Svechnikov’s role alongside Stankoven and Ehlers could yield elevated scoring chances, especially if Carolina diversifies its top-six usage and strengthens the power play.

Svechnikov remains a core piece, with Ehlers and Jarvis potentially increasing his puck retrievals and scoring opportunities as Carolina diversifies its top-six threat.

Svechnikov supplied the assist on Kotkaniemi’s goal and contributed to the early-high-tempo attack, reinforcing his role as a core offender in Carolina’s star trio.

Svechnikov is a potential centerpiece in any Kaprizov package, with Carolina’s willingness to include him balancing the draw of Kaprizov’s elite production against the team’s cap reality and no-trade protections.

Svechnikov is positioned for a two‐way rebound, returning to a higher impact role in Carolina. With a healthier projected season and top‐six ice time, expect him to contribute across goals, assists, and defensive peripherals, strengthening both standard and multi‐category fantasy values.
