Jared Cowen is not a wanted man, and that's got to be tough to take for a guy who was drafted 9th overall just seven years ago.
The 25 year old defenceman, acquired on February 9 from the Ottawa Senators in the Dion Phaneuf trade has not played a game as a Leaf, and likely never will. It's a steep drop for a man who really does seem to believe in himself while no one else does.
He's been on IR since the trade, not for any specified injury but something a little more unusual per Mike Babcock:
"They just felt that his hips were really tight," Babcock said.
