Bozak doesnt hold a candle to either of these guys.

Doesn't it drive you crazy watching the entire league skate around Karlsson all year and score?

96 goals against, not counting PK time, number 1 in the entire league by a good margin. Next highest I believe is 81.

Edit - sorry, 85, Yandle.

- prock


Dear Prock,

You sir are pathetic.

Firstly, Phaneuf signed to a 7yr, $7M contract is a joke - so don't start flinging poop at the highest scoring Dman in the league. Maybe if your captain (2G, 3A and a -15 over the last 13GP) knew how to play defense, you'd be talking about playoffs rather than ragging on a player 1-year removed from major surgery. Karlsson is not Shea Weber, but Sens fan are ok with that - so piss off.

Second, Turris is great and we're all happy with him. He'll soon be 25, and needs to put on weight/muscle before being an elite #1C but there’s a good chance he gets there. Bozak, on the other hand, is 28 and is probably going to top-out at a solid #2C, even if he plays on Toronto’s top line... a great thing to accomplish in the NHL, but he's not as talented as Turris. Leafs fans are already talking about who to trade Kadri for - so that sorta settles the Kadri/Turris debate. However, I do believe Kadri is more offensively gifted but lacks consistency and defense positioning.

Third, Ryan may or may not stay - but that has more to do with our ownership situation than anything else...

To sum things up, please do your homework before trying to troll... and eat poop in the meantime.

Forever yours,
Karl

I don't know about all that.

Bergeron and Krecji are elite 200 foot players. Bozak may not be "elite", but he is a damn good hockey player; an under-rated one at that.

Tyler Seguin is currently outscoring Phil Kessel, so yes, definitely a higher price... Who, pray tell, of the players Ottawa traded will be outscoring Bobby Ryan in the near future?

Well, in about a years time they will all be contributing equal or more production to the ducks.

Bozak is better than Turris, end of story.

And I have no problem commenting in the highest scored against dman in the NHL (by a wide margin).

i love how sens fans always try to take the easy way out and compare kadri and turris.

why not be logical and compare players drafted in the same year?

jvr >>>>>>>>>> turris
kadri >>>>>>>>>> cowen

With this year aside. Looking back at the Sedins, I am pretty confident in spreading the rumor that ALL teams would like to add them to their roster. I think that is like saying the Rangers would like Crosby and Ovechkin.

I don't know about the rest but I think Phaneuf is worth 7 million dollars over 7 years. Anything over a million a year and I would pass.

Have to agree. It is tough to compare anyone in the same draft class and call that apples or oranges. Players enter the league at different times, develop at different speeds. Take John Leclair as an old example. He was a nobody till half way through his career. Roloson also didn't do anything until he was 38. He could have won the Oilers the cup if he didn't get injured. Take Hodgeson and Eberle for example. They are the same year but Hodgeson got injured and started his career late. Eberle has been a feature on Team Canada. Hodgeson might be great in the future. Same draft year but apples and oranges after that. Maybe due to injury, or team they are on.

Not sure what is more absurd.. that u think the Islanders are looking at the Sedins or the comments that they will be trading Tavares. None of this remotely makes sense to anyone who know ANYTHING about the Islanders.

Are they having trouble scoring? no
Do they need forwards ? no
does this address ANY need for the Islanders? no.

Islanders may make a trade.. but I doubt it. they will have over 17 million to spend to REACH the cap floor this summer. They NEED a top goalie and a Top Pairing Defenseman. They may Sign a forward UFA.. but ZERO shot they will trade for one.. .and less than Zero they trade JT.

I'm a firefighter and we used to have an annual hockey game against the cops to raise money for charities.

The game had to be cancelled because it got out of hand. Not to this extent but it was very chippy and there was getting to be way to many cheapshots and guys getting hurt.

It was funny though, during the interview process for the FD, one of the questions was, "do you play hockey, and what level did you play at?"
