Confirmed with Link: Domingue traded to Tampa Bay for Leighton, McGinn

[Ebb]

Sweet deal for him. No expectation to play, gets to collect an NHL salary.

Well, except that his "NHL" salary is...

45% of what we're retaining on Smitty this year (plus 1 more season)
52% of what we are still paying Vermette
33% of what we are still paying Ribeiro (plus 2 seasons after that)​

So, I guess the team is being financially "smarter"

Interesting note...
We have 5.26 million in the above (including Leighton's salary), plus Bolland's 5.5 million; Ugh!

So Leighton just hit the Injured Reserve per THN.

So Leighton just hit the Injured Reserve per THN.

What the heck? He played the full 60 minutes with Syracuse three days before the trade.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Leighton loaned to the Chicago Wolves today.

Back to Chicago. Sort of.

We wanted Domingue gone. The price was having to figure what the hell to do with Leighton. Mission accomplished and we have a McGinn for Tucson to boot. Not bad.
