Troy Terry

After surpassing 60 points in back-to-back seasons, Terry slipped to 54 points in 76 contests during the 2023-24 campaign. His goal totals have decreased for three consecutive years, dropping from 37 in 2021-22 to 23 in 2022-23 to 20 in 2023-24. He had 17 tallies and 45 points across 53 outings before fading offensively down the stretch, contributing just three goals and six assists in his final 23 appearances of the 2023-24 season. Terry leads the Ducks with 182 points over the past three campaigns, and he should be able to get back on track in 2024-25, whether he skates alongside a healthier Trevor Zegras or continues to play with budding star Leo Carlsson.

Terry broke out in 2021-22 with 37 goals and 67 points in 75 contests and showed last season that it wasn't a fluke by contributing 23 goals and 61 points in 70 outings. The 25-year-old (26 on Sept. 10) spent plenty of time last year serving alongside Trevor Zegras on the first line, and that young duo should continue to work well together for years to come. Terry was also a mainstay on Anaheim's first power-play unit, though the Ducks struggled collectively with the man advantage, converting on just 15.7 percent of their chances. Terry's power-play production was consequently limited to five goals and 12 points, though that aspect of the team should improve as the younger players develop. As long as he stays healthy in 2023-24, it wouldn't be surprising to see Terry surpass his career-high of 67 points.

Playing for an Anaheim team lacking high-end offensive depth, Terry got his chance a season ago and ran with the opportunity. He finished with career-best marks in goals (37), assists (30), points (67), shots on goal (192), power-play points (15) and average time on ice (18:14). It was one of the league's most surprising breakout performances, and one that doesn't appear entirely sustainable given the fact Terry finished the year with an unrepeatable 19.3 percent shooting percentage. The Ducks also added veterans Ryan Strome and Frank Vatrano from the Rangers in free agency in hopes of being more competitive this coming year, so Terry's usage could dip some. The result should be mid-round fantasy value regardless, but expecting another significant step forward from Terry may be a stretch.

Terry continues to take steps forward, as he posted a career-high 20 points in 48 games last season. The Colorado native often bounced up and down the lineup as head coach Dallas Eakins typically rewarded players on hot streaks with more responsibility. Despite posting 1:47 of power-play ice time per game, Terry failed to record a point with the man advantage. The 23-year-old winger isn't physical enough to play in a bottom-six role, but his scoring touch has yet to truly be worthy of top-line duties. He'll need to have a breakout campaign to stave off challenges for playing time from younger prospects as the Ducks' rebuild continues in earnest in 2021-22. If he maintains his scoring pace, Terry could produce 30-35 points and 110 shots on goal, but don't expect much physicality out of him -- he has just 12 hits in 129 career NHL games.

Terry recorded four goals and 11 assists in 47 games as he took another step toward being a full-time player for the Ducks last season. The 23-year-old offers virtually nothing from a physical standpoint -- he only posted three hits and six PIM last year -- so his fantasy value will strictly be based on his production in scoring categories. Terry, a fifth-round pick from 2015, has yet to play at higher than a third-line level in the NHL, and it's expected he'll open 2020-21 in that role behind Rickard Rakell and Sonny Milano on the right-wing depth chart.

Terry posted four goals and nine assists in 13 games with the Ducks last season, and also added 41 points in as many games with AHL San Diego. The fifth-round pick from 2015 is expected to be one of the leading members of an impending youth movement for the Ducks, and will be competing with Kiefer Sherwood and Daniel Sprong for a middle-six role during this year's training camp. The Denver native suffered a broken leg towards the end of the 2018-19 campaign, but he should be back to 100 percent once on-ice activities resume in September. If he can hold onto a top-six role for the entirety of the 2019-20 season, Terry could produce double-digit goals and 30-plus points, making him an appealing depth option in deeper fantasy formats.

In the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championships, Terry scored three shootout goals against Russia to advance Team USA to the finals. That wasn't the end of his international play, as the 20-year-old also logged five assists in the 2018 Winter Olympics. This is all while being a top forward in the NCAA, reeling in 93 points and a plus-52 rating in 74 games over the last two seasons for the University of Denver. Terry may be a top-tier talent, but he's a wait-and-see candidate since the Ducks are already stacked at right wing and may want him to get top-six minutes with AHL San Diego.
