2024 Fantasy Outlook

A first-round pick (26th overall) in 2018, Bernard-Docker was a regular for the first time for the Senators a season ago, appearing in 72 of 82 regular-season games. He managed just four goals and 14 points, although Bernard-Docker did add 62 hits and 156 blocked shots. Set to play the entirety of this upcoming season at age 24, JBD seems likely to battle veteran Travis Hamonic for a spot on Ottawa's third defensive pairing to begin the year. The winner will have zero fantasy appeal. Read Past Outlooks

Registers assist Thursday

DBuffalo Sabres

April 17, 2025

Bernard-Docker logged an assist, four shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.

ANALYSIS
The helper ended an 11-game point drought for Bernard-Docker. The 24-year-old defenseman lost a large chunk of his season to an ankle injury, which limited him to 40 games between the Sabres and the Senators. He picked up eight points, 32 shots on net, 30 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. A first-round pick back in 2018, Bernard-Docker is running out of developmental runway -- it's quite possible his peak is that of a bottom-four defenseman who adds little on offense.

Likely headed for Buffalo

DOttawa Senators

March 7, 2025

Bernard-Docker and Josh Norris are reportedly being traded to Buffalo from Ottawa on Friday, Kevin Weekes of ESPN reports.

ANALYSIS
Bernard-Docker has been out of action since Dec. 28 due to an ankle injury. While the defenseman has been cleared from his injury, he's yet to actually see any minutes on the Sens' blue line, and now it appears his time in Ottawa has come to a close. Even when healthy, the Alberta native has offered limited offensive upside, generating just four points in his 25 games this year.
