2023 Fantasy Outlook

There was no outlook written for Gavin McCarthy in 2023. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.

June 29, 2023

McCarthy was selected 86th overall by the Sabres in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft on Thursday.

ANALYSIS
The younger brother of New Jersey's 2019 fourth-rounder, Case McCarthy, Gavin projects as a stay-at-home defender with just enough offensive ability to get by. McCarthy's speed is underrated. He's by no means a blazer, but he moves well enough to carry the mail when necessary. His decision-making can be a bit shaky at times, but McCarthy has enough size (6-foot-2, 185 pounds) and competes well enough for folks to believe he has a chance at becoming a future NHL regular, albeit almost certainly in a bottom-pairing role. He is off to Boston University to join Case, where the latter will serve as the captain of the Terriers this coming season.
