Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: The Maple Leafs have sent Jared Cowen home for the season and he has been told he’ll be bought out. He won’t be filing a grievance against the Leafs.
“We’re going to take the time to get Jared right,” agent Rick Valette said Tuesday. “He’s not injured, but he’s not right. Any doctor would clear him to play. But there are compensation issues when your hip isn’t 100 per cent, other parts of your body are affected. Rather than having him sit as a healthy scratch with the Leafs or the Marlies, we’re going to have him go see some people and get healthy.”
