Carter Stevens

September 2026. Carter Stevens is a physical, goal-oriented right winger the St. Louis Blues selected 150th overall out of the Guelph Storm. He took a real step in his sophomore Ontario Hockey League season, setting a career high with 20 goals on his way to 36 points in 53 games, then adding a goal in four playoff outings. The appeal is a power-forward profile: he plays with a hard edge, drives to the net, and finishes around the crease, and he backs it with a shot that produced at a 20-goal clip on a good team. The projection depends on whether the scoring keeps climbing and the details of his two-way game round out against stiffer competition. He returns to Guelph for 2026-27, where the club hosts the Memorial Cup, a strong platform for both development and exposure. For fantasy he is a middle-round swing on a physical scorer whose value hinges on another offensive jump, so treat him as a dynasty stash to watch, with a 30-goal-caliber season in Guelph the signal that would move him toward an add. Andrew Epps
