Shocking how when your role changes from being on the attacking line to a defensive line your point totals drop.

Do you honestly think Bozak's going to have a 20 point season this year?

yes.. i do.

he is not a good player

fantasy live for those interested.

make sure you have your teams all set for HBSL as well!

If you put the O/U at 30, I'd put $20 on under.

what? at seasons end?

gotta ask.. whats your main knock on turris?

he hasnt missed a game in 3 seasons and he's basically a 0.75PPG C

in todays NHL, that isnt bad at all.

He is a Senator

I'd go over, though it does depend on how much ice time Babcock gives the top unit over the 2nd.

yea... we can make a bet thread to keep track of the bets around here

Kings, Richards working on settlement

Mirtle just tweeted the Leafs pre-season possession numbers
and zone starts

Leafs are going to win the corsi cup and score 17 goals all season

Bozak can't crack 50 points playing a whole season 1st line/PP1 with Kessel on his wing.

I think Turris is overrated, but he's still a hell of a lot better than Bozak.

Bozie racked up 29 ES pts last year centering Kessel and JVR. That lands him in a tie for 60th amongst centres tied with other top liners such as Mathieu Perrault and Mike "the throw-in" Santorelli.

*Also 2 pts behind Kadri who played fewer games and had the privilege of lining up with Richard "don't waive me again" Panik.

I'm in no way saying Bozak is a top line center.

I'm just saying Turris isn't either.

Unless you think one 22 year old has maxed their upside and fit in well as a 6/7 defenseman and the other 2 22 years old will benefit more by growing with tons of ice time and responsibility in the AHL

People are to caught up in this Detroit model, it will not work for a very long time here because there is no older core to bring them along that will be here in the long haul. People got to get it out of their heads, it ain't happening with this group. It will take 8 years just to build a core that you can start to keep players in the minors for years. I will be proven right, you will see.

Then what are you arguing? Nobody said Turris is a legit #1. Just that he's much better than Bozak.

Also, prior to last season, Bozak finished with 39 ESP... 2 behind Turris... in 58 games.


It's almost as if switching from a run and gun to turtle and turtle might have had a negative impact on his scoring.

Turris to Kadri is probably a closer comparison. And it's going to be a poop year and I'm actually interested to see how some guys perform without Kessel. Maybe a simple possession game with help some of these guys.

I'm arguing that.

Especially the "much" part.


I can settle on "marginally", with the added stipulation that "both suck".

So they have figured out a system that doesnt work was easy..Hockey players...

You'll be proven right when a guy like Nylander finally gets his shot and shows he belongs? How are you going to prove that he would have done that without the extra time in the AHL, or that would have been better for the team and their rebuild?
