Haley suspended -- could become Group 6 Free Agent

Per a tweet from Mike Fornabaio (@fornabaioctp) Michael Haley has been suspended for three games for his fight with Worcester's Mike Moore on Sunday.  (The two fought on their way out of the penalty box from a previous fight)  Haley is eligible to return next Tuesday vs. Worcester.

Haley, by the way, appears to be headed to Group 6 free agency if he is not re-signed prior to July 1st.

<<GROUP 6

Haley, who will turn 26 later this month, has 3 professional seasons under his belt and has played in 38 NHL games.
