2025 Fantasy Outlook
Paul had a career-high 46 points over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24, and he followed that up with 41 points across 76 appearances last campaign. He also added two goals in five playoff outings for a second straight year. Paul may have found his offensive ceiling, crossing the 20-goal plateau and recording 40-plus points in each of the last two seasons. However, his hit and faceoff totals suffered in 2024-25. He split time between the top six and bottom six, which cut into his playing time, and he logged fewer minutes on the first power-play unit. However, Paul could reach similar statistics in 2025-26 while playing up and down the lineup as one of the Lightning's most versatile forwards. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a seven-year, $22.05 million contract extension with the Lightning in July of 2022.

2015
Paul set career highs in 2023-24 with 24 goals and 46 points in 82 regular-season games, but that's about a best-case scenario for him. The 29-year-old was getting plenty of playing time with 17:16 per contest, and he was shooting at a career-high 15.7 percent. If anything, he'll probably do a little worse offensively this campaign, though he will offer a bit of versatility for fantasy managers by supplying 100-125 hits. He's also strong on the draw, having won 54 percent of his faceoffs, 1,026 in total, over the past two seasons.
