Injuries limited Acciari to only 55 games for the Penguins last season, including missing the final 12 contests while dealing with a lower-body issue. Even when he can stay fit, the veteran center has only reached the 25-point threshold once in his nine-year NHL career. The addition of Kevin Hayes in free agency figures to firmly cement Acciari in a fourth-line role this upcoming season - though he could be an option to move to wing if needed. Regardless of where he lines up, Acciari shouldn't be expected to produce much in terms of fantasy value.
Acciari was brought to Pittsburgh on a three-year deal this offseason to add some scoring touch and physicality to the bottom six. He tallied 14 goals and 23 points while racking up a career-high 244 hits in 77 games with the Maple Leafs and Blues last year. He buried 20 goals with the Panthers during the 2019-20 campaign but was limited to 61 total games in the following two seasons. The 31-year-old forward averaged 14:19 of ice time and should see a similar role with the Penguins this year. Acciari won't see any power-play time but should be good for a double-digit goal total despite the limited usage.
Banged up all season long, Acciari played in just 20 games in what would be his final season with the Panthers. He scored just three goals and eight points, while his average ice time dipped by nearly three and a half minutes to 11:59 per game. Acciari entered unrestricted free agency this past summer, ultimately inking a one-year deal with the Blues. The 30-year-old Rhode Island native has been a solid cheap source of hits in years past, but you can probably find a better option on draft day given Acciari's recent injury woes.
After a semi-breakout in 2019-20 saw Acciari produce 20 goals and seven assists in 66 games, regression struck last year. The 29-year-old put up 11 points in 41 contests and lost time to two upper-body injuries in 2020-21. The Rhode Island native is talented enough to convert his shots at a higher rate than 5.9 percent over a full season, but he won't get all the way back to an 18.5 percent mark -- meet in the middle and expect a 9-10 percent mark in 2021-22. Acciari should challenge for 20 points and 150 hits this year, although he'll likely be buried in the bottom six on a deep Panthers team.
Acciari had a nice first year in Florida with 20 goals and seven assists in 66 games, nearly doubling his 14-point output from the year before. While it was a strong step forward, Acciari's success was at least partly fueled by an unsustainable 18.5 shooting percentage, which is bound to see regression in 2020-21. The 29-year-old isn't known for his play-making skill, either, so he may struggle to reach 15 points in a truncated 56-game season. Acciari should still be a solid option for hits -- he had 121 last year -- but fantasy managers can probably get their physicality from higher-scoring players.
Acciari recorded 10 goals and 11 points in 60 games for the Bruins this past season, while logging just nine PIM in that span. He isn't much of a fantasy factor, but Acciari's gritty play led to him racking up 152 hits in 2017-18. He has some competition for ice time, but coach Bruce Cassidy tends to find ways to deploy the 5-foot-10, 208-pounder's hard-nosed style of play in a fourth-line role that perfectly suits the Providence College product.
Acciari profiles as a fourth-line fixture for the Bruins, who appreciate his energy level and hard-hitting ways. With just two goals, six points and 24 PIM to his credit over the course of 48 career regular-season outings, the 25-year-old Providence College product is off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats, but the sturdy 5-foot-10, 208-pounder brings plenty of grit and a consistent compete level to the table.
The 5-foot-10, 208-pound Acciari wasn't on most people's radar heading into the 2015-16 season, but the Providence College product displayed enough moxie at the AHL level in his first pro season, that he ended up seeing 19 games with the big club. Acciari is willing competitor, with modest upside on offense, as evidenced by the fact that he has just one NHL assist to his credit to date. Adding even a tad bit of offense to his game could help Acciari lock down a fourth-line role with the B's this coming season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade forthcoming
CPittsburgh Penguins
March 4, 2025
Acciari is one of the Penguins' top candidates to get moved ahead of Friday's trade deadline, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Teams love a gritty bottom-six winger who can kill penalties, things that perfectly describe Acciari. The veteran center has another year left on his contract, so he wouldn't be a pure rental for another club. For the Pens, trading Acciari would open up a roster spot for some youngsters to get minutes heading into the final weeks of the season.
