- Dozzer

Stop with that. What is arrogant about defending my point. (frank) read the comments back. I don't whine about it. We are talking hockey with opinions.

u guys are loving this trade arent ya

Seguin, benn, eakin = quite the studly young forward core.

If faksa and nichushkin live up to potential.. What a group.

Not to mention, Campbell, and Oleksiak.

(frank) the bruins i hate that they keep improving. cant chara just retire already?

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.
- joel878

As of Monday they don't. Nothing can be announced re bozak leafs deal if there is one till Friday at noon. He became a UFA on Monday and as such cannot sign a deal with anyone till noon July 5

Am I missing something here?

It just seems like a bunch of meh traded for a handful of what'evs.

Sorry, but this is officially giving up on Seguin.

Or at least admitting that his contract is way out of whack with what you think he will produce.
- Atomic Wedgie

Seguin's a sexy young piece on his rookie deal .....at 5.75 he quickly looks like Phyllis Diller

Grabovski is a great fit for 2c. Bozak at best is a 2c at BEST. Our 3c is Bolland no doubt.

Bozak or his agent have astronomically over-valued him as a player and its complete bullpoop that he thinks he is worth more than 3.

A player needs to come in now that is better than Grabo, and that player isn't Bozak.
- markmark

If they can land a better center then Bozak and Grabovski I'm all for it. But if not Bozak has more value then Grabovski to the Leaf lineup.

Why do you think this was the case? If Grabovski worked with Kessel why would this not have been permanent?
- honesthockey

Why did Mogilny never get a regular spot with Sundin? Why did Hoglund get that gig? Did you ever think that it wasn't that Bozak was the better centre, but rather to balance the scoring?

As of Monday they don't. Nothing can be announced re bozak leafs deal if there is one till Friday at noon. He became a UFA on Monday and as such cannot sign a deal with anyone till noon July 5

just wanna update everyone on my vow not to do any work today... 35 minutes from home time and haven't done a stitch of work

Stop with that. What is arrogant about defending my point. (frank) read the comments back. I don't whine about it. We are talking hockey with opinions.
- honesthockey

you are using emoticons in a mocking fashion

stop it or you will be banned.

most of your posts are fine.. whether i agree or not.. its when you start in with this i'm better than the rest of you attitude that i start to get annoyed

(frank) the bruins i hate that they keep improving. cant chara just retire already?
- MetroidPrime

This is a step back for them. The Stars won this trade hands down.

- ThePresident

I think the bruins won this trade... not sure why people are saying otherwise... wasn't seguin only projected to do what erikssons already doing? and morrow is supposed to be a stud... peverly hurts now but hes replaceable since the market is flooded with 3rd line centre men now

Well Free Agent frenzy just got a whole lot better on TSN

Since I won't be on set for Free Agency Day, let me repeat from London what I say every year: most teams will deeply regret what they do.

- honesthockey

i think he only has more value if the contract/cap hit is reasonable. if they bring him back at 4mil then its fine but if they have to pay him what they paid grabo then its too much and were back in the same situation

This is a step back for them. The Stars won this trade hands down.
- ThePresident

disagree

Yep Grabovski and Kessel were great together.
- honesthockey

Kessel scored at a higher rate without Bozak as his centre. You've already been shown that.

- ThePresident

What more do you want? They get the best player and better contract and the 2 best prospects in the deal.

well i think before this, it was definitely debatable

I know seguin hasn't performed, especially after the contract, but watching him play, you know the guy is oozing raw talent
- Nastradamus

I feel like the way kessels playmaking has picked up makes him one of the better offensive players in the league .... And his d- fence has gotten better ( not saying much)

Pretty sure that's wrong as there have been about a dozen signings in the league since July 1...didn't Montoya re-up with the Jets today?

no.

- Atomic Wedgie

Doesn't make sense.

29 goals, 67 points as a second year forward at the age of 19. Exact sane production as Tavares at that age.

People are dumping on him for this season, when he would have been on pace for more goals, and roughly the same points.

Is it his playoffs? Cause if it is, sign me up for Jonathan toews.

I realize hating seguin is the cool thing to do in Toronto, but in zero reality is he a 'meh' player.

Improving? They'll start the year without Horton, Seguin, Peverley and Jagr. They're much worse, IMO.
