Tim Stützle: 2023-24 Fantasy Hockey Ride Or Die
I am the master of fantasy hockey until further notice. Did you see how I beat the brakes off Sean Allen last year? It’s a little too early to nitpick on rankings still. We’ll see how that stuff shakes out as the season gets closer. I’m just going to share one secret with everyone and I hope you listen. I want Tim Stützle in every league. He is my ride or die for the 2023-24 fantasy hockey season.
I’m not sure who needs to hear this but Stützle is becoming a super-duper star. Stützle, 21, notched 90 points in 78 games a season ago. I’m just going to let everyone know right now that number is going over 100 this year. Mostly because it just too much sense not too. If you were starting a team from scratch right now, I’m not sure how many guys you’re taking over the German forward. He’s that good.
The 3rd overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft has proven he’s the cream of the crop of that class. Alexis Lafrenière and Quinton Byfield aren’t close to what Stützle has become. In fact, Stützle had 29 more points than both of them combined a season ago.
We’re just scratching the surface of what this guy is going to become and the team is becoming really, really good. Brady Tkachuk is the perfect power forward to pair with him. The powerplay is going to be lethal. Vladimir Tarasenko is a new addition to pocket goals that weren’t there a season ago. This is also the best iteration of the blue line that’s been in place since Stützle has been on the team.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but Ottawa is making the playoffs. If they don’t, DJ Smith should resign out of embarrassment. This team has all the pieces to take a Devils-style leap this year. Ottawa posted 86 points last year and basically didn’t have Josh Norris all year. They have since added Jakub Chycrun and it’s another season where all the young guns like Shane Pinto and Jake Sanderson take a step forward.
Stützle was 19th in player point totals last year at the age of 21. Only Jack Hughes was ahead of him on that list for players 22 and younger. During that season, Stützle posted a CF% of 55.18 and I don’t think he’s done getting better, or shouldn’t be.
Stützle is a top 10 play in fantasy hockey this year. Take it to the bank.
