He's been passed and it's probably time to move on for both sides. He had plenty of chances to grab a spot but never could. With a system that heavily favors defense and the guys ahead of him, he'd have to do a 180 stylistically to have a shot at a spot with Faulk, Slavin, Pesce, Hanifin, Hainsey, and Wisniewski easily ahead of him. Not to mention Fleury, McKeown, and Carrick as younger guys hanging around for their shot. Hopefully moved for a similarly stagnating forward in the offseason.
I would love him on the Toronto Maple Leafs. They badly need, and crave a RD with speed for todays NHL game. We just aquired Connor Carrick who is somehwhat similiar. 5'10, speedy, offensive first defenseman.
What would it take to get him from the leafs? Leivo is a 22 year old brusing 6'2 power forward. Murphy FOR Leivo?
