2026 Fantasy Outlook
Bourque earned 20 goals and 21 assists with 147 shots and five power-play points across 82 regular-season games last year. The peripherals -- 78 hits and 21 blocked shots -- offer a touch of multi-category appeal beyond points. Bourque's role with the Predators should be bigger than his one in Dallas, so project around a 20-25-goal, 45-50-point season for 2026-27. Bourque is a late-round target with real upside in standard leagues, especially if he ends up being a staple inside of a talented top-six forward group. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Bourque was traded to Nashville on Wednesday to help Dallas free up potential cap space. The 24-year-old is now locked in as part of the Predators' young core. He had 20 goals, 21 assists, 147 shots on net, 78 hits and a plus-6 rating over 82 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Look for Bourque to fill a middle-six role with his new team.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Bourque's NHL career is off to a relatively humble beginning after he put up 25 points in 73 regular-season appearances as a rookie. He didn't play much in the playoffs, drawing in for just three of 18 postseason contests as the Stars opted for a more veteran roster. At 23 years old, Bourque still has room to grow, and while that could be tough for him to do in Dallas, there's plenty of reason to be optimistic. For one, he shot 13.8 percent last year despite averaging 12:41 of ice time. That shows his skill, though his efficiency could drop if he's able to grow his shot volume, which was just over one per game. Bourque will need to find a way to at least get consistent third-line usage in 2025-26, and even then, he's more a sleeper option in fantasy than a must-draft player.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headed for Music CIty
Bourque is being traded to Nashville from Dallas in a deal that is expected to bring picks back the other way, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Bourque will still need a new contract from the Predators, but the organization will have some time to work with the restricted free agent. In 82 regular-season games last year, the 24-year-old center notched 20 goals and 21 helpers, including five power-play points. If he can earn an expanded role with the man advantage in Nashville, Bourque should be capable of pushing for the 30-goal and 60-point thresholds in 2026-27.
