anymore -- he's the new Zach Hyman. He's tenacious on and off the puck, he has speed and skill, and that more than makes up for his lack of size. Leafs coach Mike Babcock loves hard-working guys who earn their ice time, and Moore does just that. He's a perfect fit for the Leafs' bottom six, but there's also a chance that his dogged determination earns him a third-line role, which could make Moore worthy of a short-term waiver-wire grab if he shows well there.
