No more Nick Leddy in Chicago. It's been a good run for Nick in the windy city but its hard to have all of the best players in the league and stay under the salary cap. I will say it wasn't everything it could have been for Nick in Chicago. When the Hawks got him from Minnesota, there were talks that he could be the next great D man and he potentially still could. At only 23 and now playing on a team without star studded defensemen like Keith and Seabrook, Leddy could come into his out with the Isles. Look out for NYI to be a playoff contender in the East.
Now, what did the Hawks get for Leddy? *Spoiler Alert*: It isn't much.
TJ Brennan -
A second round pick in 2007, TJ has moved around from a few different teams but had a strong year last season with the Toronto Marlies notching 72 points in 76 games. TJ would be the most likely player of this deal to end up with the big club at some point.
Ville Pokka - A 20-year-old Finnish kid who I don't know alot about other than he is a 6 foot D man who looks exactly like a 20-year-old Finnish kid.
Anders Nilsson -
24 year old goalie whos is big and has NHL experience. Not a bad addition here, he will obviously begin in Rockford but barring any injuries to either Crawford or Raanta, it will be nice to have him ready to go.
Only 4 days until Hawks Hockey, folks.
