2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bryson has established himself in the NHL as a role player who fits into the sixth or seventh slot on a team’s blue line. He served in that capacity for Buffalo in 2024-25, recording seven assists, 10 PIM, 20 shots, 15 hits and 51 blocks across 48 outings. The 27-year-old’s (28 on Nov. 18) position doesn’t figure to be any better this season, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he finishes below the 10-point mark for the fourth straight campaign. He is an okay source of blocks when he is in the lineup, so he might offer some value there in the deepest of fantasy leagues. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $900,000 contract extension with the Sabres in March of 2025.
Quiet on offense
Bryson has gone six games without a point after failing to find the scoresheet in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
ANALYSIS
Bryson's playing time is picking up while Michael Kesselring (lower body) and Conor Timmins (leg) are on injured reserve. Since Bryson's two-point effort versus the Blackhawks on Nov. 21, he has picked up one helper in 14 appearances. He has a total of four points, nine shots on net, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and six PIM through 25 outings this season while seeing third-pairing usage when he plays.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Bryson is a depth defenseman that the Sabres can plug into the lineup when there's an injury or someone needs a game off, but the 26-year-old (27 on Nov. 18) isn't expected to get utilized beyond that. He recorded a goal, eight points, 40 blocked shots and 17 hits across 36 appearances with Buffalo in 2023-24 while averaging 14:41 of ice time. There's no guarantee that he'll feature in as many games in 2024-25, but if circumstances do push Buffalo to dress Bryson with regularity, then the blueliner will pick up a good number of blocks.
