Boston College winger Ryan Leonard has decided to return to the NCAA for his sophomore season instead of joining the Washington Capitals for the playoffs. General manager Brian MacLellan announced this decision on Wednesday, stating that Leonard expressed a desire to continue developing at the college level before transitioning to the NHL.
Leonard, who was the eighth overall pick in last year’s draft, had an impressive season with 60 points in 41 games for the Eagles, helping them reach the Frozen Four. Despite speculation on social media suggesting he may change his mind and join the Capitals, Leonard chose to focus on his development in college.
The decision will allow him to continue playing alongside his linemates and chase a national championship. Cutter Gauthier, who also had a successful season in college hockey, recently signed with Anaheim and is expected to make his debut for the Ducks in their upcoming game.
It will be exciting to see how Leonard progresses in his sophomore year at Boston College and how his decision to prioritize development in the NCAA will shape his future in the NHL. The Capitals and their fans will be eagerly watching to see how Ryan Leonard continues to grow and build upon his successful freshman season.
