2025 Projections
Signed a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Panthers in July of 2023. Traded from Las Vegas to Nashville in February of 2025.
Sent to Nashville in trade
Denisenko was traded from the Golden Knights to the Predators on Tuesday in exchange for future considerations.
ANALYSIS
Denisenko was held without a point in his only appearance with Vegas this season. The former first-round selection in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft has struggled to live up to his draft pedigree -- he hasn't found the back of the net through 33 career games. Nashville is dealing with numerous injuries to its forward group, so Denisenko could find himself in a consistent role going forward.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2020
Denisenko signed a two-year contract in July of 2023, but that didn't prevent the Golden Knights from sending him to the minors last season, where he had 20 goals and 56 points in 65 AHL games. Denisenko was selected 15th overall in 2018 by the Panthers, but he has not lived up to expectations, as the 24-year-old has yet to score in 32 career NHL games over a span of four seasons. Denisenko will battle for a bottom-six role with the Golden Knights in training camp, but he needs to play in a top-nine role for Vegas to benefit from his offensive talent. Denisenko is best left on the waiver wire heading into the regular season in your fantasy draft.
