Which is a terrible decision. Josh Leivo has done everything the Leafs could possible want. When they let him play, that is.
Let’s say you hate stats and rely strictly on what your eyes see: When he plays, Leivo is a buzzsaw who darts around the ice, is always noticeable, and seems to create offense at will.
Granted, there is some confirmation bias there because when I know he’s playing, I look for him. Regardless, he’s done well.
By the stats, he is killing it. A point per game in the NHL is super-rare. Sure, it’s only eight games, but it’s impressive nevertheless.
