Eden Prairie Native Nick Leddy Wins Praise in Chicago
Leddy, who was named Minnesota's Mr. Hockey and once played for the Wild, helped the Blackhawks defeat the wild in the first game of the NHL playoffs.
With the Wild suffering a loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday, Chicago sports fans are reminded of how fortunate they are to have Eden Prairie native Nick Leddy playing for the Blackhawks.
Tim Sassone, a columnist with The Daily Herald of suburban Chicago, wrote that, “Stan Bowman might never make a better trade as long as he is general manager of the Blackhawks.”
The Wild picked Leddy in the first round in 2009 but traded him to Chicago, along with defenseman Kim Johnsson, in February 2010.
