Weiss isn't that much better. To tell you the truth I don't know much more about him than what his stats say.

he brings a little more size and grit though I think Filpula resigns but he good be a good addition to a lot of teams coming from Detroit he has some skill and knows how to win and play the game properly

This is the kind of salary Weiss will command and I would take him any day over Bozak. If he hits free agency any team that coughs up this kind of money is insane.

Give Colborne a chance, he'll be a decent player that could do anything Bozak could.

No question about it. I would honestly expect him to resign for much less.

It's the time of year when sports writers and associates get to go ape poop over guys who are looking to re-up their contracts over the FA tide.

you have some sense to you it seems lots of fans want to throw money at him and put him on the first line its like do you watch him play he is a third liner a valuable third liner but still and to be honest he didn't get these numbers till his jr coach deboer got here I would really be surprised to see him do as well under anyone else
- blizzzard

Oh ya exactly, people see he has one 30 goal season and all of a sudden he's a stud. Its ridiculous what some leaf fans want. Clarky is a great 3rd liner, to sign him for the money he wants and put him on the top line is just stupid.

Agreed and then some. Colborne plays a lot more physical then Bozak too. Hes no #1 centre by any means, but then again, neither is Bozak

I am not sure what he would of got in a full season but he did have 15 this sortened season so he has found a touch but he goes cold for stretches and still isn't the best skater if you are going to go for him at that price you might as well go all in on a chris stewart or Lucic (frank) I love him hahaha obviously these guys are signed and don't come for nothing but you get the point

He's worth 3.5 max. These guys are hilarious. Derek Roy wants 6 million.
- Scooby_Doo


Lol you have absolutely zero idea what you're talking about. If he want's to stay in Toronto he would have to take around 4 but market value for a player like him is 5.

You're just so dumb.

You just called somebody dumb and said market value for Bozak is $5 million in the same sentence.

Oh I am not denying that I do hope he stays but not for 5 or more it would be another hole to fill but I think the Zajac contract is kind of bad and I think we had to do the Kovy one to get him I don't think it is bad as we will gets a ton of production from him for a good chunk of it but in the last 3-4 years it will be brutal so to have three guys with arguably bad contracts isn't good going forward for us even though the cap should raise and we aren't in cap trouble in the near future

It looks like the cap ceiling is going down next year and it's gonna mess up a bunch of teams...

Ya I know it is but our cap is fine and if we cant move Tallinder or A-train they should be bought out more so A-train since he has more term left

I doubt anyone gives him 5. Like the blog says he is not a first liner on any other team. He's a 3rd line Center getting first line minutes with the Leafs. He is worth 3.5 no more.

Seems I see the majority of Leaf fans here saying the exact same thing. You seem to be in the minority.

Bozak would look good as the second line centre for the Isles!!!

But I agree $4 million max!!!

only way bozak gets signed is if we buy out grabo. It's a tough situation really, I don't see a happy ending but at the end of the day neither is a #1 centre. There are no #1 centres available so keep one and use the money to improve other areas of the team (DEFENSE). Before this year i'd say grabo over bozak, but bozak got stronger, is better on faceoffs and defensively. If we can trade grabo for anything, sign bozak at $4 and go with bozak, kadri, colborne, mcclemant up the middle.
