He's been a pro for 3 years. Drafted at age 20 in 2019. Skating was an issue for him coming out. Guess, he never improved enough in that area. Big body, but in today's NHL you have to be fast enough to get in on the forecheck to use that size, otherwise, you're going to be a liability.whats the report on leason? seems like a big guy. recent 2nd rounder
Sounds like he doesn't do an awful lot, perfect for an Eakins 4th line player.Leason is ok for depth as a 4th line big man but his skating still leaves a lot to be desired and his defensive play is nothing home to write about either.

Brett Leason didnt really hit that much but then again when a player is getting under 9 minutes a night there really is not much time to hit.Does he play with an edge? Hit?

Leason played in 36 games last season with the Caps and had 3G-3A-6Pts and 16 hits.
At 6’5” 225lbs he’s decent at protecting the puck but the problem for Leason is getting possession of the puck in the first place.
Who's the play maker on that line lol, definitely not Comtois or Lundestrom. From the reviews it sounds like Leason ain't one either.Sounds like someone who could really use some time in the AHL. Oh well...
In Anaheim, he has to compete with Silfverberg and Regenda. Silfvy has awfully fallen off the cliff because of the injuries, but I'd be surprised if our coaching staff scratched him anytime soon, and Regenda is a nice surprise European FA signing for us that already has created some nice chemistry on our 4th line.
So the best bet I guess could be for him to come in for Silfverberg, although will not come easy. So will see, but personally, I'd be very intrigued to try him with Comtois and Lundestrom. Commer is throwing his body around a lot, Lundy can skate like a freak – they could provide some nice energy and frustrate the opposition. But that's just in my imagination, will see what happens.

Oh I agree with you silf looks mediocreSilfverberg is not one either How bad could it get?
In this formation I think (assume) they would do a little bit of ''hard to play against'', not to drive the offense. They could at least keep the puck in the O zone a bit and hope Comtois and/or Leason shot does the magic.
Silfverberg looked like he needs to be carried on that line, albeit preseason is not the time when veterans usually put their best foot forward, so will see. But def interested in how the Leason situation plays off.
+ Carrick is back on 4th line RW in November hopefully.Sounds like someone who could really use some time in the AHL. Oh well...
