Not quite. Depends if they now overpay for Weiss or trade assets for a Stastny. Then of prefer to keep both..

So Grabovski was worth $5.5 and contributed to the teams success this year?

Found it - from Simmons' article yesterday:

Should Nonis come up with a centre — say Stephen Weiss, for example — you assume Weiss would play with Kessel and the designated left winger. That puts Kadri, who was just behind Jonathan Toews and Sidney Crosby in even strength-points scored, which isn’t to say he is a Toews or a Crosby, just that he can put up points if used in the right situation. Kadri did tie Patrick Kane in even-strength points scored, a statistic coach’s value high, in a second-line spot.

He's good. I don't care which line he ends up on, as long as Lupul is on one side of him.

Over losing him for nothing and now needing to replace him and/or Bozak? Yes he had a bad half year, but had two to three solid seasons before that.

Can I get an honest hockey opinion?

Do you really think that Tyler Bozak is a #1 centre?

Do you really think the Leafs could win a Stanley Cup with Bozak as our #1 centre?

Seriously?

- Atomic Wedgie


1. Absolutely

2. Not without Grabo at number 2C

3. No

Hey i got an idea, how about paying an older, worse version of Clarke MacArthur 6 million a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If using ridiculously small sample periods like that was the basis for determining a players worth, I guess Jonathan toews is an echl'er

no way this is the case

why would nonis wait to resign bozak after buying out grabo when he didnt need to?

keep grabo, retain the leverage til bozak's contract is inked.. then buy out grabo

if bozak doesnt have a contract yet then he is just going to ask for more now

its not going to be bozak.. its something else.

nonis is too methodical to make a gaffe like that.

- Dozzer

There was a deadline, though. Grabbo had to be placed on waivers by noon today if you want to use a compliance buyout on him.

Having said that, I don't think they are trying all that hard to re-sign Bozak.

I'm confident he will get a big contract from someone.

And I'm just as confident that GM will regret it.

remember when you traded the best goalie in the league for bo horvat.... because you coudln't trade the second best goalie in the league for a bag of pucks, and now you have a disgruntled no.1 goaltender, cap trouble, and a declining team?

In losing seasons. It's like the Stajan thing. He 2 - 50 point seasons but has played in 3 playoff games in ten years. You just don't win with some players.

Jonathon Toews is IMO the best player in the NHL. I don't read stat sheets.

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

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

- joel878


geeze yeah.

Dallas wins this trade... as soon as Seguin starts to grow up.

We all seem to quickly forget what was said about Kadri for a few years and he seemed to have turned it around a bit this season.
