23-Year-Old DefensemanD
Seattle Kraken
2024 Fantasy Outlook
It's not quite "put up or shut up" time for Evans, considering he is just 22 years old, but a strong showing during the preseason would likely force the Kraken to keep him on the roster for Opening Night. In his rookie campaign last year, the Calgary native notched one goal and eight assists in 36 contests while averaging 19:11 of ice time. Evans has put his offensive upside on display in the minutes, with 15 points in 25 regular-season clashes with AHL Coachella Valley, a skill he will be looking to translate to the next level. While Evans may not be worth taking in redraft formats, he should definitely be on your roster in dynasty formats and could be a midseason waiver pickup. Read Past Outlooks

Poised to play

April 8, 2025
Evans (illness) will be available for Tuesday's matchup against Utah, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings, Evans could replace Cale Fleury in Tuesday's lineup. The 23-year-old Evans has five goals, 25 points, 59 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and 118 hits across 69 appearances this season.
