A couple of familiar names have been put on the wire to start the week. On Monday, Tampa Bay Lightning forward Mitchell Chaffee and Washington Capitals forward Brett Leason were both put on waivers, making them available to the other 31 teams in the NHL.
On Monday, Washington Capitals general manager Chris Patrick announced that the team has signed forward Brett Leason to a one-year, two-way contract for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The Minnesota Wild are bringing in forward Brett Leason on a professional tryout (PTO) ahead of training camp, according to The Athletic’s Michael Russo.
Brett Leason notched a goal and two assists while leading the Anaheim Ducks to a 4-2 win against the host Dallas Stars on Monday evening. Leason has two goals and four assists in four games since returning to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for three straight games and five out of six.
The Anaheim Ducks are bringing back two familiar names, signing forward Brett Leason to a one-year, $1.05 million deal, and defenseman Urho Vaakanainen to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.
Brett Leason scored two goals, including the first of four in the game's opening 12 1/2 minutes, and the Anaheim Ducks earned a 5-2 victory Wednesday over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights, who are on a season-long four-game losing streak.
