Dallas Stars fantasy projections for 2023-24

As part of NHL.com's 32 in 32 series, the fantasy hockey staff has projections for relevant players on the Dallas Stars. Players are listed in order of fantasy rank for this season.

Jason Robertson, LW

NHL.com fantasy rank: 7

Reason for optimism: Robertson took another step forward last season, finishing tied for sixth in the NHL with 109 points (46 goals, 63 assists). The 24-year-old is one of the five best keeper league players to target and top 10 in standard leagues.

NHL.com point projection: 110

Roope Hintz, C

NHL.com fantasy rank: 25

Reason for optimism: Hintz continues to develop into an elite center and was better than a point-per-game player last season (NHL career-high 75 points in 73 games) playing on the top line with Robertson and veteran Joe Pavelski. He then gained fantasy value from the Stanley Cup Playoffs when he was tied for third with 24 points (10 goals, 14 assists) in 19 games.

NHL.com point projection: 95

Jake Oettinger, G

NHL.com fantasy rank: 28

Reason for optimism: Oettinger had a full-fledged breakout last season, finishing with 37 wins (tied for third) and a .919 save percentage (tied for fourth). His 67 wins the past two seasons rank fourth and he should be considered the most valuable fantasy goalie in keeper and dynasty leagues.

NHL.com win projection: 39

Joe Pavelski, C/RW

NHL.com fantasy rank: 57

Reason for optimism: Pavelski was near a point per game (77 points in 82 games) last season and hasn't missed a regular-season game the past two seasons. The 39-year-old remains a fixture on the top line and first power play and had 14 points (nine goals, five assists), including four-goal game against the Seattle Kraken on May 2, during the Stars' run to the Western Conference Final.

NHL.com point projection: 80

Miro Heiskanen, D

NHL.com fantasy rank: 60

Reason for optimism: Heiskanen finished last season tied for fifth among NHL defensemen in points (73) and tied with Quinn Hughes of the Vancouver Canucks for most power-play points (34) at the position. He should be considered a top 10 fantasy defenseman in standard leagues and is worth prioritizing even earlier in keeper and dynasty leagues drafts.

NHL.com point projection: 75

Other DAL players to consider in fantasy: Jamie Benn, C/LW; Matt Duchene, RW; Wyatt Johnston, C; Tyler Seguin, C/LW; Logan Stankoven, C
