Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
Cave split time between Boston and Edmonton in 2018-19, collecting eight points in 53 games with both clubs and adding 18 more in 15 minor-league contests with AHL Providence. The 24-year-old spent some time in Edmonton's top six following the trade from the Bruins, but Cave figures to plummet down the Oilers depth chart in 2019-20. Outside of winding up on a line alongside Connor McDavid and/or Leon Draisaitl, Cave offers little-to-no fantasy value and should be left on the waiver wire to start the 2019-20 campaign.
