2025 Fantasy Outlook
Called up to the NHL in January after compiling 20 goals and 28 points in 35 games with AHL Hershey, Frank deserved his promotion. The 27-year-old has scored at least 20 goals in each of his last three seasons with the Bears, so he could push for a more prominent role with the Capitals this year. Frank ended up with four goals, seven points and a plus-3 rating across 24 regular-season contests after being elevated from the minors. While the winger will need to continue to earn the trust of Washington’s coaching staff, he’s a name to keep an eye on if he remains on the roster out of training camp. Frank would probably need a middle-six job to have a substantial impact in fantasy, though. Read Past Outlooks
