2026 Fantasy Outlook
Batherson had his best season yet, and he remained durable despite missing the first three games of the season. The 28-year-old winger produced 33 goals and 38 assists across 79 regular-season games, firing 167 shots and adding 13 goals and 17 assists on the power play -- elite man-advantage production. He chipped in 122 hits and 33 PIM for genuine multi-category appeal. Batherson is locked into a premium role on Ottawa's top power-play unit alongside Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle. Project another 30-goal, 70-plus-point season in 2026-27 with strong peripherals. Batherson is an early-to-mid-round target whose combination of special-teams production and physicality gives him a great floor across scoring formats. Read Past Outlooks

Overall
Signed a six-year, $29.95 million contract with the Senators in September of 2021.
Seeking eight-year contract
Batherson is seeking an eight-year contract extension before the mid-September deadline to sign a deal of that length, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Batherson has been a strong contributor for the Senators in recent years, most recently recording a career-high 33 goals and 71 points, along with 122 hits, 33 PIM and 22 blocked shots, while averaging 17:21 of ice time across 79 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. He's entering the final season of his six-year contract and hopes to reach a long-term agreement with Ottawa before the new collective bargaining agreement takes effect, which limits the maximum length of a contract extension to seven years, down from the previous mark of eight. Regardless of Batherson's contract status heading into the regular season, he should take on a prominent role for Ottawa once again during the 2026-27 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
Batherson had 26 goals and 68 points across 82 regular-season outings with Ottawa in 2024-25, making it his third straight campaign with at least 20 goals and 60 points. The 27-year-old gets a lot of his value from the power play, which accounted for nearly half of his points (31) last campaign. That makes him somewhat dependent on maintaining a spot on the top power-play unit for his production, but given his track record of success, Ottawa is expected to keep him in that role. Batherson also has a physical aspect of his game -- he had 30 PIM and 149 hits in 2024-25 -- which gives him some added versatility in certain fantasy leagues. We’ve probably seen Batherson’s peak, but he’s likely to maintain it for several years to come, especially because he’s stayed remarkably healthy with an active iron man streak of 256 consecutive games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not close to deal?
Batherson and the Senators aren't close to an agreement on a contract extension, according to Bruce Garrioch of The Ottawa Sun on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Batherson has a season remaining on his six-year, $29.85 million contract and isn't eligible for unrestricted free agency until the summer of 2027. That gives the Senators and Batherson plenty of time to close the gap. The 28-year-old had 33 goals and 71 points over 79 regular-season outings in 2025-26. It was his fourth straight campaign with over 20 goals and 60 points. That's superb value relative to his current $4.975 million cap hit, especially with the rapid upward trajectory of NHL salaries over the past year. Garrioch reported that Batherson's next contract might come with an annual cap hit as high as $11 million.
