The Washington Capitals have secured forward prospect Ryan Leonard with a three-year, entry-level contract valued at $950k per year. The eighth overall pick from the 2023 NHL Draft recently completed a standout sophomore year at Boston College, finishing as the leading scorer in the NCAA with 30 goals. Leonard, who is well-acquainted with the Capitals' setup, could make his NHL debut against the Boston Bruins soon and is seen as a crucial addition for the team's playoff aspirations.
You get that kinda element - young kid that's going to go out there and just give it his all and compete hard and have some skill and some ability to disrupt.
Leonard led the entire NCAA in goals (30) and game-winning goals (9), also leading Boston College in points (49), points-per-game (1.32), plus/minus (+30), and shots on goal (191).
