2024 Fantasy Outlook
Veleno saw upticks across the board with 28 points (five on the power play) in 80 contests for the Red Wings last season. However, he also threw the body around less with 108 hits, compared to 152 the year before. Veleno is still yet to see much more than third-line usage, and while he gets some power-play time, there's no obvious path to him serving in a top-six role. As such, any further gains on offense for the 24-year-old center are likely to be minimal. He has his place in some deeper fantasy formats, but the majority of managers don't need to consider Veleno on draft day. Read Past Outlooks

Veleno signed a two-year, $4.55 million contract with the Red Wings on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
ANALYSIS
Veleno was a restricted free agent coming off a one-year, $825,000 contract. He had 12 goals and 28 points in 80 contests last season. The 24-year-old is likely to start the 2024-25 campaign in a bottom-six role, but he does have some upside.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Veleno emerged as a regular for the Red Wings a season ago, appearing in 81 of 82 regular-season games and posting nine goals and 20 points. He added four power-play points and 152 hits. Veleno was viewed as a big-time prospect heading into the 2018 draft, but he slipped to No. 30 overall and has never been able to put it all together since turning pro. Veleno should be a lineup staple for Detroit once again in 2023-24, but there's zero fantasy implications here.
Veleno was essentially a regular for Detroit in 2021-22, playing in 57 of the club's final 58 games, and 66 of 82 overall. His production -- eight goals, 15 points, 123 hits -- was minimal, but Veleno turned just 22 years old in January. Veleno is a big body with a good set of hands and time is definitely on his side, but the 2018 No. 30 overall selection looks like an up-and-down guy at this point. If Veleno is again able to carve out a full-time role with the Red Wings in 2022-23, it will almost certainly be as a bottom-six forward, severely limiting his potential fantasy value.

ANALYSIS
Veleno has totaled 21 goals and 48 points in 161 games over the last two years. He was a first-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft but has seemingly settled into a bottom-six role at the NHL level. The 24-year-old averaged 13:57 of ice time and dished out 108 hits last season.
