Rafael Harvey-Pinard

Harvey-Pinard underwent surgery in July to repair a broken leg. His recovery timeline of four months will shelf him for the entirety of training camp and at least the first month of the 2024-25 campaign. In 45 appearances last season, he earned two goals, 10 points, 47 blocked shots and 47 hits. Harvey-Pinard showcased much more potential in 2022-23 when he notched 14 tallies and 20 points in 34 outings, but his 24.1 shooting percentage was unsustainable. However, he didn't give himself much chance to replicate his success by dropping his shots per game from 1.71 to 0.58. Once the 25-year-old forward is ready to return from his leg injury, he could play up and down the lineup again. Harvey-Pinard could be worthy of a waiver pickup during stretches when he heats up offensively.
