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.

Doubles goal count with hat trick
Melson scored three goals on five shots in AHL Coachella Valley's 5-2 win over Abbotsford on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The hat trick doubled Melanson's goal total on the year. He's at six tallies, 10 points, 37 shots on net, 22 PM and a plus-4 rating through 14 appearances. The 22-year-old had just 13 points over 42 regular-season contests in 2024-25, so he's well on his way to taking a step up on offense, though he's unlikely to be elite in that area. Melanson also made his NHL debut for the Kraken last year, and his style of play could be a good fit in a bottom-six role within a couple of years.
