Sevanston · Jun 30, 2015

He did really well in Rockford and finally gave them some stability in net. Easy, solid move.

Hawks Re-Up Leighton for 1 year

God dammit, Sev. :laugh:

Sevanston · Jun 30, 2015

I see I'm not the only one trawling Twitter all day. :laugh:

Predictable. If Nilsson doesn't come over, I'd imagine Carruth is #4.

Well at least they are getting all the important signings out of the way first.

It's official. We're going back 2 back.

Blackhawks · Jun 30, 2015

Stan keeps hitting them right out of the park

I guess that's telling of the goalies in the system.
Worked out well for them last year.

CourtneyDagger50 · Jun 30, 2015

Leighton did really well for the Hogs last year.
I was expecting/hoping for this.

Blackhawkswincup · Jun 30, 2015

I expect a Leighton/Carruth duo in Rockford this year

No problem with this deal

LordKOTL · Jun 30, 2015

Nothing more than a depth move. Can't complain.

JaegerDice · Jun 30, 2015

Did his job in Rockford well.

Why not bring him back?

CptnSerious · Jun 30, 2015

Not a bad goalie for Rockford.

DisgruntledHawkFan · Jun 30, 2015

Pretty solid AHL goalie. Happy to see him back.

Yep. With his experience he can fill in in a pinch, too. Hard to fault this signing.

can he still be the #3 for the Hawks? With the Money he gets, I think that's the case
