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 scored a goal and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.
ANALYSIS
Veleno lit the lamp for Chicago's second goal of the contest just over six minutes into the first period. Overall, the 25-year-old center posted eight goals, 17 points, 139 hits and 75 shots on net in 74 games this season. Veleno's first 18 games with the Blackhawks saw him raise his play offensively with three goals and seven points in that span. He wrapped up the season with back-to-back games with a point and was a bright spot down the stretch on the Blackhawks' fourth line. He is signed through next season and should challenge for a middle-six role to begin the 2025-26 campaign.

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.

Elects for arbitration
CDetroit Red Wings
July 5, 2024
Veleno will head to arbitration, per PuckPedia.
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.
