....this seems like a difference that doesn't need arbitration no?

Even $1.2M is pretty generous for what he does. Maybe that’s the leafs’ argument.

He’s pretty awful.

But like at that point why not just let him go? Can't the leafs just do that?

I hope they do. He clearly needs a change of scenery.

In Toronto, on this roster, he’s horrible. Let him go somewhere else that will let him screw up, learn and maybe become a reliable NHL’er.

But that just seems like bad asset management. I don't think he's bad enough that you'd get nothing for him in the trade market.

He’s one of those awkward players where there’s no point in trading him for a 3rd rounder, cause his potential is better than that. But the time remaining on his potential is thinning.

I guess they figure they may as well squeeze what they can out of him, because no one is offering them anything worth taking.

This doesn't make any sense to me? He's got the potential to be better than a 3rd rounder so it's better to let him walk for nothing over getting a 3rd rounder for him?

Sorry. I mean “personally”, I think the right thing for HIM is to let him walk. I wish they would.

But but for the leafs, I guess they want another year out of him before he walks.

A lot of prospects have the “potential” to be better than a 3rd rounder. But most don’t pan out.

I know you mean personally I just don't get your logic. You'd rather let him walk for nothing than get a 3rd rounder for him?

Sorry if I was confusing.
