According to Friend Of The Blog James "James Mirtle" Mirtle, Jared Cowen and the Leafs are disputing whether or not he's injured--and if he's injured, Cowen cannot be bought out.
Word is that the Leafs buyout of Jared Cowen is being disputed due to a continuing injury. That's why there's some confusion.

According to Bob Mackenzie, the Leafs have now missed the first buyout window.
As I speculated on @OverDrive1050 tonight, Jared Cowen has not been bought out by TOR in the 1st buyout window, which is now closed.
