31-Year-Old DefensemanD
Utah Mammoth
2025 Fantasy Outlook
DeSimone had no path to playing time with the Devils, but Utah provided an opportunity for him when claiming him off waivers in January. He went on to log six points in 20 appearances with Utah, a performance that ended up earning him a one-year contract. DeSimone provided valuable depth on defense when Utah needed it most, but the team is much deeper on the back end when everyone's healthy. He won't be anything more than a third-pairing blueliner, and he doesn't offer enough category coverage to draw attention from fantasy managers. Read Past Outlooks

Contributes assist Saturday

DeSimone registered an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
ANALYSIS
DeSimone ended a five-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old defenseman is likely headed for a reserve role once Mikhail Sergachev (lower body) returns, as the addition of MacKenzie Weegar has strengthened the right side of Utah's defense. DeSimone has six points, 32 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over a career-best 35 appearances this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2019
Nick DeSimone, who signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Devils this offseason, increasingly looks like a fringe roster player this upcoming year. The team added Brenden Dillon and Brett Pesce in free agency and will also benefit from the return of Dougie Hamilton from a long-term pectoral injury. As such, the 29-year-old DeSimone will likely spend the bulk of the 2024-25 season watching from the press box as a healthy scratch, and he could even be waived to be demoted to the AHL. Given his age and role with New Jersey, DeSimone probably isn't worth stashing in dynasty formats.
DeSimone is a waiver-exempt prospect looking to climb the prospect ladder in San Jose. The New York native easily led AHL San Jose in points among defensemen last season, with 14 goals and 32 assists comprising the total over 65 games. His fluid passing skills from the back end should ultimately benefit a Sharks team hoping to be a top-10 offense for a second straight year. Of course, DeSimone is operating under the terms of a standard two-way contract, so it's no guarantee that he'll crack the Opening Night roster, let alone stick with the parent club long enough to make an impact in fantasy hockey circles.
