Best UFA Wild Card Fantasy Player Picks for 2024-25 - Western Conference

If you're looking for some sleeper picks for next season, I've got some way too early predictions

The 2024-25 season isn’t quite around the corner and the rosters aren’t completely set, but it’s never too early to talk fantasy selections. The fun of doing so now is trying to get an early read on what might happen based on some of the moves that were made in free agency.

As such our picks are going to focus on the players who were signed this summer and pick the best of the bunch for your fantasy team. This article will focus on the Western Conference.

Anaheim Ducks

The Ducks didn’t do much in free agency. They signed a total of seven players. They added Jansen Harkins and Jackson LaCombe to two-year contracts, while Brett Leason, Urho Vaakanainen, Nathan Smith, Pavol Regenda, and Nikita Nesterenko each inked one-year deals with the team.

There is no real standout in the group. Honestly, stay away from this team in fantasy. They aren’t going to do much for you.

Calgary Flames

The Calgary Flames secured a handful of free agents but no one was considerably notable. Anthony Mantha and Jake Bean were considered the bigger additions. Ryan Lomberg, Devin Cooley, and Dustin Wolf agreed to two-year deals.

Mantha had 23 goals and 44 points split between the Washington Capitals and Vegas Golden Knights. He might score in a consistent top-six role. Dustin Wolf is going to get a lot of playing time.
