Alexei Toropchenko

Bottom-six forwards are almost always not noteworthy offensively, and Toropchenko is no exception. He had four goals and 18 points across 80 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, which is about as much as fantasy managers should expect from him this year. He’s not a good source of PIM either -- he has 55 over his past two seasons -- but the 26-year-old did tie for 17th in hits with 223. If poolies need hits and are willing to accept minimal contributions in other categories, then Toropchenko is an option. However, most fantasy managers will have the luxury of finding forwards who can give them hits while also contributing elsewhere. Read Past Outlooks
