long story short, pascal leclaire has been recalled from syracuse.
imo it took so long mostly for $ reasons. each day you are down, game or not you are paid AHL salary (about per year 75,000) vs. days with the big club (his NHL salary is around 900,000, his contract was resturcted this year and terms where not disclosed)
