Islanders place Andrew Ladd on waivers

NEW YORK _ The Islanders have placed left wing Andrew Ladd on waivers.

Ladd currently is on long-term injured reserve with a torn left ACL. He played 26 games last year and recorded 11 points (three goals, eight assists) before suffering the injury on March 24.

Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello told reporters on Thursday that the team placed the 33-year-old Ladd on waivers for the purpose of re-assigning him to their AHL team in Bridgeport. Lamoriello said the organization did not see enough from Ladd in his five-game conditioning stint to believe he's ready to return to the NHL, but believes he'll clear waivers.
