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

Bernard-Docker scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

ANALYSIS
Bernard-Docker has three points over three games since he entered the Sabres' lineup. His quick success in a third-pairing role could make it tough for Jacob Bryson to see much playing time down the stretch. Bernard-Docker is already one point shy of matching his production over 25 contests with the Senators prior to the trade deadline. Overall, the defenseman has seven points, 20 shots, 27 blocks, 24 hits and a plus-4 rating over 28 appearances this season.

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.
