^^^ Such is the life of a hockey player though right? You just really never know when you have a family and attempt to put down roots.

It is, but I still can't help but feel for him.

Sounds like he will be put on re-entries today per Chip. We must have someone ready to take him or we're up to something...

I was just coming to post that. Here is a quote from Leighton himself.
Quote: "The plan was I was going to go on re-entry waiver. That’s what went on today, but the league refused it, so tomorrow I’m going to be on re-entry. It’s kind of wait and see. If I don’t get picked up, I go back up to Carolina, and they’ve got to figure something out from there. If I don’t clear, then I’m going somewhere else."
"I know Carolina’s got their thing sorted out. I’m not going to get many games there. I’m a free agent after this year, and I just want to find somewhere where I can play some hockey. Whether it’s in the NHL or the AHL, I’ve got to find the right fit for me. Whether I get picked up by another team or get loaned to another AHL team, it just comes down to playing hockey, and that’s all I want to do right now."

Well at least he seems to have a good attitude about it.

We should here something about Leights tomorrow. It's the right decision for the team I think (keeping Manny) but you feel for him - he is such a nice guy. I just hope that he gets to play somewhere and that his family can have a semi-normal Christmas.
