The New York Islanders with the trade of Devon Toews this week have open the door for Nick Leddy to be in prime position for the upcoming expansion draft.
The New York Islanders and everyone else in the league (except the Vegas Golden Knights who are exempt) have to keep an eye on the Seattle expansion draft that takes place after the 2020-21 season.
Before the Devon Toews trade, the Isles were heading down a path where they would have to choose between him or Scott Mayfield regarding their expansion protection list.
