2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taking a cautious approach wasn't enough to keep Carlsson healthy in 2023-24, but the Ducks still got a good glimpse of what the No. 2 pick from 2023 can do. He put up 29 points, including nine on the power play, in 55 contests despite missing time due to a knee injury and a concussion. The sky's the limit for the playmaking Swede, but on a roster that's still a bit green like Anaheim's, it may take him a couple more years to make the leap to superstardom. One thing's clear -- the training wheels are off heading into 2024-25. Carlsson could push for 20 goals and 50 points while averaging around two shots per game and seeing plenty of power-play usage. Upside alone makes him a worthy mid-to-late-round pick in most fantasy formats. Read Past Outlooks

November 19, 2024
Carlsson scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
ANALYSIS
Carlsson's tally came at 9:38 of the third period. He's scored six times this season, and four of them have been game-winners. He's tied for the second in the league in the category, even with Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl and one behind Minnesota's Matt Boldy. Carlsson has four points over his last five contests, giving him 10 points, 28 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 18 outings overall in a top-line role.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Carlsson was selected second overall in this summer's draft, a move viewed as mildly surprising with Adam Fantilli still on the board. Given the top-end talent in the class of 2023, it's likely the Ducks still got a very good player in Carlsson, who promptly signed his entry-level deal in mid-July. The Swede posted 25 points in 44 games for Orebro in the SHL last year -- a notable feat for a teenager playing against men. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues will want to wait and see -- the Ducks are still projected to be bad in 2023-24, and Carlsson's production could suffer because of it. Those in dynasty and keeper formats will want to add him to their rookie squads ASAP, as he should be able to help within a couple of years even if he doesn't begin 2023-24 in the NHL.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Increasing workload
CAnaheim Ducks
December 20, 2023
The Ducks are planning on using Carlsson more frequently as the campaign progresses, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN.ca.
ANALYSIS
In an effort to ease Carlsson into the NHL, Anaheim initially limited Carlsson to two games a week, but the Ducks are now expected to use him up to three times a week. GM Pat Verbeek believes that Carlsson will then be able to play without limitation starting in mid-January. The 18-year-old forward has eight goals and 15 points in 22 outings this season.
