you dont have to stick with him if he doesnt pan out after a couple games geesh.

and what if he does? (frank) sakes.. this is why we wanted a proper development system.. for times like these.
- Dozzer

this is when guys step up.

simple as that...lets see who's ready to impress.

you guys arent listening.. i said try him for a couple games before making a move

(frank).. you guys make it sound like whatever route gets chosen now MUST be followed through all the way

No I agree, try it to fill within, try a couple Marlies first, ways to hide and protect their minutes, unless Nonis can flip over some rocks and find a real cheap stop gap..dont really see that happening anytime soon though

you can't waste to many games trying figure out if a player will do ok.
But a couple games, you think that a good sample size for him to stay or send back down.

Only 6 games in next 15 days, and 3 of those or completely winnable with the lineup as is. ( Nj and 2 against sabres).

I'd expect Bozak back by the 19 th against e islanders. That will be nearly a month off.

Lupul JVR Kessel
Clarkson Kadri Raymond
Kulemin McKegg Smith
Orr McClement Bodie

It aint pretty...but it could hold things off for abit...will depend a lot on if a guy like McKegg can step in and play responsible minutes or not.

Smith plays C why we even need Mckegg if JVR , Kadri, McClement and Smith are Cs?

give him a short lived shot

if he succeeds... great.. if he doesnt.. oh well.. back to the drawing board

My God, what if JVR is beast mode at C too?

My developing man crush will be in full force mode in that case!

touche.

Imagine he breaks out and becomes a legitimate top line centre? Every thing will slowly be kicking Bozak out of place

and also making that 4.2 cap hit even worse

So the sky has falling!
I betcha canuck fans are loving this right now!

The leafs could be real trouble...they better improve their defensive game asap!
I cant believe Im going to say this but...whens bozak back?

what drives me nuts LM is that if this were nashville.. or pittsburgh.. or tampa.. or calgary etc this wouldnt even be a discussion

what if he drops off the score sheet?

JVR at centre doesnt necessarily mean success

Can't hurt at all to try Mckegg, who knows he might come up here gain some confidence then go back to the AHL and take a step forward down there. Its amazing sometimes how guys struggle in the A, and then somehow do amazing in the NHL.

And whoever suggested Matthias....I wouldn't mind him at all either.

The two againts the sabres are automatic losses.....the leafs simply cannot beat a crappy sabres team.

Dildo NF?

My warehouse manager is from Dildo. She got thrown off the Island - she hates seafood, and doesn't drink.

Please take your negative agenda to the Habs thread...

We'll probably see him there a couple of shifts, might even see kessel tried for a couple of shifts. The 10-5 start gives us a couple games to explore somethings for a bit.

you guys seem so sure..

my opinion is he was moved from centre to wing before his pro career started for what is likely a very good reason

leave kadri there

that line (cept last game) is working.. dont eff with it

In Nashville, the discussion is why does Trotz not use his better players more.
