What a lot of people don't realize is that the good first line centres are good 2 ways. If you aren't good two ways and play with kessel and jvr (terrible defensively) you get eaten alive.

Absolutely.

That's why this has spun into the argument we have on hand. It all boils down to opinion.

As far as being two-players go:

Some people prefer a player that is 70% (offense) one way and 30% (defense) the other. (Grabo)
Some people prefer a 50%/50% player. (Bozak)

- markmark


I agree. But i look at team need. Do we really need more offensive or defense? Anyone who thinks that the leafs are set defensively and need more scoring....well i just don't know where to start

Realistically if we had a top line center he be a good 2nd or great 3rd line guy. I like what he brings to the team just wish he was more offensively gifted for where he plays. Also possible they move kadri up top line, slide bolland to second and use bozak third and penalty kill. They only issue is now you are paying your third 4.5 mil.
- Yeti1181


But you'd be paying your 1c 2.9M next year. When kadri's due for a raise, cap could be north of $75M.

Bolland looks like an ideal 2c. Excellent 2-way player, in a larger offensive role could put up 50+ points.

how about:
Gardiner, Bozak and a 1st for Duchene?

It would be serious fun watching Phil and Matt out there together!!

I'd go for that. Our 1st should be low. Duchene is a stud.

I don't think that's what anyone is saying...
They are saying they would rather have Grabovski over Bozak...

P.S. - I agree, Leafs probably won't win a cup with Bozak as their 1C.

- Cooshie


Oilers almost won it with Horcoff, not completely out of reach.

Well if its for Ryan Strome as a straight up trade, it is something to think about.

Something has got to give in Colorado I would think. They've got 5 centers on the roster and Stastny is on the decline but UFA after this year.

I guess they could just let him walk and run 1) Nate Mackinnon, 2) Duchene and 3) O'Reilly after this year.

Kadri should be first line centre...bozak was signed to keep Phil here (job done) now play him where he should be pk defensive situations ... When lupul and kessel are paired together it seems Phil steps his game up....gardiner is a game changer, Kadri the same

Kadri 1st line - no
Lupul loves the cock and the puck so him and Phil are better off on different lines
Bozak needs to be out there for many draws - he plays lines 1 thru 3
Gardiner needs to CHANGE his game

Hey Bozak's here to stay female doges, either suck it up or go hang out with the (frank)ing scab squad

Wtf, why do I have to sign in to HB every (frank)ing time now? It's not like it's my (frank)ing bank account.
