Minnesota released Leason from his professional tryout agreement Tuesday.
Leason registered five goals, 17 points, 79 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 64 hits through 62 regular-season appearances with Anaheim in 2024-25. With the NHL regular season just around the corner, he will need to find another place to play quickly.

Wild's Brett Leason: Inks PTO
Leason signed a professional tryout agreement with the Wild on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Leason spent last season with the Ducks, tallying five goals, 12 assists, 79 shots on goal and 64 hits across 62 regular-season games. The 26-year-old will look to secure a spot as a bottom-six forward with Minnesota in training camp.

Ducks' Brett Leason: No qualifying offer
Anaheim didn't tender a qualifying offer to Leason on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Leason generated five goals, 17 points, 79 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 64 hits across 62 appearances with the Ducks during the 2024-25 regular season. If Anaheim doesn't circle back to him, he will look to land a bottom-six role with a different team in free agency.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Notches helper Thursday
Leason provided an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Leason is the latest forward to get a look on the third line after injuries have sidelined Sam Colangelo (upper body) and Nikita Nesterenko (undisclosed). The 25-year-old Leason continues to be a versatile winger for the Ducks, though they have primarily kept him in the bottom six this year. He has two assists over nine outings in March, and he's up to 17 points, 77 shots on net, 60 hits, 43 blocks and an even plus-minus rating through 58 appearances overall.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Ends drought with assist
Leason notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
Leason had gone 10 games without a point entering Wednesday, though it's encouraging he stayed in the lineup during the slump. The 25-year-old is limited to a bottom-six role, giving him minimal fantasy appeal, especially when he's cold on offense. For the season, Leason has 16 points, 74 shots on net, 56 hits, 33 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 52 appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Picks up helper
Leason notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Kraken.
Leason has earned three helpers over the last two games after going eight appearances without a point. The 25-year-old winger helped out on Jackson LaCombe's tally in the second period. Leason continues to be a regular in the bottom six, earning 15 points, 60 shots on net, 46 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 41 outings this season.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Distributes two assists
Leason provided a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Leason snapped an eight-game point drought with this performance. He was also scratched for a couple of contests earlier in January and has mainly played on the fourth line with his offense faltering compared to earlier in the season. The Ducks are also as healthy as they'll be for the rest of the campaign at forward, so there isn't much of an opportunity for Leason to move up. The 25-year-old has five goals, nine assists, 57 shots on net, 45 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 40 appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Breakaway goal in loss
Leason scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.
Leason got a step on an Edmonton defender and converted on a breakaway in the second period to get the Ducks on the board. The goal snapped a five-game slump for Leason, who has tallied twice and added nine shots on net over seven outings since he was scratched for a pair of games Dec. 18 and 20. The 25-year-old winger has mainly filled a middle-six role this season, accumulating five goals, seven helpers, 48 shots on net, 36 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 31 appearances. Leason's mix of offense and slight physicality could help in deep fantasy formats.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Ties game on power play
Leason scored a power-play goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah.
Leason had been a healthy scratch for the prior two contests. He returned to action in a fourth-line role and snapped an eight-game goal drought with the game-tying tally in the third period. Leason has four goals, 11 points, 41 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-2 rating through 25 appearances. He's averaged 51 seconds per game on the power play this year, but he was out of the mix for time in that situation just before his time in the press box. Without a more prominent spot in the lineup, he lacks upside in most fantasy formats.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Produces assist Friday
Leason managed an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
Leason helped out on a Brock McGinn tally in the third period. Over the prior six games, Leason had been limited to one goal. The 25-year-old winger has held onto a middle-six role for much of the season, and that's come with power-play time since mid-November. He has a total of 10 points, 29 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 20 appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Tallies in Wednesday's win
Leason scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
Leason has three goals and five assists over his last eight games. He hasn't been scratched since Nov. 8, and it appears he's secured a middle-six spot in the lineup. The 25-year-old winger is up to three goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-4 rating through 16 appearances. That's enough offense and physical play to be an option in deep fantasy formats.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Adds assist Tuesday
Leason recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Leason has collected two goals and five assists over his last five contests. Prior to that, he had been a healthy scratch in five of six games, but it's clear he doesn't want to go back to the press box any time soon. The 25-year-old is at eight points, 14 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating over 13 appearances this season. Leason probably won't sustain his recent pace -- he typically fills a bottom-six role with fewer chances to produce offense.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Shines in win over Dallas
Leason posted one goal and two assists, including one in the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.
Leason was the undisputed star in Monday's huge win for the Ducks, as he got involved in three of the team's four goals. He doubled Anaheim's lead to two goals with a snap shot less than six minutes into the first period, and then provided setups in the goals scored by Cutter Gauthier and Jackson LaCombe. The three points in a single game were a season-best mark for the 25-year-old winger, who's trending in the right direction following a slow start to the campaign. He has two goals and four assists in his last four appearances.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Provides pair of helpers
Leason logged two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Leason has three points over his last two games while filling in for Mason McTavish (upper body). The 25-year-old Leason was on the third line Wednesday and saw a season-high 15:02 of ice time. He has four points, 10 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating over 10 appearances. He'll likely continue to fill a bottom-six role and offers little scoring upside -- fantasy managers can find better depth options on the waiver wire.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Breaks slump with goal
Leason scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Leason has struggled this season -- he earned an assist Opening Night versus the Sharks and then went scoreless over seven outings. Lately, that lack of offense has cost him his spot in the lineup, but he checked back in Sunday due to Mason McTavish (upper body tightness) being unavailable. Leason has two points, nine shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating through nine outings. When the Ducks are healthy up front, he's likely to compete with Ross Johnston for the last spot in the lineup.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Nabs assist in win
Leason provided an assist and two hits in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Leason begins 2024-25 in a fourth-line role that saw him rack up 11 goals, 11 assists, 91 shots on net and 79 hits over 68 appearances in 2023-24. He's off to a positive start after helping out on an Isac Lundestrom tally in the third period. Leason has a bit of sneaky offense and can kill penalties, but given his limited role in a weak offense, he's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy.

Ducks' Brett Leason: Back in SoCal
Leason signed a one-year, $1.05 million deal with Anaheim on Monday.
Leason pocketed 11 goals and 22 points through 68 games with the Ducks last season. The 25-year-old winger should see bottom-six minutes again during the 2024-25 campaign.

Brett Leason: Not qualified by Ducks
Leason will become an unrestricted free agent after not receiving a qualifying offer from Anaheim, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
Leason tallied 11 goals and 22 points in 68 games last season. The 25-year-old could provide a bit of scoring touch to a team's bottom six this offseason.
