Josephson missed some time in 2024-2025, only skating in 48 games compared to the 68 a year prior. His offense matured further, potting 14 goals and adding 21 assists for 35 points. He wore the C on his chest for the Red Deer Rebels, and we will likely see him take a swan song in the WHL before moving to the AHL to continue his march towards the bottom-six at the NHL level.

Josephson is showing signs of a developing offensive game in the WHL, growing his offensive output to 12 goals, 35 assists and 47 points in 68 games in 2023-24. He could have some relevance in leagues with peripherals, but as of present, doesn’t project to be a player to provide much offense to your fantasy squad.

Josephson was selected 105th overall by the Seattle Kraken.

– Ollie Josephson is a bet on a guy who does a lot of things right. He plays with pace and is a strong forechecker and in-zone defender, an effective transition player, a solid playmaker, and takes high-quality shots. Even if the production doesn’t come, its not unrealistic to expect Josephson to develop into an effective, high-energy bottom-six driver at higher levels. Luke Sweeney
