Former Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy has been placed on waivers by the San Jose Sharks. Leddy is currently in his first season with the Sharks after the Pacific Division club claimed him off waivers from the St. Louis Blues this past off-season. Now, with this latest news, Leddy is once again available for the taking after being placed on waivers. Leddy being placed on waivers by the Sharks comes with San Jose blueliner Vincent Desharnais set to return to their lineup. Leddy has recorded zero goals, four assists, six penalty minutes, and a minus-9 rating in 19 games this season with the Sharks. Leddy played his first four NHL seasons with the Blackhawks from 2010-11 to 2013-14. In 258 games as a member of the Blackhawks over that span, he recorded 20 goals, 73 assists, 93 points, and a plus-10 rating. This included him recording 34 assists and 37 points in 82 games with Chicago in 2011-12. Leddy's time with the Blackhawks came to an end ahead of the 2014-15 season when he was traded to the New York Islanders.
