Vancouver, British Columbia — A sure sign trade deadline day is approaching? Players who could be shipped out, are sat.
The Red Wings scratched defenseman Nick Leddy from Thursday's lineup against the Vancouver Canucks with what is being called a "management decision".
Leddy, who'll be 31 Sunday, is also likely not going to play Saturday in Seattle — if he is still a Red Wing at that point.
Leddy, who arrived from the New York Islanders in a trade last summer for a second-round draft pick, can be an unrestricted free agent in July.
