You hear the phrase “late bloomer” tossed around for players who took a few years to really put things together, but it’s rare that a player can be considered a late bloomer for the National Hockey League draft itself. After being passed over the first two years he was eligible, Brett Leason is looking to be noticed as said late bloomer at the 2019 NHL Draft, and may just become a first round pick because of it.
Scouting report
He’s big and he’s local, as Calgary born-and-raised Leason measures up at 6’4″ and just over 200 pounds.
