June 26, 2026
Zellweger was traded to Buffalo from Anaheim on Friday in exchange for Anton Wahlberg and the No. 45 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
ANALYSIS
Zellweger had seven goals, 22 points, 34 PIM, 37 hits and 85 blocks in 76 regular-season appearances with Anaheim in 2025-26. He's set to become a restricted free agent Wednesday, so the Sabres will need to work out a contract with him. Zellweger will probably start next season as part of the Sabres' third pairing, but the 22-year-old has the potential to develop into a top-four blueliner.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
It was a little discouraging that Zellweger couldn't claim a full-time role for the Ducks in 2024-25. He sat 20 games as a healthy scratch, including 16 after the start of January. It wasn't all performance-related, as the Ducks have several young blueliners and wanted to have all of them alternate between playing and watching from the press box. Zellweger had 20 points, 130 shots on net and 72 blocked shots over 62 regular-season appearances, and he still saw some power-play time when in the lineup. There aren't a ton of prospects chomping at the bit to push Zellweger out yet, but he needs to be an everyday option in 2025-26. He has some scoring upside, so he's worth a late-round pick in deep formats to fill out a fantasy roster's defense.
Zellweger appeared in 26 games during his rookie season in Anaheim, posting two goals and nine points. He did see a significant role with the man advantage, averaging 1:45 worth of power-play ice time. Set to play the entirety of this upcoming season at age 21, Zellweger, a second-round pick of the Ducks in 2021, has put up massive offensive totals throughout his junior and brief minor-league career. With Anaheim still deep in a rebuild, the club would be wise to give PP minutes to Zellweger as opposed to an aging veteran in Cam Fowler. Zellweger's role is a situation to monitor in training camp.
