2025 Fantasy Outlook
Melanson's steady offense in junior hasn't translated to the professional ranks, which has limited his potential. He's earned just 31 points in 104 regular-season games with AHL Coachella Valley, as well as nine points in 24 playoff outings for the minor-league club. At the NHL level, Melanson has made just one appearance, logging four hits in 9:53 of ice time in his debut for the Kraken last March. The 2021 fifth-rounder brings plenty of physicality in his play, but he doesn't look like he'll ever develop into a significant scoring threat, so his ceiling would likely be on the third line.

Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kraken in July of 2022.
Scores equalizer Monday
Melanson scored a goal and added five hits in Monday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
ANALYSIS
Melanson is on a four-game point streak after potting his first NHL goal to tie Monday's contest at 1-1 early in the second period. The 22-year-old has displayed immediate chemistry with Ryan Winterton and Ben Meyers, giving the Kraken an effective fourth line. Melanson could still be at risk of a demotion once Jaden Schwartz (lower body) is healthy enough to play. Melanson has four points, nine shots on net, 47 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 11 appearances this season.
