FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 Nick Leddy will be going on waivers.<\/p>\n
Leddy was a conspicuous absence at San Jose Sharks\u2019 practice on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, head coach Ryan Warsofsky broke the news, sharing that Leddy, 34, would be going on waivers.<\/p>\n
While Leddy, a regular healthy scratch, has struggled this season, he\u2019s had a decorated career.<\/p>\n
Once considered one of the best, if not the best skater in hockey, the left-hander was a consistent top-four defenseman for about a decade, totaling 1,061 games with the Chicago Blackhawks, New York Islanders, Detroit Red Wings, St. Louis Blues, and San Jose Sharks. He won a Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2012.<\/p>\n
Claimed off waivers from the Blues over the summer, Leddy had four assists in 19 games with the San Jose Sharks, averaging 17:30 a night.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeds has been a really good for us in the locker room. Put in some good games, some good minutes, veteran guy,\u201d Warsofsky said today. \u201cGreat human being, just a true pro in every sense of the word. We\u2019ll see what happens next.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 Nick Leddy will be going on waivers.
