2025 Fantasy Outlook
McBain is not a major factor on offense, having failed to reach the 30-point mark in each of his three full NHL campaigns. However, he is one of the top physical forwards in the league, as he recorded 291 hits and 78 PIM in addition to a career-best 27 points in 2024-25. The 25-year-old's playing style makes him a good fit for the Mammoth's bottom six, but that doesn't bode particularly well for his offense taking a step forward at this point in his career. Utah's hearty prospect pool also poses a threat to McBain's ice time in the near future, though it may not come to a head in 2025-26. He'll be viable in banger leagues, but most fantasy managers can leave McBain on the draft board this fall. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $21.25 million contract with the Mammoth in July of 2025.
Unavailable for Thursday
McBain (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Kings, per Catherine Bogart of Utah's official site.
ANALYSIS
McBain is considered day-to-day, so he might still be an option for Saturday's exhibition clash versus San Jose. McBain recorded 13 goals, 27 points, 78 PIM and 291 hits across 82 outings with Utah in 2024-25. Once healthy, McBain will likely occupy a bottom-six role.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
McBain recorded eight goals and 26 points in 67 contests with Arizona in 2023-24, making it his second consecutive 26-point campaign. While the 24-year-old isn't likely to develop into a significant scoring threat, he is noteworthy in physical categories, collecting 50 PIM and 204 hits last season. If he stays healthy this season, it would not be surprising to see him exceed the 250-hit mark while also recording 50-75 PIM. However, with Utah incorporating more prospects into its plans, there's no guarantee McBain will be an everyday player.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Contract talks ongoing
McBain and the Mammoth continue to work toward a new contract, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
McBain, a restricted free agent, has been tied to a number of teams as a potential trade piece. While Utah may still be listening to offers, it seems the club hasn't closed the door on securing him to a new deal. The 25-year-old center has reached the 25-point mark in each of the last three seasons and certainly could push for the 30-plus mark if he earned a more substantial power-play role.
