He's here in case of injuries, it's not ideal for him but we've had supernaturally healthy wingers.
He is not going to make the team next year as a regular or maybe not at all. I see him traded or waived.I think he's been passed, but I mean it's hard to not expect him to get passed by people that are actually getting regular playing time. He'll be a regular next year. He'll get time in the playoffs if there are injuries.
He is not better than either of them. If he was he would be playing. Choosing Hyman is a joke..he has more points then many of our players all 5 on 5 or on the pk. Levio is a spare forward and will likely get his last NHL chance next year but likely elsewhere.I'm a big Leivo fan. I thought he looked good when he got a chance to play. He has produced relatively well given that he has mostly been given limited minutes on the 4th line.
He's certainly better than Komarov and Hyman. Hopefully there will be room for him next year without JVR and Komarov (and Martin).

Has the new flavor of the week turned into Andreas Johnsson? I thought the demands were that Leivo was suppose to be our #1 LW, Hyman goes to the fourth line and Komarov gets a job sharpening skates in the KHL? Or did fans just finally give up beating a dead horse?
Sorry but Levio has proven that he is not currently an NHL player has had many opportunities to get into the line up and earning a spot but he has not done so. That is on Levio blaming Babcock for his inability to earn a spot is laughable.People were saying the exact same thing in the first half of the year when I said that Dermott should be a regular in the lineup.
Was Martin playing over Kapanen in the first half of the year because Martin was a better player?
It's pretty easy to prove that Babcock hasn't always put his best players available in the lineup.

There are many roles on teams and Levio is a scoring winger. He has not been able to beat out any of our top 9 wingers and that is what he needs to do to earn a spot.
He has gotten PP time as well as 5on5 time and has been found lacking.
We will try to move him but if not he will have to clear waivers again.Lol Leivo wont make the team next year? Who's going to take his spot Bracco? JVR, Bozak, and Komarov are as good as gone next season. That opens up two wing spots, Potentially three if Nylander moves to center. Leivo will be a full timer in some way next season, that is, if he hasn't already been dealt in the summer.
Exactly my point.Which winger is he supposed to beat out for a scoring role? Marleau? JVR? Nylander or Marner? Every other winger on the team kills penalties and gets hard minutes.
Exactly my point.
