Brett Leason

Playing last year at age 24, Leason had a bit of a breakout campaign, producing 11 goals, 11 assists, 92 shots on net, 79 hits and 65 blocked shots in 68 contests. The quality of the Ducks' forwards last year allowed Leason to get steady playing time in a middle-six role, and he was able to display some defensive chops. Unfortunately for the winger, that likely means he'll receive less time in ideal situations as the team works to incorporate more prospects into the top six. Leason should again challenge for 20-25 points, but he doesn't stand out enough in most other fantasy categories to justify a late-round pick on draft day.

Leason inked a two-year, $1.55 million contract with Washington in the summer of 2022, but after failing to make the team out of training camp, he was placed on waivers and claimed by Anaheim. Although the forward was able to stick with the Ducks, Leason ended up bouncing in and out of the lineup and finished with six goals, nine points, 14 PIM, 51 shots, 35 hits and 18 blocks in 54 contests. The 24-year-old might still grow a bit offensively, but he's unlikely to be more than a fourth-line option with Anaheim.
