Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
Leonard should be the kind of player who will score, add physicality to a line and slide up and down a top nine in an NHL lineup while endearing himself to his coaches — and occasionally infuriating them. He scored 30 goals in back-to-back college seasons, which is a very impressive feat. Leonard is a driver who has looked like a No. 8 pick between BC and two strong showings at the World Juniors (winning a pair of gold medals, including one as captain and tournament MVP) since the draft. His play selection isn’t always great, and he can take too many unnecessary penalties when his intensity boils over, but he can also be a shift-to-shift force. I think the NHL will be a little more of a learning curve for him than he maybe expects it to be, but he should become a unique player in the prime of his career.
