2025-26 season: 78 GP, 14 G, 16 A, 30 PTS, +16 +/-, 13:55 TOI. WAR 1.2 (135th of 615) · PAL 90, elite.
In 2025-26, Connor Dewar, 27, posts a PAL Rating of 90 out of 100 (elite), and his WAR of 1.2 ranks 135th among 615 regulars, in the top quarter.
His strengths: penalty kill (100, among the best in the league), defense (94, among the best in the league) and discipline (89, among the best in the league). On the other hand, creation (16, well below average) and shooting (23, well below average) hold him back.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 96 (exceptional value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Connor Dewar's story
Growing up in The Pas and later Dauphin, Manitoba, Connor Dewar spent his early years skating on a backyard rink before moving to play bantam and midget AAA with the Parkland Rangers until age 15. Those formative seasons caught the attention of major-junior scouts: Everett selected him in the WHL bantam draft, and the Minnesota Wild picked him 92nd overall in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
Dewar signed a WHL standard player agreement on 1 September 2015 and joined the Everett Silvertips as a 16-year-old rookie. He scored the game-winning goal in his first appearance and went on to play all 72 regular-season games and nine playoff contests, finishing with 11 goals and seven assists; his availability and impact earned him the team’s Iron Man and Rookie of the Year distinctions.
Over the next seasons he moved into leadership roles, serving as alternate captain and then being named Everett’s captain before 2018–19. That season included a four-game suspension early on for a cross‑checking incident, but he still led the club with 73 points before an upper-body injury. He closed the year with 81 points, 29 power-play points and 309 shots, a total that ranks seventh in single-season history for the Silvertips, and was named to the WHL Western Conference First All-Star Team.
Minnesota signed him to a three-year entry-level contract on 5 March 2019 and assigned him to their AHL affiliate in Iowa. Dewar recorded his first professional goal and assist on 17 November in a 4–3 loss to the Chicago Wolves and finished his AHL rookie campaign with 19 points (6+13) in 52 games. He made his NHL debut on 28 October 2021 versus the Seattle Kraken, registered his first NHL point with an assist on 6 January 2022 against the Boston Bruins, and scored his first NHL goal on 24 January 2022 in an 8–2 win over Montreal.
On 8 March 2024 Minnesota traded him to Toronto for Dmitri Ovchinnikov and a 2026 fourth-round pick; he netted his first Maple Leafs goal on 28 March 2024 against Washington. After starting the 2024–25 season on injured reserve and returning in November, he had three assists in 31 games before being traded alongside Conor Timmins to the Pittsburgh Penguins on 7 March 2025 for a 2025 fifth-round pick. He scored his first goal for Pittsburgh on 13 March 2025 versus the St. Louis Blues. Dewar’s game is marked by dependable availability, contributions on the power play and a willingness to take on center responsibilities.
