THN is starting to get beyond stupid. From this article:

http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/44701-Proteau-Teambyteam-buyout-candidates-Pt-1.html

Proteau says the likelihood of Leino being bought out is a 5 (out of 5), in other words, a clear certainty.

Don't hockey writers have to actually research and look around at things before they submit an article? And isn't an editor supposed to then double check these things? I don't get things like this when he's played half a season, has a long contract, has steadily been playing better and better (if not producing as expected) and is still getting into a new system. PLUS, Pegula has already stated that he likes this team as is a lot. How does any of that suggest a certain buy out?
