QbGamer Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 RALEIGH NEWS & OBSERVER: reports the Carolina Hurricanes have placed goalie Michael Leighton on re-entry waivers. SPECTOR'S NOTE: He was earning $600K at the start of this season so any team claiming him now could have Leighton at a very affordable price of less than $200K. http://www.spectorshockey.net/index.php?op...rs&Itemid=4 Isnt this the same guy we picked up off of waiver 1-2 yrs ago, and then traded him for a low draft pick..

AK-1 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 He's the same guy. I'm not sure if we got anything for him. We got a 7th round pick out of him so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QbGamer Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 We should have picked him up this time, just to mess with phily, they would have had to traded for halak,. We could have waived him the second the trade was done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristinoem7 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Don't think they picked him up to save the team. With Emery out they probably needed to fill the spot on the Phantoms with the call-up of Johan Backlund. Even with Boucher playing so horribly they haven't used Backlund meaning they have no confidence in the kid. Leighton's numbers for the season: GPI - W - L - OT - GA - SA - Sv - Sv% - GAA - SO - PIM - Min 7 - 1 - 4 - 0 - 25 - 164 - 139 - .848 - 4.29 - 0 - 0 - 350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
