Leafs traded for Cowen with no intention of playing him (dick move, but Leafs don't have to play him). They told Cowen they were going to buy him out in the summer and he was free to talk to other teams that were interested.
That summer Cowen gets surgery from a doctor with no connection to the NHL without contacting the Leafs or the NHL. Then when the Leafs try to buy him out he claims he can't be bought out because he is injured and still recovering from the surgery.
Leafs say at the end of the season you were not injured and you did not consult us about this injury...it went to arbitration and it was decided in the Leafs favour.
So now he is on a PTO for the Avs. It will be interesting to see if he can make the team.
