2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rooney accumulated three goals, four points, two PIM and 65 hits in 33 regular-season contests with the Flames in 2023-24. His efforts were good enough to secure a one-year, $1.3 million contract for the 2024-25 campaign. Rooney will likely spend the season alternating between serving on the fourth line and being a healthy scratch. When he is in the lineup, he should be a decent source of hits, but the 31-year-old is unlikely to provide meaningful help in any other category. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract extension with the Flames in March of 2024.
Poised to play Thursday

October 24, 2024
Rooney (concussion) is expected back in the lineup versus Carolina on Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
ANALYSIS
Rooney missed the Flames' previous five games following a concussion suffered in the season opener against Vancouver on Oct. 9. With the veteran forward retaking his spot on the fourth line, Adam Klapka will find himself back in the press box after suiting up in the prior two matchups. For his part, Rooney has never reached the 15-point threshold in his seven full NHL seasons, so fantasy players shouldn't be banking on him for offensive contributions.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2018
Rangers management thought enough of Rooney's 54-game maiden voyage with New York in 2020-21 to protect him over Colin Blackwell in the expansion draft. Rooney's offensive upside is very limited, although he did post-career best marks in goals (eight), points (14),and hits (110) last year. Rooney's upside is a fourth-line, penalty-killer who can win a faceoff with some regularity, a key component for a team that was one of the worst in the NHL at the dot last season. Rooney provides real value for the Rangers considering he's making just $750,000 per year, but he can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.
Rooney's a defensive-minded forward who will compete for a spot on the Rangers' fourth line. He played in 90 games for the Devils over the past two seasons, chipping in 10 goals and nine assists. The 27-year-old center will likely be a part of New York's taxi squad and play a role on the penalty kill when he's in the lineup, but Rooney was signed more as injury insurance than a player expected to be on the ice most nights.
Rooney's a long shot to make the Devils roster. The 25-year-old Providence College product is yet to find the scoresheet in five NHL appearances, though he did raise his AHL point total to 34 last season after contributing only 21 in 2016-17. There's little reason to look Rooney's way in any format, as he's just organizational depth down the middle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Skating again?
CCalgary Flames
November 27, 2023
Per Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun, Rooney, who has yet to play this season due to a shoulder injury, now has a stall in Calgary's locker room, which suggests he's likely resumed skating.
ANALYSIS
Although the Flames have yet to provide an official update on Rooney's status, the fact that he's seemingly begun skating suggests his recovery is progressing well. The 30-year-old forward picked up one helper through 17 games with Calgary last year.
