2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kastelic is a big, physical forward who racked up hits (218) and penalty minutes (106) despite just playing in 61 games with Boston in 2024-25. The 26-year-old set a career high with 14 points last season while averaging 10:44 of ice time. While his offensive ceiling likely isn't much higher than that, the four-year veteran will continue to be a heavy hitter as long as he stays healthy, which creates use cases for him in leagues that value hits and/or PIM.

Signed a three-year, $4.71 million contract extension with the Bruins in January of 2025.
Season officially over
Kastelic (upper body), as expected, won't return during the 2024-25 campaign, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Considering Kastelic was previously deemed out indefinitely, the news that he won't return this year shouldn't come as a surprise. Prior to his absence, the 26-year-old center had managed just one point across his last 17 outings. With his season over, Kastelic will end the year with five goals and nine helpers in 61 games. Kastelic signed a three-year contract extension with the Bruins in January, so he'll attempt to build upon his results during the 2025-26 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Kastelic closed his final season in Ottawa with five goals and 10 points in 63 games, nearly identical offensive numbers from the year prior. He also posted 100-plus hits (126) for a second straight campaign. He ended up being dealt to the Bruins in late June in the deal which sent Linus Ullmark to Ottawa. Set to play for a much more competitive team in Boston, Kastelic wouldn't appear to be a lock for a spot in the Opening Night lineup, so there's little chance he'll have any fantasy value this season.
