2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Oscar Dansk in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Shoots Left
Height 6'3"
DOB 2/28/1994
Born Stockholm, Sweden
Drafted 2nd Rd, #31 Overall in 2012
Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Ducks in September of 2024.
Sent down Friday
GAnaheim Ducks  Free Agent
February 28, 2025
Dansk was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Dansk's demotion comes after he's served as backup goalie behind Lukas Dostal while John Gibson (upper body) has been out since his injury last Saturday versus the Bruins. While this doesn't guarantee that Gibson is healthy, if Dansk remains in the minors leading up to Saturday's game versus the Blackhawks, it should be assumed that the Ducks will move forward with their usual top two goalies.

2012
The chances of Dansk getting into an NHL game in 2020-21 will fully depend on the health of Robin Lehner and Marc-Andre Fleury. With the Golden Knights having one of the best goaltending duos at the top of their depth chart, Dansk projects as the taxi squad goalie after he had an 18-12-4 record with a 2.57 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 35 games with AHL Chicago last year. The 26-year-old goalie has played in five career NHL contests, so he's not an unknown quantity, but fantasy managers in most formats won't need to hang onto him even as an emergency option -- Lehner and Fleury are both capable of being workhorses if either one gets hurt.
After Dansk was't offered a qualifying offer by the Blue Jackets at the end of the 2016-17 season, he signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Golden Knights. The 24-year-old appeared in four games for Vegas, posting a perfect 3-0-0 record with a .946 save percentage. The 24-year-old likely won't see much NHL action in 2018-19 behind Marc-Andre Fleury and Malcolm Subban, but he proved in limited action last season he can be called upon when needed. If Fleury goes down with injury or Subban fails to establish himself at the NHL level, Dansk could be a sneaky good fantasy pick-up next season.
Dansk was originally selected by the Blue Jackets in the second round (31st overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, but the former goalie prospect latched on with Vegas as a free agent this past summer. This left-catching tender takes up a lot of real estate between the pipes at 6-foot-3, plus he's quick on his feet. If the expansion Golden Knights find themselves searching for an emergency netminder during the 2017-18 season, Dansk could prove to be an adequate fill-in, as he has sufficient experience playing in his native Sweden.
The Blue Jackets' goalie of the future had an up-and-down season in the OHL, but his final numbers for an improving Erie squad (29 wins, 2.39 GAA, .909 save percentage) were solid. He shone at the World Juniors for Sweden, and will make his pro debut this season for Springfield in the AHL, which potentially puts him one or two injuries away from a call-up. The building blocks are all there for him to make an impact in the NHL, but with Sergei Bobrovsky still in his prime, the Jackets will be in no rush to get Dansk to Columbus.
Dansk's numbers suffered in his first OHL season playing behind a porous blue line for a rebuilding Erie franchise, but assuming he can maintain his confidence level the butterfly goalie has the talent and potential to be an NHL starter down the road.
Dansk isn't your typical big-ice European goaltending prospect, having already spent time playing at a Minnesota prep school and even talking about playing in the OHL rather than continuing his development in Sweden. He doesn't have prototypical size, but makes up for it with great quickness, and, at least to this point in his career, has shown good focus and mental toughness. He's a few years away, but he could be the franchise goalie Columbus sorely needs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Seeking return to NHL
GFree Agent
March 23, 2022
Dansk may be interested in returning to the NHL in 2022-23, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
ANALYSIS
Dansk split time between Vegas and AHL Henderson in 2020-21 before moving over to the KHL's Spartak Moscow this season. He posted a 2.66 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 17 regular-season games in Russia. It's unclear how much interest he'll earn from NHL teams, but he's yet to show much to think he'd be more than a backup if he signs in North America.
