Shawn Hutchinson is back to break down more trades in a whirlwind week, and he's also got suggestions for your roster that can help you navigate the tricky week ahead.
Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be bought out
Zaitsev is a candidate to have his contract bought out this offseason, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Zaitsev has garnered just two points in his last 15 contests, including a meager seven shots over that stretch. The blueliner is entering the final year of his NHL deal, and buying him out would save the Hawks approximately $1.6 million against the cap next season. Wherever the blueliner ends up in 2023-24, he probably shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.

Zaitsev's usage was way down last season, as he averaged just 18:59 of ice time per game compared to a career-high 22:44 two seasons ago. Zaitsev managed 36 points in his 2016-17 rookie campaign with Toronto, but he hasn't posted more than 17 points in five years since. There was a time Zaitsev was a fringe option in league's which value hits and blocks, but even that has gone out the window with his reduced role. Look elsewhere on draft day.
