New York Islanders 2016-2017 Player Grades: Nick Leddy

The New York Islanders held onto Jack Capuano way too long this season and no one player aside from Ryan Strome felt the sting of it more than Nick Leddy.

Sure, Leddy got ice time and power play minutes under Capuano. He had responsibility heaped upon him as a first pair defenseman. He also played the majority of the first half of the season miserably with Travis Hamonic.

The two defensemen were a seeming poison to each other. While plus/minus has become an apparent obsolete statistic, it still tells a story.
