In a sign that general manager Bill Guerin might not be 100% certain the solution to his bottom-six line-up is in-house the Minnesota Wild signed an intriguing youngish forward to a professional try-out contract just weeks before training camp opens. On Friday, they announced that winger Brett Leason had signed a PTO and been invited to camp.
Leason, 26, was originally drafted by the Washington Capitals in the second round of the 2019 NHL draft. He made his debut with the Caps in the 2021-22 season, registering six points (three goals, three assists) in 36 games.
