Blew up? Let's wait see if they flip him at the TDL. And they've had at least a half season of a real partner for Hronek (and their other young RHD).
Leddy is only 30 and already played 820 games, with a ring and tons of playoff experience. A 1st is very possible at the TDL, or more likely a 2nd+3rd type deal (maybe conditions can promote to a 1st). Barring long-term injury, he's very likely to net a positive ROI.
DET has made 26 picks in the top 71 in the last 6 years. They could afford to make a bet on a 52OA turning into something even better since they still drafted 6, 15, 36, and 70 last year.
