Eh, worse case scenario he rides out the contract in the AHL. Prevents us from having a cap hit next year.
- Leafs43

Worst Case is the can't buy him out and he gets healthy in the fall. Leafs would be stuck with his 3.1 cap hit. Sending him down only saves about 950k.

Leafs doing anything today? Been off the grid.

The funny thing was that all you Maple Laughs fans were automatically assuming that he is coming home, right?!?!
- Sabresfan88

Seems like Pegula never gets his man.

The team just isn't at that point yet.

Trades are a different story, depending on what can be worked out. I would not mind D help, not necesarily top pairing, but at least one more experienced left hand D

Aren't the Leafs short on on Righties? Rielly n Gardiner both Lefties.

But we don't need the cap room this year so it doesn't matter...

Not sure why everyone wants to just sign some one and give them the captaincy

It's a bit fuky.. ..letting youth sort out the captain thing seems to be a issue for some...I guess they want to rush out and buy a C jersey with a name on it...kids..

Signed Stamkos then traded him to TB for cap space.

Likely wont if this plays out like it apparently is going to..

I'm pretty sure they will name Rielly captain. Like 90% sure.

What are we going to use the cap space on? We already have plenty of cap space once Horton goes on LTIR. Cowen would simply be taking a roster spot away from someone we want to develop, hence why we should just send him to the AHL.

How or why in the (frank) would you name Matthews captain? (frank) sakes.

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
1) On Jared Cowen, hearing NHL & NHLPA began an arbitration case yesterday to determine whether or not TOR can buy him out.

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
2) There is still more to be done, so a decision is not expected in immediate future. No one (NHL, NHLPA, team or agent) is talking.

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
3) but, word is Cowen had surgery after he left TOR on a doctor's recommendation. Prior to that, he had been cleared to play in AHL...

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
4) So the dispute surrounds whether or not he was healthy. Apparently, that's for the arbitrator to decide. (Fini)
