2025 Fantasy Outlook
Forbort is a depth defenseman, and he shouldn't be on the radar for most fantasy managers. In 54 games last season, he produced 11 points with 65 hits, 77 blocked shots and 45 PIM while filling a bottom-four role with the Canucks. His season ended early due to a broken orbital bone, but that didn't stop him from getting a new contract for 2025-26. He'll likely remain in a third-pairing role, and while he can make decent physical contributions, he hasn't exceeded the 15-point mark since 2017-18, so his offense will be limited.

Signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Canucks in June of 2025.
Placed on injured reserve
Forbort (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The move is retroactive to Saturday's 3-1 loss to Edmonton, which is when Forbort was last in the lineup. The 33-year-old will miss Vancouver's next two games, but he is eligible to be activated ahead of Sunday's clash in Washington. Victor Mancini will likely remain in the lineup while Forbort is on the shelf, though there's no guarantee Forbort will play regularly when he is healthy.

Forbort was the Bruins' seventh defenseman for most of the 2023-24 season, managing to play in 35 regular-season games when starters like Charlie McAvoy, Matt Grzelcyk and Brandon Carlo were unable to play due to injury. The Bruins let Forbort walk at the end of the season and the 32-year-old blueliner inked a one-year deal with Vancouver. Forbort is expected to play on the third pairing this season with the Canucks and while he will help your fantasy squad in hits and blocked shots, his offensive output will make Forbort not worthy of a spot in your lineup, as his career-high in points is only 18.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Contract talks ongoing
Forbort, who underwent surgery for a broken bone in his eye, has started discussing a contract extension with Vancouver, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Forbort missed the final two games of the regular season due to his orbital bone injury. During his 54 regular-season appearances, the 33-year-old defenseman registered two goals, nine assists and 39 shots while averaging 17:06 of ice time. If Forbort does re-sign with the club, it figures to be on a low-cost, short-term deal -- likely in the 1-2 year range.
