2023 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Andrew O'Brien in 2023. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Predators in May of 2017.
Acquired by Dallas, bound for AHL Texas
DDallas Stars  Free Agent
February 3, 2018
The Predators traded O'Brien to the Stars on Saturday, with forward Mark McNeill going the other way.
ANALYSIS
It's already been determined that O'Brien will start out with AHL Texas. He hasn't played in an NHL game since the Ducks originally took him in the fourth round (108th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, but the Stars' Achilles heel had been suspect play on the blue line before shoring up that area this season, and O'Brien should serve as a nice organizational depth option in case the defensive corps gets ravaged by injuries.

2014 Fantasy Outlook
O’Brien has been in minor leagues for just a year since being drafted by the Ducks. He’s a rugged blueliner who has overcome adversity for years. He was overlooked by the OHL as a teen, so he took his hockey back to the QMJHL. He was then overlooked in his first year of eligibility for the NHL draft. He needs to improve his skating and learn how to pick his spots a whole lot better. But he’ll be a bone-rattling powerhouse if he can ever earn an NHL gig. That’s several years away, though.
