NYIFC Comments: Sad to lose Nick Leddy, his acquisition did begin this teams turnaround in 2014-15 with Boychuk, they drop some cap space with trade deadline freeze on Saturday, and gain a second rounder with Panik, who is a forward journeyman. Panik is signed at 2.75 million for the next two years, Wings are going to pay half his salary.
