2024 Fantasy Outlook
Stillman is a veteran of 158 regular-season games at the NHL level, but he spent 2023-24 in the minors, recording two goals, six points and 49 points in 47 regular-season contests with AHL Rochester. He's likely to spend the majority of 2024-25 with AHL Chicago, though a final determination on that has been delayed until he recovers from a lower-body issue that resulted in him starting the campaign on the injured non-roster list. If he does play in the NHL, his fantasy value will be very limited. Although he can be a big offensive contributor in the minors, the 26-year-old hasn't shown that he can translate that aspect of his game to the NHL. He does alright in terms of PIM and hits, but there is a wealth of better options out there for both categories. Read Past Outlooks

Lower Body
October 30, 2024
Stillman (lower body) rejoined the Hurricanes on Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Stillman has dealt with a lower-body injury since late September and began the season on the injured non-roster list. He was away from the team over the past few weeks but was still skating during that time, and he donned a regular jersey during Wednesday's practice session. It's not yet clear when the 26-year-old will be cleared for game action, but it's possible that he's sent to AHL Chicago once he's deemed fully healthy.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2020
Stillman is carving out a life as a journeyman defenseman, having already played for four NHL teams over the first five campaigns of his career. At no point during his time at the top level has he been a major offensive force, and that trend continued in 2022-23 with him recording a goal and eight points in 50 outings between Vancouver and Buffalo, but there is some grit to his game. He finished last season with 36 PIM and 81 hits, and the 25-year-old should be able to do about as well in 2023-24 if he gets into a comparable number of contests. Buffalo signed defensemen Connor Clifton and Erik Johnson over the summer, though, which will likely result in Stillman seeing a diminished role this season.
Stillman had a more consistent role in 2019-20, recording five helpers, 59 hits and 57 blocked shots in 34 appearances. It appears the 22-year-old blueliner will step into a near-everyday role in 2020-21, as he's projected to skate on the Panthers' third pairing. A fourth-round pick from 2016, Stillman has yet to show much of a scoring touch at the NHL level, which will keep most fantasy managers away. He should see at least 18 minutes per game while providing decent non-scoring numbers, so he could be worth a look in the deepest of formats.

Expected to be scratched
DVancouver Canucks
December 14, 2022
Per Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province, Stillman didn't skate on one of the top three pairings during morning practice, putting him on track to sit as a healthy scratch Wednesday versus Clagary.
ANALYSIS
Stillman has appeared in five straight games for Vancouver, picking up two helpers over that span, but he's expected to be replaced in the lineup by Kyle Burroughs for Wednesday's contest. Stillman will likely continue to rotate in and out of the lineup as a bottom-pairing option for the Canucks.
