San Jose Sharks Place Nick Leddy on Waivers
The San Jose Sharks have placed Nick Leddy, a former defenseman for the Chicago Blackhawks, on waivers. This marks a notable turn of events for Leddy, who is in his inaugural season with the Sharks after being acquired via waivers from the St. Louis Blues during the offseason.
Current Season Performance
With the Sharks set to reintegrate defenseman Vincent Desharnais into their lineup, Leddy has become available for other teams to claim. Throughout his current season, Leddy has struggled to find his footing, contributing no goals but managing four assists, six penalty minutes, and a disappointing minus-9 rating across 19 games played with San Jose.
Career Overview
Leddy began his NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he spent four seasons from 2010 to 2014. During his tenure with the Blackhawks, he played 258 games, netting 20 goals and 73 assists for a total of 93 points, while maintaining a plus-10 rating. His most productive season with Chicago was in 2011-12, in which he recorded 34 assists and amassed 37 points over the course of 82 games. Following his time with the Blackhawks, he was traded to the New York Islanders ahead of the 2014-15 NHL season.
