Ever since the end of the clutch and grab era, power forwards have changed by definition. Cam Neely was a PF, Wendel Clark was a PF, Brendan Shanahan was a PF...personally I don't really see this type of player in the current NHL. - Hockey_Hoser
Surely Backes and Lucic are the closest to being PFs but neither strike me as being 40+goals and 150+pim players. I hate to say it but maybe Bertuzzi was the last real PF. I feel sick now

Gee how did I know this would happen that Bozak would want between $5.5-$5 mill per & the Leafs wanna give him between $3.5 & $4 mill per. The article was right though, Bozak will not be a #1 center on 29 other twams.

I don't think of a power forward as a certain set of stats, I see it as a style of play. They're either a power forward, or a finesse forward. You either rely on moves to drive offense, or you rely on force.

I think it's actually a combination of both. Prime-Bertuzzi was a physical force but actually had a nice pair of hands.

Ek just sent me a tee shirt for becoming the top hb poster of all-time (over 500,000 posts)...

I think a few years back, I must have posted 500,000 posts just on the topic of why the Leafs should get Brayden Schenn. One of my trade proposals for him even got a mention as a rumour on HNIC After 40 Minutes.

The article was written be some 15 year old. However if I'm Bozak I want Grabovski money bc I provide at the very least as much value. It's also been noted someone will pay him so I'd be willing to bet there will be a lot of teams wanting him.

Fair. I just can't help but think Cam Neely when I hear power forward. That guy was a beast.

FUK OFF BRUINS, may u get your ass's kicked by the Pens u fukken lucky bastards. U had the ref in your pocket for game 7 vs the Leafs, with Marchand throwing a water bottle on the ice & JVR getting elbowed in the nose. Bettman & the refs YET again screw the Leafs just like they did 20 years ago.
