Andrew Ladd suffered through another abysmal season offensively and is not living up to expectations thus far.
Ladd, who has played in the middle-six forward group since he arrived in Brooklyn, has yet to make a significant impact. Positionally, Ladd replaced Kyle Okposo when he left in free agency, but has rarely seen top line minutes. Sure, the middle six has bounced around a lot, but Ladd hasn’t had any major moments as an Islander yet.
As for this past season, Ladd had a much quicker start than his first campaign with New York. In the home opener against Buffalo, he assisted on a shorthanded goal from Casey Cizikas in the second period.
