2024 Fantasy Outlook
An initial glance at Cotter's numbers last year would indicate a player on the rise, as he set new career highs with 18 assists, 25 points and four power-play points. However, a deeper look at the versatile forward's end of the 2023-24 campaign paints a different picture. The 24-year-old Michigan native ended the regular season mired in a 17-game goal drought during which he generated a mere 15 shots on net. Additionally, Cotter found himself as the odd man out of the lineup in the playoffs, serving as a healthy scratch for all seven of the Golden Knights' postseason clashes with Dallas. An offseason trade saw him shipped off to New Jersey, where he is likely to fill a limited bottom-six role, providing hits and depth scoring but little else. Read Past Outlooks

Stanley Cup Playoffs: NHL Playoff Pool Cheat Sheet
152 days ago
With the Stanley Cup Playoffs set to get underway, Kyle Riley lays out his NHL player rankings for fantasy hockey playoff pools featuring his breakdowns and tiers for each position.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Cotter broke through to earn a regular NHL role in 2022-23, racking up 13 goals, five assists, 168 hits, 76 shots on goal and a minus-5 rating in 55 contests. He bounced around the lineup when the Golden Knights battled injuries, but he ultimately settled in as a bottom-six option. The 23-year-old is a fourth-round pick from 2018, and his physicality will get him on the fantasy radar in leagues that reward hits. Cotter's goal-scoring is likely to drop off in 2023-24 after he shot an unsustainable 17.1 percent, but there could be enough growth in the rest of his game to push him over the 20-point mark if he can stay in the lineup regularly.
