By Tony Abbott -
Since then, the combination of 3 factors: 1) He developed into a good depth defenseman for a good team in Chicago, 2) The Wild could use defensive depth, and really could have used it since even before that trade occurred, and 3) He's from Minnesota, has kept him in the mind of many Wild fans.
And as annoying as it is, that should actually probably be the case. Nick Leddy has developed into a player who would, at the very least, be the 4th best defenseman on the team, and probably ahead of Spurgeon. He doesn't bring any physicality, which would be welcome for this blue line, but having another puck mover wouldn't hurt this team one bit.
So, if you want to cry about Nick Leddy, that's fine. Again, he's a good player. If the Wild signed a defenseman of his caliber and skill-set at the salary he's at, we'd all be ecstatic.
But don't act like he's a savior, because that doesn't appear to be the case.
