The New York Islanders have a surplus of defenseman in their system, so it comes as no surprise that they’re looking to move one of them in hopes for a top-six forward. Nick Leddy has the best chance of doing that.
Yes, Leddy has had two bad years in a row but at just 28 years old there’s a pretty good chance that a change of scenery would be all that Leddy needs to get going again.
TSN’s Darren Dreger seems to believe that the Islanders need to move Leddy for cap flexibility.
