00:00Kozmenko's leave isn't a roster move. Andrei Kozmenko is taking leave after his father was
00:07killed by a bear. This is a family tragedy, not a lineup problem. ESPN reported the Penguins gave
00:16him leave with no announced return date. No deadline has been placed on his grief.
00:23The test is simple. Can a team protect a player without turning private loss into public content?
00:30Should every workplace offer that same protection? Or is someone still treating leave like a roster move?
