It certainly wasn't a quiet summer, as GM Paul Holmgren passed on expensive options in goal to stick with Michael Leighton, who was outstanding in the regular season but faltered badly in the Stanley Cup Final. Instead, he spent his available cap dollars on an already-solid defense that he hopes will lighten t Read More »
