How Will Patrick Kane’s Comeback IMPACT Fantasy Teams Before Bedard Returns?

Patrick Kane’s return to the Chicago Blackhawks sparks debate: can the 38-year-old still offer elite fantasy hockey value, especially with Connor Bedard sidelined by injury? The conversation focused on Kane’s potential impact, Bedard’s blockbuster extension, and persistent questions about Chicago’s offensive depth. A key theme that emerged was the risk of overreaching for Kane in fantasy drafts given his age and shifting team dynamics. The discussion explored Jason Robertson’s one-year, $12 million deal with the Dallas Stars and his status as a surefire first-round fantasy pick, as well as goaltender Jet Greaves’ new contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Several points were raised, including the upside of sleeper picks like Justin Rychkovian in Dallas, Kirill Marchenko’s future in Columbus, and where to find value as the NHL’s off-season moves reshape draft strategy. Can these teams contend—or will fantasy GMs find success in unexpected places? Thanks for making Locked On Fantasy Hockey your 1st listen, every day.
