I personally feel it is dumb because they (Leafs) are ruining a young hockey player's career.
If Leafs do not want him than let him free. Let Leivo make his own future. Why are the leafs making life hard for Leivo?
Babcock gets paid well
Lou gets paid well
Leivo gets paid ok. If Leivo was going to live till he was 80 whatevver he is getting paid now will not suffice until he is 80.
Either you give Leivo a chance or trade/waive him. What leafs are doing with Leivo is just WRONG!
There is a reason they get paid well.
Lous job is to maximize value out of our assetts. It is definately not to give away property of the Toronto maple leafs for free. If he waives or trades leivo for nothing, that is basically the equivalent of stealing from work. He doesn't own leivo. The Toronto maple leafs do. Any moves made he is accountable for.
Leivo is a chess piece. Just because we have lots of pawns doesn't mean we give them to our opponents for free.
This is a business. Maybe leivo should have worked harder in the offseason if he didn't want this kind of treatment. You're right he gets paid a decent amount.
We don't even know the full story.. Why was he injured in the offseason?
Has he been a good employee since his recent signing?
He's still employed so I'm sure he's at least somewhat happy. Even if you aren't.
