That line up...w/o Bozie and JVR and no additions of their level...depresses me.
- Woderwick


You sure that's not PTSD from years past when we had sh1t for prospects?

Not so sure it bugs me too much....not so much JVR or Koma for me but as odd as it sounds losing Bozie bugs me the most. Center depth is key for me.

Not sure Shattenkirk would have helped them. His play was pretty poor last spring.
- BetterCallSaul

I dunno....Leafs have to be careful - as much as we like to rag on Bozie and JVR...they're a pretty big part of who the Leafs are. That depth is not easily replaced.

That being said, I trust Lou...got no choice really.

I disagree, but like you said, neither of us have a choice but to wait and see what Lou does.

I don't see a 30 goal scorer waiting in the wings, and Bozie has some pretty specialized talents that can help a team win.

I'm all for a trade but not at the sacrifice of this season or playoff run.

If Reilly was a righty - he would have blasted that.

If they can't re-sign JvR to a good contract (5.5~6mil /4yrs), I'd trade him.
Bozak, I'd keep and try to re-sign him.

Thought the same thing.

As for Bozak I think he would be more easily replaced than JVR, I don't think he offers much more than filling a centre roster space.

There might not be a prospect that can tap in 30 goals like JVR, but I think they have the prospects to replace his offence by committee.

He's duct taped himself to the roof of LCA threatening to jump if he isn't traded to Tampa.

JVRis getting 7 all day and 7 years on the open market, you think he'll leave that much on the table for the leafs?

Thank goodness the choice is in someones else's hands. Couldn't take the stress. Center depth on the Marlies at the NHL level is pretty much non existent, and I don't think Marleau wants to play center.

Just tuned in. Sounds like refs botched the call on the Hyman non goal because of Leafs having possession. Got the rules wrong
