2024 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Jujhar Khaira in 2024. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a one-year, minor-league contract with AHL Syracuse in September of 2024.
Dropped back to minors
CMinnesota Wild  Minors
October 30, 2023
Khaira was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Khaira made just one appearance for the Wild during this stint in the NHL, logging a mere 8:05 of ice time in which he recorded one shot on goal and one blocked shot. The 29-year-old winger has been significantly more productive in the minors where he has four assists in four games. With Minnesota off until Thursday's clash with New Jersey, Khaira could be brought back up ahead of that contest, though that doesn't guarantee he will play.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2014
Khaira produced 10 points, 136 hits and an unsightly minus-19 rating in 64 games last year. He didn't score a goal over the last 36 regular-season contests, a stretch in which he occasionally served as a healthy scratch. Head coach Dave Tippett will want Khaira in the lineup for his grit and physical play, but he isn't strong on offense or defense. His career high in points is 21, set in 2017-18, and he has a career minus-39 mark in 218 outings. Khaira is expected to compete with Gaetan Haas for the fourth-line center job, but it's unlikely Khaira will make enough of an impact in 2020-21 to interest fantasy managers.
The 2018-19 season saw Khaira appear in 60 contests, a year after playing 69 games as a rookie. In his sophomore season, Khaira scored three goals and finished with 18 points while averaging 12:34 per night. The 6-foot-4 winger certainly brings size to Edmonton's forward group, having racked up 251 hits combined over the past two seasons. But offensively, Khaira offers very little, and because of that, he won't be of much use in fantasy.
In his first season playing exclusively with the Oilers, Khaira went through his fair share of growing pains. He surpassed the 20-point milestone (11 goals, 10 assists) in 69 games, but closed out the 2017-18 season by scoring a single point in the final 12 contests. The young center delivered 128 hits but only collected 39 blocks. While it was encouraging to see Khaira set a career high for ice time (12:42), he'll need more experience to be trusted in 2018-19.
The big winger has yet to elbow out a consistent NHL role with the Oilers. Over the last two seasons, the 23-year-old has played 25 games while accumulating just one goal and two assists. This could be a breakthrough year for him, but his upside is a bottom six role.
Khaira had is first taste of professional hockey last season by playing six regular-season and three playoff games for AHL Oklahoma City after playing out his season in the WHL. He drained his first pro goal in the postseason and looks to add to that tally in Oklahoma City this year. He's a distance from the NHL, so don't bother monitoring him yet.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wild interested
CFree Agent
September 16, 2023
Khaira is expected to go to training camp with the Wild, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Khaira will likely get a professional tryout contract with the Wild. He had six goals and 14 points in 51 games with the Blackhawks last season. Khaira will battle for a spot on the fourth line and could also make the Wild as their 13th forward. Look for similar numbers as last season from Khaira, if he makes the Wild.
