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.

- Dozzer


I'm still on the fence with Kadri at 1C. But it seems to be the best scenario to let him and Grabo both play to their full potential.

David Pagnotta is the lead guy on the site, he is on the radio, tv, print...

There's no way bozak is a 5 million dollar player. He is a good role player, wins face offs (52 percent I believe, which is only 2 out of 100 above losing as many as he wins) and can PK, and has been on the PP and no. 1 line by default.

While I think those things bring value to the team, you can make pretty much the same argument for Mcclement.

Bozak is not an elite talent. If I had the choice to have him on the team or not, sure. But if that came with a 5 million dollar price tag. Take a walk

Most UFA's are going to find out with the cap going down, they will not get what they are asking for especially this year moving forward.

I will stay with my original stand, been saying it for a few months

Clarkson
Murray or Scuderi
Bickell

Backup plan: Brenden Morrow

New addition: Gordon

- LeafMan



I like him. If they let Orr go he'd look good with McLaren.

hard to prove a guy wrong who doesnt say anything

the only fact you have stated is bozak gets lots of ice time

and you keep obnoxiously repeating that, its comparable to listening to a braying mule in heat

he will upgrade that slot if he can do so reasonably. if not.. it will come down to what carlyle thinks

Kadri was 47 percent on the draw. which means he wins 5 less out of 100 than bozak. Granted Bozak was taking most of his faceoffs against number 1 centers, but I think faceoffs will be a big emphasis during Kadri's offseason.

again, Bozak is serviceable but certainly not irreplaceable

I read somewhere (can't remember the site) that Eakins thinks the Leafs should give a good look at camp to D'Amigo, Ashton, Blacker and Scott (don't know why he was mentioned, he is UFA).

exactly.. he is simply not worth big money

you dont pay out a big contract to a guy because he was put into a role due to lack of options

No mention of ColboUrne? I thought he seemed to be gaining more confidence as the games went on.
