2024 Fantasy Outlook

There was no outlook written for Janne Niinimaa in 2024. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.

Weight 220

DOB 5/22/1975

DMontreal Canadiens Free Agent

April 11, 2007

Niinimaa will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

ANALYSIS
Niinimaa is a shell of the player that signed a three-year, $9.5 million contract with the Islanders in August of 2004. The Finn has gone from a top-4 defenseman to a sixth or seventh guy on any worthwhile team's defensive depth chart.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2006

2005

A lot of his poor play last season in Dallas can be attributed to a balky ankle that was fixed this offseason. There's some upside here for the former power play specialist as Francois Bouillon won't be ready until early December at the earliest while Sheldon Souray could be moved at some point between now and March.

Was not able to generate points on the island as well as he did in years with Philly and Edmonton. Scored 28 points for the Isles in 2003-04, but definitely has the skill for more. Hopefully the game changes in the NHL will boost his production.
