OSCAR FANTENBERG

OSCAR FANTENBERG - Defenseman - 27 - $.850MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021

LAST UPDATED 6/28/19
Fantenberg is not an offensive defenseman. His four points in 61 games should make that clear. Isolated impact metrics prove that point further, as he has an atrocious rating for 5v5 offense. What keeps Fantenberg in the lineup, though, is his relentless commitment to defense. He's not an incredible skater and will struggle to be an asset in transition, but he's smart enough to know what he needs to do with the puck and when he needs to do it. Fantenberg is big enough and strong enough to be a factor in board battles, and he's smart enough to be in the right place at the right time defensively. He'll never be a 20+ minute, shutdown force, but he can be a reliable, steadying defensive presence from the bottom pairing. His offensive game is so limited, though, that his overall value is still quite small, given his lack of record killing penalties. He's best suited as a purely defensive #7 defenseman on a good team, but can probably survive as a #6 on a team that really needs him.
