2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Dakota Joshua in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Signed a four-year, $13 million contract with the Canucks in June of 2024. Traded to the Maple Leafs in July of 2025.
Acquired for pick
LWToronto Maple Leafs
July 17, 2025
Joshua was brought in by the Leafs on Thursday from the Canucks in exchange for a 2028 fourth-round pick.
ANALYSIS
Joshua is coming off a disappointing 2024-25 campaign with Vancouver in which he failed to reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since 2021-22 -- a problem that was in no small part caused by his 57 regular-season appearances. If he can stay healthy this season, Joshua should be capable of locking down a middle-six role with the Leafs, though he's far from a lock to avoid stints on the fourth line or in the press box.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Joshua established himself as a regular in the NHL during the 2022-23 campaign and set new career highs last season with 18 goals and 32 points across 63 regular-season contests. Although he's a late bloomer, the Michigan native is 28 years old, so further growth shouldn't be anticipated. Unfortunately, Joshua underwent surgery for testicular cancer during the offseason and won't be ready at the start of the campaign. In other words, don't expect him to finish above the 30-40 point range this season. Joshua is a gritty forward, though, which gives him some added versatility in fantasy leagues.
Joshua finally saw steady playing time and made the most of it with 11 goals, 12 assists, 222 hits, 71 shots on goal and 60 PIM in 79 games for the Canucks last year. The 27-year-old's playing style doesn't lend itself to much more than a third-line role, but he could hit his way into relevance. Joshua's 15.5 shooting percentage is sure to drop in 2023-24, so there's a chance he could top out at 20 points -- that's a mark that will likely leave him on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely heading to Toronto
LWVancouver Canucks
July 17, 2025
Joshua will likely be traded to the Maple Leafs from the Canucks on Thursday in exchange for a 2028 fourth-round pick, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Joshua spent the last three seasons in Vancouver, but he had a downturn in production during the 2024-25 campaign after missing the start of the year due to surgery to address testicular cancer. Once he was healthy, he recorded seven goals, seven assists, 193 hits and 29 blocked shots while averaging 12:58 of ice time over 57 regular-season appearances. He has experience with head coach Craig Berube from his time with the Blues, so Joshua could benefit from his change of scenery.
