Good blog Lucas.

You could've added some love for Trevor Moore....that kid came out of no where and stood out in the first two games.

What are your thoughts on him?

.....I think he's a real dark horse.

And the race to 600 comments is on. Trevor Moore could very well be the next bozak!

I actually forgot the leafs signed him. If this was 2008, and we didn't have the number of prospects we do now, we'd probably be hearing a lot more about Moore.

If he turns out like Bozak, the Leafs did good. I know I slag on him, as do others, but he's a pretty solid 40 point guy. For someone who's undrafted, that's solid production. That said, we don't really need him anymore.

thanks eye!

Hey hey,
I wrote about him on Friday, said to keep an eye out! So I didn't want to pump his tires too much, but one hell of a game for the NCAA stand out, 44 points in 40 games for Denver.

Looks like it may translate to the pro's, we can only hope he continues to impress!

bozak 2.0

hahaha my thoughts exactly!!

snagging a 40+ point player undrafted is huge, the truth is, Bozak was one of Burke's best moves...

I am not a big Bozak-hater, but there is a question of whether he would have the same production on a good team, where he was a #3C (at best), where he belongs.

And it could still net the Leafs a nice prospect.

He's a no3 center now, so we'll see.

Remember last season when he was supposed to fall flat on his face without Kessel? And then didn't look bad at all till he got hurt? He's one of those guys that no matter who he plays with, he'll score points at a 0.60 ppg pace. He's nothing special, but he'd probably have the same production there.

Edit: He was playing second line minutes last season.

He was playing second to third line minutes last season.

If he has that production there and the other 2 centers have better production this could be a short rebuild.

I have been hard on Bozie over the years, but he seems to chip in. He's one of those players who doesn't rub me the wrong way, nor do I look forward to his play.

he just gets the job done, most of it...I wont be sad to see him go, but he's def. better than most of us have given credit for over the years.

I see his production dropping to a 0.50 ppg (40 points) if he's on the third line. Kadri will probably be around 0.65 ppg (53 points) and Mathews will probably be 0.65 ppg as well (53 points).
