2024 Fantasy Outlook
Benoit ranked eighth in hits last season with 246 despite playing in just 64 regular-season games. He might not be a meaningful factor on offense -- his goal and five points last season was about as much as you should expect from him in 2024-25 -- but if what you're after is hits, then there aren't many who can do more for you than Benoit. He should also exceed the 50-PIM and 100-block marks for the third straight campaign. Read Past Outlooks

No points in January

January 30, 2025
Benoit was held off the scoresheet in all 11 of his appearances in January.
ANALYSIS
Benoit's overall point drought is up to 12 games. He was also scratched twice in the middle of the month, but the Maple Leafs seem to value his physicality even if it comes with a complete lack of offense. For the season, the 26-year-old blueliner is at four assists, 31 shots on net, 28 PIM, 125 hits and 65 blocked shots over 47 appearances. Benoit has the upper hand on Philippe Myers and Conor Timmins to stay in a third-pairing role.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Benoit started the 2022-23 campaign serving as a healthy scratch in four of Anaheim's first 12 contests and averaging just 15:13 of ice time during that span when he did play. His role rapidly grew after that though, and he ended the season as one of the Ducks' top-four defensemen. Benoit finished last year with three goals, 10 points, 60 PIM, 82 shots, 216 hits and 128 blocks in 78 outings while averaging 19:21 of ice time. The 24-year-old has never been a major offensive threat, even during his tenure in the QMJHL and the AHL, so he shouldn't be expected to make significant strides in that regard. Still, for fantasy managers in deeper leagues that reward PIM, hits and blocks, Benoit should have use cases as a member of the Maple Leafs in 2023-24.
