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.
In concussion protocol
Bryson was put in the concussion protocol Saturday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.
ANALYSIS
Bryson suffered the injury when he fell awkwardly into the boards during Buffalo's 3-0 victory over Florida on Saturday. The 27-year-old defenseman's placement in the concussion protocol suggests he'll probably miss at least some time. Zach Metsa is likely to draw into the lineup while Bryson is absent.

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.
