I really can't pick up your poopty sarcasm anymore. I'm getting weak. 8 pts so far...not too bad.

As for Gardiner, I'm of the opinion you can never have too many d. Percy/Finn/Blacker, they can all turn out to be the next Brendan Bell. Just stick with what we have, and make damn sure we continue to make the most of our picks.

Agreed. It's likely Percy, Finn, Rielly, Gardiner & Blacker will not ALL go on to have long flourishing NHL careers, I'd love it if they all did but it's the law of averages. That's why it's smart to keep stock piling these kind pf d-men. Too bad JFJ didn't believe in this theory. He thought having two highly touted draft picks who were goalies was one too many. The end result, Pogge pooped the bed & Rask is a star in Boston instead of wearing the colours of the team that drafted him.

FUK U JFJ!!!!

For those who say o'Rielly isn't worth what he's asking, Bozak is a UFA this summer. What do you pay for that?

I'm more worried what O'Reilly's next contract will mean for a guy like Kadri.

If KAdri plays well and put up the pts, well have to pay up.

What do we do with Bozak if we don't want to pay o'Rielly that??

Gunner who was probably our 2nd best Dman last year, and our most constant doesn't belong on this team because an older, lesser player played well in 15 games.

It's hard to defend Leaf fans as not over rating their players when stuff like this comes up.

It's not about that. It's about needing a good centre more.

Would he be the smallest #1 center in the NHL?? He looks so small out on the ice..

I like Holzer (aside from the 1st 2 games). but he maybe one guy as I don't think he requires waivers yet.

Giroux 5'11" 174

Agreed. Bozak is under rated. I like Bozak MUCH better than Weiss. PLus this year Bozak has been sizzling on the draws.

But, he looks smaller than that. And, as much as I do not like CG, he plays far bigger than that.

It's the team's biggest need right now. Bozak would be a great third line centre, but the Leafs will never go anywhere with him as their number 1.

Hope and praying isn't a great team management strategy. If they could get O'Reilly, I'd definitely do it, and still go after Getzlaf. Teams with more than two top centres generally find a place to put them.... Kopitar, Richards, Carter are all centres. A lot of teams have several of them, and move one to the wing. I'd rather that than not have 2 good ones.

If it came to it, you trade off Grabovski.
