Probably will not get the credit he deserves when Lou's first 2 moves was to get Martin and Leo in an Isles jersey when he became the GM to change the culture of the Isles. It was badly needed at the time. Seems like so many years ago, but I remember it well. The organization was due to for a big renovation. Also recall Trotz telling the story that he did not know much about Leo, only that Lou said you will love this guy. Trotz by his usage did. Leo is a proud guy, not surprised he would rather play in SKA than the AHL. I think the Isles will miss him in the room, his ability to lighten up the mood. Also his PK and primarily his defensive play with some bite in his game 5 v 5. He served the Isles well for 3 of the Isles best years in decades. Also recall the story of him being the person in breaking up the Martin/Babcock disagreement on the Marner incident years ago. That's the type of guy he was. It was always nice to have a conscience in the dressing room. All the best to Leo. I am sure he and Lou will stay in touch. Lou always looks after players he likes.
