Tobias Bjornfot

Bjornfot played four NHL games with three teams in 2023-24, skating in one contest with the Kings, two for the Golden Knights and one with the Panthers. He was claimed off waivers twice while spending time on injured reserve and appearing in 14 AHL outings between Ontario and Henderson on conditioning loans. Bjornfot didn't record a single point with the five teams he played for last campaign. At the NHL level, he was credited with one shot on goal, seven blocked shots and four hits. The 23-year-old defender will compete for a depth spot with Florida during training camp, but getting playing time in 2024-25 will be difficult, and he doesn't move the needle from a fantasy perspective either.

Bjornfot is in line for more ice time after averaging 16:51 in 33 games as a teenager last year. The defender was a bit over his head in possession, but we'd expect that of any kid playing against men. Bjornfot has top-four upside with second-unit power play potential, but this season he'll simply be expected to grow his game. And that means Bjornfot's fantasy value lies in the future. It's too early to overinvest unless you're in a dynasty league with a really big bench.
