Grabs one-year deal
Cotter agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.15 million contract with Vancouver on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Cotter missed the 20-point mark last year for the first time since his 2022-23 rookie campaign, which may have factored into New Jersey's decision not to give him a qualifying offer. Even with a change of scenery, the 26-year-old center is unlikely to be anything more than a bottom-six forward who helps kill penalties. He'll add some value in formats that utilize hits, but is otherwise a relative non-factor.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
In his three seasons as a full-time NHL player, Cotter has two double-digit goal-scoring campaigns. In both of those seasons, his shooting percentage was over 17 percent, a high mark to try to maintain year-over-year. Those two seasons, including last year’s numbers of 16 goals and six assists, bookend a season in which the 25-year-old scored just seven times, shooting 7.0 percent, though he had a career-high 25 points that year. Whether or not the goal-scoring is present or not, one thing remains constant and that's Cotter's ability to bring the boom. The physical forward threw a career-high 245 hits last season, the second-straight 200-hit season of his career. At the very least, it’s fair to expect another big physical season from Cotter, but to expect him to score enough goals to warrant fantasy consideration might not be as wise of a gamble.
