NICK LEDDY - Defenseman - 27 - $5.5MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2022-23
LAST UPDATED 12/30/18
One of the most underrated skaters in the NHL, Leddy is a fantastic puck moving defenseman who struggles defensively. Leddy is an incredibly smooth skater, and his speed combined with his edge work allows him to be an expert at entering the offensive zone. He doesn't have an incredible shot, but his playmaking and offensive instincts give him ~40+ point upside yearly. He doesn't provide much value defensively, and he's a liability on his own in odd-man chances, especially 2-on-one's. If paired with a defensively-focused partner, though, who can cover up for some of his defensive shortcomings, Leddy can be an incredibly valuable top-4 puck moving defenseman who can help quarterback a power play and break into the offensive zone to create chances. Just keep him off the penalty kill.
