"Nick Leddy is back in the NHL with the San Jose Sharks, but it remains unclear as to when or where the veteran defenseman will play his next game. Now back practicing with the Sharks since he was recalled from the Barracuda on Wednesday, Leddy's playing career is somewhat in limbo, with a return to the AHL, a move to another team, or remaining on San Jose's NHL roster all possibilities in the coming days and weeks."
"Control what I can control, Leddy, a 16-year NHL veteran and Stanley Cup champion, said Saturday of his approach to the uncertainty. There are some things that are completely out of my hands. You never know what will happen. Claimed by San Jose in July after he was placed on waivers by the St. Louis Blues, Leddy has had a tumultuous season so far in the Sharks organization."
"Leddy started off as a top-four defenseman with the Sharks, averaging close to 21 minutes of ice time per game, before he sustained an upper-body injury in an Oct. 23 game against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Leddy returned in mid-November, but struggled to keep a spot in the lineup, dressing in only 12 of 31 games before he was placed on waivers by the Sharks on Jan. 18."
