Three times the Province's average salary seems like a significant sum to play minor league hockey.

Leivo re-signed to a 2-year contract.

A low cap hit, but he gets 2-years and a 1-way deal.

Expansion draft fodder if he gets into enough games this year . . .

Would need 40 games this season. I don't think he'll be up for nearly that many but yeah could be a factor.

Why would they shut him down exactly? Las Vegas doesn't have to choose a player that fits the 40/70 criteria, we just have to expose players (2 F, 1 D) that meet it. They can still choose someone that doesn't meet it.
Edited to add:
In fact, it would be a blessing in disguise if he met the criteria, because as of right now the only forwards we have signed into '17-'18 that will conceivably meet the 40/70 criteria that we won't want to protect starts and ends with Lupul- if he stays healthy enough. Otherwise, we'd need to trade for someone to meet the criteria or sign one of Michalek, Greening, or Laich to a 1yr contract extension to meet the criteria and then hope they get selected or we are stuck with having to trade, bury, or keep them on the roster another year.
(This assumes we are protecting Kadri, JvR, Komarov, Brown, Martin, Bozak, and Holland up front)

This strikes me as rewarding a younger guy that has probably paid his dues to the point that he probably deserves a spot ahead of guys like Greening, Lupul, Michalek and Laich.
They might have talked about he might be a victim of the numbers game, having to play in the AHL, we will take care of you down there until we open a spot up top for you, especially if he is having the "NHL Summer" that was talked about, he could be an everyday guy at the practise facility working out this summer etc.

Sending him down wouldn't protect him from the expansion draft. He has enough professional experience that they'd have to include him as one of their 7 forwards to protect. If he plays well enough to warrant that, great, but, since they're likely to expose him any way, better to have him be one of the minimum threshold guys.
