Jamieson Rees

June 2025- After a season that saw him wear three different jerseys, Rees was able to stick in Belleville with the Senators for the entire 2024-2025 season. He scored four goals, and added 10 assists and 10 penalty minutes across 42 games. Rees provided most of his offense at even-strength, but did see some modest powerplay usage. He has yet to see an NHL call up, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, it remains to see who he will be suiting up for in 2025-2026. At present, he’d be a hard player to roster in most fantasy leagues. Alex Wyatt

May 2023 – Rees’s third AHL season has come to an end, racking up 92 PIMs in 65 games to go along with 42 points. His development this year was nice, improving his point total by 18 from last year and becoming a great AHL pest. Rees will have every chance to prove himself to the Hurricanes in training camp, where he will battle it out with some other young players for a spot on the roster. Nick Bass

March 2022 – Rees is having a quiet AHL campaign this year, after going over a point per game in his final OHL year, and is one point shy of last year’s AHL total despite playing 14 more games this season. The playmaking centre has 10 assists to his three goals, and hasn’t factored in much on Chicago’s power play this year, with only one assist on the man-advantage. Rees is 21, and worth a stash in deeper leagues, but fantasy owners likely aren’t terribly excited by the step back in production. Alex Wyatt

May 2021 – Rees had a strong rookie season in the AHL, playing in 29 games and scoring eight times while adding six assists. His game translates well to the professional level and he produced points in bunches, often times getting multiple point games (two multi-point games in his last four appearances). Next year Rees should be comfortably in Carolina AHL team’s top-six and have a role in all situations. Austin Broad

January 2021 – Rees signed his ELC right around the same time that Jarvis did. A sandpaper type player, much in the same mold as a Brock McGinn or a Jordan Martinook type player with more offense, Rees brings a style of play that Rod Brind’Amour covets in his players night in and night out in Raleigh, NC.

February 2020 – Rees has been a big bright spot on a Sarnia Sting team that has struggled, as he has tallied 58 points in 35 games. He was also named an OHL All Star. Rees plays an aggressive game that fits the style of an NHL team as he could fit in the same role as Brock McGinn and Jordan Martinook with the likely possibility of more offense. He brings a higher level of physicality that would not be expected from players with a smaller size. Jack LeGwin

December 2019 – Rees has been one of the most intriguing players in his post-draft season from a year ago. After putting up a point-per-game performance in his draft year, albeit in just 37 games, the pivot has had a breakout campaign thus far in 2019-20. His 45 points in 24 games have been impressive, as he leads Sarnia in points-per-game and sits tenth in the OHL in scoring. Carolina has done a great job at plucking undervalued second rounders going back to 2012, as names like McGinn, Nedeljkovic, Aho, Kuokkanen, Drury and Luostarinen have all been found between picks 35 and 47. Looks like they got another good one in Rees. Kevin LeBlanc

June 2019 – Rees was drafted 44th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes. Pat Quinn
