Kadri is closer to being a #1 centre then anything that's available in fa. I stand by that statement.
- mykokes

He better be.

But what would Flyers want from the Leafs?
- GCHonda

Something like McClement and Phaneuf for B Schenn and Coburn?

I smell a trade...

Joe Thornton?
Paul Stastny?

Please Nonis, don't blow this money on Bozak...

Is Bozak's price coming to a strong reality?
- Feeling Glucky?

Yes, 8 years 5.7 per...

Because he's not very good.

We will never win with him.

He's not a #1 centre - he lacks offensive skills.

He's not a #2 centre - see above.

He's not a #3 centre - he lacks the size, grit and heart.

So where the hell does the guy get off demanding an 8-year contract?

That's for superstars.

He's not even a star.

He's not good.

The Leafs will never win with him. That's why I don't want him on the roster - and sure as hell not for over $3.5 million a year.

Does that answer your question?

Truth bomb.

I am going to do absolutely no work for the rest of the day. I've gotta stay on top of this situation.

Thank you Nonis for making my day exciting, please don't give that money to bozak

Sadly, you won't get any more news until tomorrow at noon.

But don't do any work until then - just to be safe.

Grabovski has no chemistry with anyone, puck hog, glad hes gone, Calgary should scoop him up for like 3 mill

so Toronto Maple Leafs are now a budget team like Ottawa.

Even if he rebounds? Where does he play? 1c or 4 c? We would have nonis' head if we went into the season with

Grabo
Kadri
Bolland
Mcclement/colbourne. Assuming mcc plays a lot of wing and pk

That's pretty soft

Dave Nonis = Mickey Mouse

Buy out Grabo after Carlyle pretty much benches him to the 3rd line for 40 out of 48 games??? WTF?

Leafs = Joke

Sign Bozak and we will be lucky to finish 10th in the division.

Gonna be a sad year...

I smell a trade...

Joe Thornton?
Paul Stastny?

Please Nonis, don't blow this money on Bozak...
- Hockey_Reverend

Don't forget, teams can talk to UFAs since yesterday.

Very possible.

But Bozak is still unsigned and now Grabovski is gone.

That's 2 big holes to fill right there.

If anything, for once, this UFA day promises to be pretty interesting!
- Pecafan Fan

Yeah, drastic changes in TO but I think it's necessary to compete against the best teams. They need more size at center.

Is Bozak's price coming to a strong reality?
- Feeling Glucky?

I'm hoping it's #1.

My line on his demands is that it's meeting supply and demand reality.

There's an overall drop in the cap for every team.

There's a lot of free agent centremen available, and Grabs only adds to that list. So there's really not a lot Bozak can demand.

Because he's not very good.

We will never win with him.

Not really at all.

“@TOTruculent: If Nonis isn't clearing the deck for the immediate add of an amazing, super-expensive 1C, I can't begin to guess how they justify this.”




“@jonasTSN1050: Grabovski had 52 goals and 109 points in two seasons prior to 2013. Bozak had 33 and 79. Hard to argue Grabovski isn't the better player.”
- burn

Get ready for more Boston poop. They ship out Seguin for picks and prospects, sign Grabbo for 2nd line. Bergeron 3rd line, as they pretty much role 4 lines. Grabbo will do very well in Boston, with his cycle ability and never say die attitude

Oh Feaster will be all over this like himself at a buffet

GENIUS!!

It's gotta be 1 of 2 things.

1. They have a replacement that's better than Grabo; or
2. If it is Blowzak he's coming at a price that lets them save enough cap space to be able to go spend on some other parts.

How the (frank) do they get rid of the bad dman with 3 names!!!
- The Law

So it's gotta be #2.

Because Nonis isn't stupid enough to go with Bozak at an inflated price. He just can't be.

As for your final point, it is a fact that there are no players in the Hockey Hall of Fame with hyphenated names.

Think about it.

Congrats to Kadri, you've arrived in the NHL, your now going to be our permanent #1 or #2 center. It's Kadri;s progess that has made Bozak & Grabbo less important to the Leafs. Thank u Kadri!!! Congrats!!!

I smell a trade...

Joe Thornton?
Paul Stastny?

Please Nonis, don't blow this money on Bozak...
- Hockey_Reverend

Joe's coming home??

Briere 2 year deal 9 - 10 mill?

I dont think he would have gotten rid of grabo unless he had something else on the burners... i just hope its not bozak for more than 4 per for 4

Easy tiger.

There's still a lot of questions to be answered. It's not like Grabs' presence was essential to us making the playoffs. Plus I really think Colborne's ready to become a full-time NHLer
