Report: Islanders close to acquiring Nick Leddy from Blackhawks
Dennis Wierzbicki / USA TODAY Sports
The New York Islanders are close to upgrading their blue-line, and the Chicago Blackhawks are about to pay bail and get out of salary cap prison. Sounds like a win-win.
From Arthur Staple of Newsday:
#Isles are very close to acquiring CHI D Nick Leddy, according to sources. Have not heard what would go back to CHI yet.

UPDATE: The Islanders, changing gears quickly, acquired Johnny Boychuk from the Boston Bruins in exchange for three mid-round picks on Saturday.
