28-Year-Old DefensemanD
Carolina Hurricanes
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Chatfield posted personal bests in goals (eight), assists (14), points (22), blocked shots (66) and average ice time (15:12) during the 2023-24 campaign. Rather than test the market as an unrestricted free agent, he agreed to a three-year, $9 million contract extension with the Hurricanes in June. Chatfield has developed into a solid depth defender for the organization over the past two seasons. He will probably be back with Dmitry Orlov after they were used regularly together in 2023-24. The 28-year-old Chatfield could be a 25-point performer in the upcoming campaign, but he won't offer much help for fantasy managers in other categories. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Hurricanes in June of 2024.
Lights lamp in Game 1

April 21, 2025
Chatfield scored a goal, had two PIM and recorded a blocked shot in Sunday's 4-1 win over New Jersey in Game 1.
ANALYSIS
Chatfield's goal set the tempo for the rest of the contest by finding the back of the net just under two and a half minutes into Game 1. He then picked up a cross-checking penalty on New Jersey's Nico Hischier just minutes later. Even though Chatfield tallied just seven goals in the regular season, he's had the hot hand as of late with two goals in his last three contests. Chatfield will likely cool off offensively throughout the playoffs and return to his primary role as a strong defenseman with a good plus-minus rating. However, his ability to perform offensively in big moments is an encouraging sign for the Hurricanes moving forward.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2020
Chatfield was primarily an AHL guy over the course of his first five professional seasons, but he seized a full-time role for Carolina last year, appearing in 78 games and finishing with a six goals and 14 points. He also played in all 15 playoff games for the club. It was a nice run for the player, but with the signings of Dmitry Orlov, Tony DeAngelo and Caleb Jones this offseason, Chatfield will need to compete to maintain his place on one of the strongest blue lines in the league.
Chatfield shuttled between the Canucks and AHL Utica frequently last year, often serving as an emergency option on the blue line. He has yet to make his NHL debut, and it's not looking all that likely in 2020-21, either. While Tyler Myers and Jordie Benn aren't exciting options on defense, they're vastly more experienced than Chatfield. The Canucks also have Travis Hamonic in training camp on a tryout, and he'll likely have an actual contract before the season starts. With that in mind, Chatfield will likely be organizational depth again this year, with no guarantee of getting NHL playing time on the horizon.
