Wyatt Kaiser

22-Year-Old DefensemanD
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Last season, Kaiser logged 32 NHL games for the Blackhawks in which he generated seven assists, 18 shots on net and 22 hits while averaging 17:19 of ice time. With the team adding Alec Martinez and T.J. Brodie via free agency, the chances of Kaiser getting significant minutes on the NHL roster remain relatively slim. In dynasty formats, the 21-year-old Minnesota native could be worth stashing considering he recorded four goals and 14 assists in 37 games with AHL Rockford, but he's a long-term project at this point.

Reassigned to AHL

December 20, 2024
Kaiser was sent to AHL Rockford on Friday, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old defenseman had been a healthy scratch in the Blackhawks' last three games. Kaiser picked up an assist in his second game of the season but didn't have a point in his past 26 outings. Kaiser will get a chance to play more and regain his confidence offensively with the IceHogs.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After wrapping up his junior year at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, Kaiser signed his entry-level deal and joined the Blackhawks. He notched three assists with 14 shots on goal in nine NHL appearances. At the collegiate level, he tallied five goals and 23 points in 35 contests in 2022-23. Kaiser is expected to enter training camp in a bottom-four role, though Chicago's lack of strong left-handed blueliners presents an opportunity for him to carve out a larger role. With some additional playing time, the 21-year-old could be an interesting late-round dart throw in deeper fantasy formats.
