2025 Fantasy Outlook
Melanson's steady offense in junior hasn't translated to the professional ranks, which has limited his potential. He's earned just 31 points in 104 regular-season games with AHL Coachella Valley, as well as nine points in 24 playoff outings for the minor-league club. At the NHL level, Melanson has made just one appearance, logging four hits in 9:53 of ice time in his debut for the Kraken last March. The 2021 fifth-rounder brings plenty of physicality in his play, but he doesn't look like he'll ever develop into a significant scoring threat, so his ceiling would likely be on the third line.

Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kraken in July of 2022.
Gets goal early in loss
Melanson scored a goal and added four hits in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Senators.
ANALYSIS
Melanson has been with the Kraken since Jan. 22, but he had been held off the scoresheet over his first 11 games in this stint on the NHL roster, as well as the last four contests in his previous stint. The 22-year-old forward is up to two goals, five points, 149 hits, 24 shots on net and 23 PIM through 27 appearances this season. He played well enough to make Tye Kartye expendable, which the Rangers capitalized on with a waiver claim. Melanson will likely get fourth-line minutes to close out the campaign, though he could be a healthy scratch occasionally.
