28-Year-Old DefensemanD
New York Rangers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Once again, Borgen played in all 82 regular-season games for the second straight year while seeing an uptick in minutes, averaging 17:35 of ice time. While he certainly won't be confused for a Norris Trophy contender, the physical blueliner is coming off a 2023-24 in which he set new personal bests with 22 assists and 25 points. While he can probably be safely relied upon to get between 25-30 points next year, the Minnesota native's real value will come in formats that utilize blocked shots and hits, of which he managed 111 and 195, respectively, last season.

Borgen logged an assist in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Sharks.
ANALYSIS
Borgen has four points over his last eight outings, serving as a steady defenseman in a bottom-four role. The 28-year-old is up to 14 points, 69 shots on net, 118 hits, 107 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 76 games between the Rangers and the Kraken this season. He's earned 12 of those points across 43 appearances since he was traded to the Rangers, but his offense is still a little too low to be trusted in standard fantasy formats.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
While it was far from an explosive performance, Borgen racked up three goals, 20 points, 203 hits and 89 blocked shots in 82 contests last season. It was his first full NHL campaign, and by the end of it, he was on the Kraken's second pairing as part of a shutdown duo with Jamie Oleksiak. That's the role that awaits Borgen heading into 2023-24, where another 20-point campaign is a perfectably reasonable estimate. He'll always add a bit of grit, but there's likely not enough scoring in his playing style to justify selecting him in most fantasy formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Nearing extension
DNew York Rangers
January 25, 2025
Borgen is expected to sign a five-year extension with the Rangers at a $4.1 million cap hit, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Borgen was traded to the Rangers from the Kraken in December in exchange for Kaapo Kakko. Borgen already has three points over 17 contests with the Rangers, surpassing the two points he logged over 33 appearances with Seattle. He's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy due to his limited scoring output, but he's been steady defensively with his new team.
