Mike Augello: Leafs focus at Draft could be up the middle

From what I understand John Tavares plays center... he could be good.

as if he could replace TEH Bozek

Agreed, which is why JT's contract would be SOOO cap friendly...

Leafs should be looking for defense and should be a few good choices at 25.

I wasn't sure about that until I saw their division rivals making moves. They definitely have to do stuff.

But I'm scared Twisty, so scared, and scarred. Scared and scarred. Scared BECAUSE I am scarred. I think it is best that I become a Sens fan.

I'm looking forward to Dubas keeping/trading/moving down or up at the draft.

They should use this draft to get the perfect 4c.. Idk who in this years draft could be that player, but they could trade for one, McCann perhaps?

cmon Mike. I know you hate you some Bozak but in reality....Bozak is going to sign with the Leafs and he will give us a discount. He's the kind of life long Leaf that will pass up 6 years X $5mil to sign in Toronto for 4 year $4.2mil

Yeah, take the safe pick. Like that time Burke drafted Gauthier, cause you can't teach size or pugnacity or some such. He looks like he may someday be capable of competing for a 4th line center position. I sure love using a first rounder on a guy whose ceiling (if we're lucky) is 4th center.

Practically the same guy. Isn't Nonis just Burke's mini-me?
