A non-stop activator and occasional manufacturer of offence, Leslie clearly has point-producing potential. When the puck arrives on his stick, he hammers it past goaltenders, manipulates opponents to create shooting lanes, chains pass receptions with dekes and shots, and occasionally shows high-level playmaking ability. At the other end of the rink, Leslie's all-out pressure. He throws crushing hits and erases shots with sprinting closeouts. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
