After taking Patrice Bergeron's skate to the wrist, New York Islanders forward Cal Clutterbuck is out indefinitely following surgery to repair a tendon in his wrist. With Clutterbuck out, the Islanders brought back Andrew Ladd.
Bringing back Ladd hasn't filled the fan base with a lot of optimism. It's understandable. He's been far from the player that Garth Snow thought he was signing to that seven-year $38.5 million deal a few years back. He's also not been outstanding at the AHL level. He's been fine, nothing more.
