Britta Curl-Salemme Is the Most Important Fantasy Add of the PWHL Offseason, sh’e Hockeytown’s first star!
Britta Curl-Salemme just finished third in the entire PWHL in scoring with 11 goals, 18 assists, 29 points in 30 games — as the third offensive option on Minnesota’s roster. She did that playing behind Kelly Pannek and Taylor Heise, on a team so loaded that even her elite production felt secondary to the names above her on the depth chart.
She just signed with the Detroit expansion team. She is now their No. 1 forward. Add her immediately.
The Production Is Real
Across two seasons with the Minnesota Frost, Curl-Salemme posted 20 goals and 24 assists in 58 games — almost a point per game from a player who was never the primary option on her line. She is fast, physical, and a legitimate dual threat as both a goal scorer and a playmaker. She won Olympic gold with Team USA at the 2026 Games and is a member of the PWHL’s Triple Gold Club. The pedigree and the production are both elite.
The Role Change Is Everything
This is where the fantasy value gets genuinely exciting. In Minnesota, Curl-Salemme was a first-round fantasy pick in a supporting role. In Detroit, she is a first-round pick as the unquestioned top forward, the power-play quarterback, and the player the entire offensive system is built around. That shift in usage alone should push her point totals upward. A player who posts 29 points as the third option rarely produces less as the first.
The one legitimate fantasy concern is her suspension history — she has been disciplined four times across two PWHL seasons, and those missed games matter in tight formats. Factor in two to three games of absence as a conservative hedge. It does not erase the value. It just requires eyes-open roster management.
Third in the PWHL in scoring as the third option on her team. Now the first option on a new one. The math here is not complicated. Get her on your roster before someone else does.
