Dealt to Detroit
Kolesar was traded to the Red Wings from the Golden Knights on Wednesday in exchange for a 2029 third-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Kolesar will be on his second NHL club after spending parts of the last seven seasons in Vegas. He is coming off a bit of a down year, in which he had six goals and 11 assists over 82 regular-season outings. He also had 270 hits, 55 PIM, 43 blocked shots and 67 shots on net last season. Expect him to occupy a fourth-line role with the Red Wings while bringing plenty of physicality.

2020
Kolesar had 12 goals and 30 points across 82 regular-season games in 2024-25, which might not stand out, but those are new offensive career highs from him and a massive jump from the 18 points he contributed in each of 2022-23 and 2023-24. It helped that he averaged 13:12 of ice time, which is also a new personal best, though it should be cautioned that his production was sporadic. He had two notable hot streaks from Oct. 13-28 (seven points in eight games) and Dec. 21-Jan. 2 (six points in six outings) with the rest of his offense randomly trickling in throughout the campaign. Regardless, the 28-year-old might be capable of a similar level of offensive production this campaign, but his primarily value will come from his PIM and hits -- he should provide over 50 and 230, respectively, so long as he stays healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Role expected to grow
Kolesar is expected to see more time as a penalty-killer while Mark Stone, who's week-to-week with an upper-body injury, is on the shelf, The Athletic's Jesse Granger reports.
ANALYSIS
Kolesar has only averaged 0:08 of ice time as a penalty-killer through 43 games this season, a figure that should grow significantly during Stone's extended absence. Kolesar's picked up five goals and 10 points as a bottom-six option for Vegas this year.
