Who on the Flames PP will give up PP time to Leivo?
Gaudreau, Lindholm, Tkachuk, Monahan... or maybe the Flame go with 5 forwards?
Compare Leivo's career best year 2018-19 to an ex-flame who signed with Pittsburgh for 700K
Leivo games 76 goals 14 pts 24 +5 non-pp Goals 11 non-PP pts 17
ex-Flame games 79 goals 14 pts 32 +6 non-pp goals 14 non-pp pts 32
The stats say that Leivo would have to have a HUGE improvement to match the scoring prowess of the ex-Flame.
I don't miss Jankowski but he made a better case than Leivo to be on the top-6.
As for lack of energy from the bottom 6 Jankowski 1.36 hits/ 60 minutes and Leivo 1.76 hits / 60 minutes both a sign of high skill no contact players.

The only time Jankowski hit someone was when he dozed off during play and bumped in to someone.
