Nick Leddy will have to step back up for the New Islanders after Devon Toews was traded. What can we expect from the veteran blueliner?
With the Devon Toews trade, Nick Leddy will move up the New York Islanders depth chart to regain a role he previously held. Sorta. Leddy will now become the team’s number-two left-handed defenseman, premier puck-mover, and power-play quarterback.
The ten-year NHL veteran will also get some of the ice-time he lost over the last two years with the emergence of Devon Toews.
