You would honestly take Bozak and Kadri over Grabo and Kadri if those are the two options on the table?
- markmark

In a heartbeat. Come on markmark I know you don't judge a player soley based on the stat sheet.

yup, this.. bolland is the new checking line centre.. kadri is obviously centring the second line unit now

so who is the new first line guy?

i know you are a fan of bozak's character play but i sincerely hope we didnt jettison grabo for him.. that move is sideways at best
- Dozzer

I think he jumps to the first line when camp breaks. We'll see though

buying out grabo to sign bozak?

thats just a waste of money

my bet is on something else.
- Dozzer

Fingers crossed.

You know that Bozak has signed. I told you earlier in the week. Didn't make sense not to sign him.

The NHL is probably just too busy with this Seguin trade to make it official.

They are about to give 6m per to a third line guy in Clarkson with that cap space now and a division rival who just went to the Cup without Seguin being a factor just got a 70 point guy in Eriksson ...not a win for the Leafs
- broadstreet11

Speculation on the Clarkson signing, giving up on Seguin at 22 years old is horrendous on the Bruins part. It ends the Seguin/Kessel comparisons, and I think Seguin is and will grow into a better player than Erikson, so it's a win in my book.

If bozak was signed, it would be announced. Leafs own his rights... There is zero reason to wait.

Time to get over yourself. Bozak is heading to free agency.

Okey dokey

how clarkson can justify a 6m dollar signing i'll never understand... the guy is a career 25-40 pt guy

i hope toronto is not in on him

at least theres a legit hockey trade to talk about now

If Bozak comes over a million cheaper, I can see the merit in it.

If there are no great options out there at center, we may as well take the cheapest one and load up on the wings and defense.

Stock up on talent at other positions and wait to trade some of it for the center we covet.

Lets buyout Grabo and use the money to re-sign someone who's not as good!

Perfect plan if you ask me.

Clarkson likes to party hard, under Uncle Lou he was under control. He would be a handful on TO

It's not like the line didn't work

About that legit trade, I wonder if someone, say a Stars fan had posted it yesterday, how long it would be before he got ripped on here for being a moron.

Yep Grabovski and Kessel were great together.

i do think we won that kessel trade now.


I will concede that

I wonder how things would have gone down if it were posted in the Boston thread...

- honesthockey

Need I bring up Kessel's on-ice goals for and against averages while playing with Grabo again?

lol

It'll be at least a million cheaper and gives you one proven over and over again line. Now the rest? They gotta prove something.

- honesthockey

Never had a chance HH. And when he did, it produced---facts were provided, you dismissed them as being too small a sample size. Its fine you don't like what was produced, but don't go off making statements without nothing to back it up.

give me grabobski, weiss or ribeiro to play #2 C, dont care who
- Jurco_28

One of those will happen for sure.

- Nastradamus

no we have to wait to see how joe morrow turns out

Man, what a terrible trade for the Bruins....especially with their aging roster. How long until Dougie Hamilton gets traded. This will come back to bite Chiarelli in the butt.

You mean both games compared to about 600 times more for Bozak. Yep thats why either coach played them together.
