Josh Arichibald and Sean Maguire were sent to Arizona in
exchange for Michael Leighton to help out WBS. This trade likely won’t register
as either helping or hurting Pittsburgh. It is important for WBS to find
success on the ice. Lately that has not happened.

Playing DeSmith every night the rest of the season simply
isn’t an option. The outlook is even bleaker if Jarry or DeSmith were to be
injured for WBS. As a result, WBS has dropped from 1st in the
Atlantic Division to 4th in the Atlantic Division. This is
unacceptable.
Michael Leighton is a
fine AHL backup. He has already played 14 AHL games this season for the Chicago
Wolfs and Syracuse Crunch. That’s more AHL games played than the tandem of
Peters and Steven (who were foisted onto WBS 2 weeks ago) had played in their
entire career. Let that sink into your head.
He also isn’t constantly
injured like Sean Maguire.
Leighton has been kicking around the AHL since 2001. Here
are three reasons to like, nay love, this guy already….
1. ) He Fights
Here’s a young Michel Leighton going to town
with some dude named Cam Ward.
Leighton is at it again here going after Jimmy Howard.
2.) He has played in the longest AHL game in history
….which
he lost for the Albany River Rats.
As a fan in the crowd that night as a
purely neutral observer, I can attest to the fact that that was a brutal game
to lose. Could there be anything worse?
3.) He let in a bad goal for the Flyers that
time.
By that, I mean he let in a really bad goal for the Flyers that sent the Stanley Cup to the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final in 2010.

Does it get any better? Watching the Flyers
lose, is the next best thing to watching the Penguins win.
Welcome to the Pens, Leighton. Anyone who
takes a Stanley Cup away from the Flyers is a friend in my book.
That's an interesting informative article.
