TORONTO – Jared Cowen was placed on waivers by the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday in a move that caught the defenceman off guard.
"I haven't been told much so I'm not even sure," Cowen, acquired from the Ottawa Senators in the Dion Phaneuf trade earlier this month, said when asked what the plan was going forward.
Cowen, who practiced with the Leafs on Friday, had been on the injured list with hip tightness since arriving in Toronto.
"I feel much better," Cowen said. "I feel good enough to play. I thought I was going to play, so it's a little disappointing.
"It's frustrating and disappointing at the same time."
Head coach Mike Babcock didn't divulge much when asked how Cowen fits into the Leafs' future plans.
"I imagine [GM] Lou [Lamoriello] will address that. I don't think that's my spot, but obviously a disappointing day for him," Babcock said. "It's been disappointing in some ways just because he's getting healthy here now. They've really worked hard on his hip; he's healthy now and ready to go. So, whether it's down for conditioning, I don't know. Speak to Lou."
Per Leafs media relations, Lamoriello will not take questions about Cowen at this time and only plans to address reporters if Toronto makes a trade or the deadline passes.
