that was in the past. they now have LL and well when he loses he wins. looks what happen with kovalchuk (sp) signing. he did not have to pay the 1st rounder that was stripped from them. so me thinks that the leafs can win this one.

No, the Devils still had to forfeit their first rounder, which would've been around the 12th pick. They received the 30th pick because Lou wouldn't let go of Bettman's dog.

Cowen's own agent claimed that he was healthy and ready to play hockey back in March and April. At the time he said they would wait for the season to end before contacting other teams. I guess there really is zero interest in him, and he is now trying to squeeze every last dollar out of his profession career.

Good thing he didn't...The Bay is deep

I'm curious as to why a hearing was not held sooner.

This is all Mats Sundin's doing. He is still sticking it to the Leafs.

That's odd. I always thought he looked like a really smart dude.

(frank) it....make him play 1st pair mins..we get a good pick and he never gets a contract again.

Win/(frank) you Cowen

I can and will blame him for putting the Leafs in a crunch.

Didn't the leafs do that to themselves when they traded for him?

That's the way I see it.

Easier to blame Cowen.

1/3 in cowen's case

Leafs pay full salary, league calls it a buyout and Cowan (frank)s off. Everyone happy.

Except it is against the rules and the rest of the league would cry foul.

In what way?

I'm at a remote starter seminar in Sudburia, Auston Matthews is here.

Except it doesn't really matter 1 way or the other...not like we're capped out. They should have already made a decision in favor of the leafs and been done with it. Not sure how he's owned by the Leafs but he goes out and gets surgery without consulting.....case closed.

Is that the way a buyout works...pay him in full and send him packing or is there more to it?

cowen is where it all started to go wrong in '68

It's quiet in here....I sense some Googling going on to find answers.

Cowan is under 26, so he'd only get 1/3 on the buyout.

Just give him full salary and be done.

I DON'T KNOW....BUT THIS CAT WAS BORN IN 69'
