fair enough.. but the point still stads.. bozak was used a lot out of necessity.. not because he is deserving of it

the man is not a 5million dollar player.. not even close

let him walk.

It'll be funny if the Leaf brass feels you are wrong. I wanna here the backpedaling then.

because of the draw proficiency.

carlyle had only 2 guys he trusted in the dot at key times

AND

bozak was on one of the PK units.. and guess who was the most penalized team in the league?

wait for it...

TORONTO

you keep pointing at ice time but you simply fail to recognize the WHY part of it.. its weak.. and unsubstantiated.

yay for him.. he got a lot of ice time.. was it because of his play? no.. it was because the leafs lack a true number one centre and they took a (frank) load of penalties.

it wasnt because bozak is so incredibly skilled or deserving at all.

Absolutely not, if they would have used him as the third centre right from the beginning, he would be in the 2 to 2.5 mil range.

I see people mention Murray as a D possibility. From what I have heard of the talking heads, he is slow and not that good. I dont know a lot about him. Where would he fit on the leafs?

actually.. nonis already said that bozak and the leafs are FAR apart with bozak wanting 5.5million

that suggests the leafs brass doesnt feel he is 5million dollar player either.

Hey Doz, got a question. I know you like the idea of Bozak Leaving and Grabo staying, and I do too, but if Bozak walks, and we get a decent first line center, instead of moving Kadri up, what are we gonna do with Grabo? 3rd line center again? Wing him with Kadri?

depends on if carlyle intends on using grabo in a shut down role again or not i guess.

i really think that the leafs should just play kadri 1st line centre. time to sink or swim.
