Pittsburgh Penguins forward Andrei Kuzmenko is taking leave after his father was killed by a bear. ESPN reported that the team gave him leave with no announced return date, making this a human decision—not a roster calculation. The open question is whether ordinary workplaces would offer the same protection when grief threatens productivity. Pick a side: should leave protect people first, or are teams still treating employees like lineup pieces?
