Nick Leddy Appreciation Thread

- Start date
I'm bummed to see him go. I have a feeling he's going to be missed. Quality offensively skilled defensemen are hard to come by and are necessary to any serious contender. I think he was underrated.
Am definitely sad to see him go. That day or two when we snagged both him and Boychuk was one of the most exciting times in an offseason I've had as an Isles fan; it signified we were going from rebuild to trying to actually win and both were instrumental in turning things around and winning that first playoff series in decades, and then some more when Trotz/Lou came along. I am a bit bummed that neither is likely to play for us again, but that's the business these days and I wish Leddy the best of luck moving forward.

Think Trotz really helped Nick when he hit the wall and had that dreadful plus minus year on a dreadful defensive club. Trotz got him his confidence back. I appreciate everything Nick did here from the day he arrived.
It was time, but his skating ability will be missed. Let’s see what Lou does

Maybe we could pick him up at the TDL...
I'd give them back that same 2nd + a prospect for that to happen right after the expansion draft honestly (if a legitimate upgrade isn't going to happen).
Echoing the sentiment about getting Leddy and Boychuk at the same time. They were a great pairing, and I will miss Nick's effortless skating. Wishing him at least one more Cup, but not against us.
Leddy was a very solid player for us for a long time. The trades Garth made to bring both him and Boychuk over really helped completely change the trajectory of our franchise even with the couple of tough years in the middle pre-Trotz. Watching him skate was a thing of beauty. Sad to see him go, but it was the right move at the right time, but he will absolutely be missed.

Great player and class all the way. He'll be missed, but it was probably a necessary move and not just for salary/cap clearance. He keeps on giving. True pro. This move will benefit both teams.

Wings fan here, happy to trade with my #2 team (NYI)/Childhood team (70's-mid 80's). Hopefully it's win-win. Would've like to pay a 3rd, but a late-ish 2nd isn't unreasonable.
Can't put a price on mentorship for Filip "Don't Call Me Jeremy/JR" Hronek, MoZilla Seider & Gus "don't call me Nik" Lindstrom.
didn't know where else to put this JGP pic, so... (also looks like he's flippin' the bird, I'm sure he's not, just looks like it hahaha).

Mackenzie is a hack!
They really didn't want to retake that photo with his fingers in a different pose?

Those ultrasound photos curl, so he's just keeping the paper straight by putting it between his fingers.
