Gleason signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild, PuckPedia reports.
Scouting Report
Owns a projectable (6-1) frame and a wealth of offensive ability from the back end (especially at lower levels). Is a smooth puck mover and a good skater. Can get into trouble from time to time when he over-handles the puck, so he needs to play a safer game at the highest level to stick in the long run.
Long Range Potential: Solid, offensive defenseman with upside.
