Analysis:

With several months to go before training camp, Ladd's availability shouldn't be at risk to begin the season. Despite playing through the sports hernia prior to the Jets' elimination in the first round of the playoffs, Ladd still finished with a career season, netting 24 goals, 62 points and a plus-9 rating over 81 regular-season contests.
