2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lafferty spent parts of two seasons with the Blackhawks from 2021-23, and after stints with three other teams, he is back with Chicago for the 2025-26 season. The 30-year-old is coming off a tough season with the Sabres, notching just four goals and three assists with a minus-15 rating in 60 games. He didn’t get much ice time when he played, averaging 9:53 per contest. The role he’ll play with Chicago figures to be similar, assuming he cracks the lineup on an everyday basis. The six-year veteran is no longer an offensive threat, so whether or not he has any fantasy value will be strictly determined by whether his physicality ticks up from 2024-25 -- he had just 89 hits last year, compared to 192 in 2023-24.

Signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Sabres in July of 2024.
Not taking advantage of chances
Lafferty was in the lineup for a fourth straight game Tuesday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
ANALYSIS
Lafferty has played in just six of 28 games since the start of January, though he has seen an uptick in usage since Oliver Moore (lower body) exited the lineup. However, Lafferty could be the player to lose his place once Sacha Boisvert's visa paperwork is completed, paving the way for him to join the Blackhawks. In a part-time role this season, Lafferty has earned a meager two points with six shots on net, 29 hits and 14 PIM over 23 outings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2020
2019
Lafferty netted a career-high 13 goals and supplied 24 points in 79 games with Vancouver last season. Most of his production came during a 20-game span from Oct. 31-Dec. 9 when he notched seven tallies and six helpers. Lafferty took advantage of his time in the top six for the Canucks before dropping into a bottom-six role on the depth chart. He signed a two-year, $4 million contract with Buffalo in free agency. Lafferty set a new personal best in 2023-24 with 191 hits, marking a third consecutive campaign with at least 125 bodychecks. He utilizes his speed to pressure opponents and kill penalties but doesn't move the needle much from a fantasy perspective.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might test UFA market
Lafferty might opt to become an unrestricted free agent July 1, per Scott Powers of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Lafferty has completed his two-year, $4 million contract. He had a goal and an assist in just 29 regular-season appearances with Chicago in 2025-26. He had played a minimum of 56 games in each of the prior four regular seasons, so Lafferty isn't used to spending this much time as a healthy scratch. He's expected to join Team USA for the upcoming IIHF World Championship, and a strong performance in that tournament might increase the number of interested suitors.
