What are those? Those candies that people put in my drink all the time?

LOL

Grabo has been a favourite of mine over the last few seasons for his drive and willingness to sacrifice his body to make plays. I couldn't wait to see him in the "_______" - rhymes with dayoffs.

I don't think even Colborne is convinced.

Give the kid a chance before you write him off.

If she takes the blue side first she gets to stay in the matrix

If she takes the red her ass will be real sore the next morning

Aside from his wrist problems he's done well enough in the AHL (slightly less than a ppg) to justify giving him 3rd line duty.

He has to start somewhere at this level, and this is the best way to go about it.

I think Carlyle will really like his size
- AngryWhiteMale

I'm fine with him playing 3rd line.Like you said gotta start somewhere. I'm still a 3rd line checking line believer though so I wanna see McClement there.

Bozak is definitely worth the 5.5 whereas Grabs is nowhere near earning it.

a 3rd liner making 5.5? uhhh no

McClement plays wing too.

He's flexible enough that we don't have to pigeon-hole him into the lineup

I corrected myself a few pages back. Everyone likes jumping on a mistake I guess, its sexier.

Still like him at center. Need him deep in our end.

I'll give peace a chance, Colborne has to earn my love.

Having the option to play with 30 teams And choosing leafs ( thank you Burke) and having true friend on his line of whom he has decent chemistry . It's safe to suggest bozak has desire to stay,he gets 4 years @ 18 million offer from leafs . Will this be enough who knows what other teams will value him at .
Kadri: leafs are handcuffed . And they won't do a bridge contract like subban. 4-5 year deal there approx 22-27 million .grabovski if unable to bring in significant piece in offseason which is no guarentee ,Could very well stick around.

thats not just a mistake...i truly believe you feel he is worth that much

Not bloody likely.

Plus we're a good road team too so it's not like we have a real preference of home/road advantage.

We'll get enough blue bums in the Bell centre if we went the distance for a game 7.

Hell I actually think I'd pay up the bum to go to a game. Even a cheap game 3 ticket at the ACC would run 400$
- AngryWhiteMale

Good road team for sure, but not in Boston. IMO, Boston is the best team in the East by quite a bit (especially with Sid injured).

I don't think anyone is afraid to play the Pens in the 1st round, they're vulnerable right now. Suspect d and goaltending, average offense with Crosby out.

a 3rd liner making 5.5? uhhh no

Not as bad as a back-up making 5.3 for the balance of the next decade

It says you're wrong. Numbers mean jack to value.
- honesthockey

I say your wrong...Grabo better than Bozak...he's Steckel with longer hair!!

Worst case scenario is that Grabs sticks around for one more year to prove himself. If we can't find suitors then we buy out the last 3 years of his deal as opposed to 4 years at the end of this year.

Agree with Bozak: 4-4.5. I bet he really likes playing here. He wouldn't have signed here if he didn't.

Kadri will be tough, but a deal will be had

I obviously have no way of knowing this, but I feel like he absolutely relishes playing and Toronto and being a big shot in the city. That and being best friends with Phil makes me think he takes a deal like the one you have proposed above. I think 4 per should be max, but if its 4.5 a year, that's not a big deal.

its just as bad...he didnt say contract length...if he were thinking 8 years...give me luongo over bozak any day

PC.. My PS3 has been collecting dust for about a year. Excited to see what PS4 can do though!

You are aware one of those two guys plays every game correct? Guess who?

Grabo cant produce on third line but kadri and bozak have earned their spot. Time for grabo to move on.
- maplereefer420

I think the opposite Kadri and Bozak playing on a checking line would cost RC his job.

Grabo could do what Bozak does with his eyes glued shut ( except winning faceoffs ), but why would they break up the 3 amigos. RC I'm thinking is hoping with Grabo checking he could hopefully put up some points too...but I doubt he is expected especially playing against the likes of Crosby/Stamkos etc etc that's only my opinion from watching every game for the last 4 years. ( some more drunken than others )
