Why are people writing him off? the guy had a great year and there's no reason he shouldn't be given a look. Comparisons to Percy make no sense as Percy never improved and Leivo has.
It's probably mostly because of his lack of NHL time after the deadline mixed with the coaches comments about him. Hard to not see pass those 2 things.
I've been a big Leivo fan since his Sudbury days. To me he's pretty much a NHLer that just needs a long look. I've been wrong before though so perhaps there is something there that the Leafs just don't think he's capable of.
I'd like to see him back but I would not be surprised if he was traded this summer in some sort of package.
