I have to think this is posturing by Holmgren. IIRC, Leighton actually badmouthed the Flyers for dumping him in the minors and not giving him a chance. I mean, it just doesn't really make a lot of sense unless Holmgren was eyeing someone else's back-up and the price was too high and this is his way of trying to get the price down. I dunno.
I really would not like to see this, but Leighton at like $750K is not awful. And Bryz wouldn't have to worry about a younger guy trying to steal his job, because Leighton isn't stealing anything. I would interpret Holmgren's words simply as "Leighton is still our property."
