De Leo, who was on the non-roster injured reserve list with a knee issue, was put on waivers by Anaheim on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
De Leo's placement on waivers indicates that he's recovered from the knee injury that he sustained during the preseason. He had nine goals and 23 points in 22 games with AHL San Diego in 2022-23. If De Leo goes unclaimed on waivers, he's expected to report to AHL San Diego.

Ducks' Chase De Leo: Headed for minors
Rotowire
De Leo was placed on waivers Monday in order to move him down to AHL San Diego, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Since making his NHL debut in 2015-16, De Leo has logged just seven contests at the top level for Winnipeg, Anaheim and New Jersey. As such, the California native has yet to record a single point and figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests this year.

Ducks' Chase De Leo: Signs two-way deal
Rotowire
De Leo agreed to terms on a two-year, two-way contract with Anaheim on Thursday.
Over the last five seasons, De Leo has logged seven games for the Jets, Ducks and Devils. The California native is still searching for his first NHL point while registering just 10 shots. While the 26-year-old center has been productive in the minors, he recorded 56 points in 55 games last year, he just hasn't been able to bring that level of production to the NHL and figures to remain a fringe roster player.

De Leo has five NHL appearances to his name, but he's yet to play more than two games in any season. The 25-year-old forward could get a look at a bottom-six job with the rebuilding Devils, but it's more likely he'll spend most of the season with AHL Utica.

Ducks' Chase De Leo: Sent to waivers
Rotowire
De Leo was placed on waivers Friday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
De Leo spent most of 2019-20 with AHL San Diego, where he had 10 goals and 25 points in 51 games. The Ducks like the 25-year-old as organization center depth, but he didn't do enough in training camp to earn a spot on the Opening Night roster. It's unlikely De Leo does enough to see time with the parent club in 2020-21.
