Greg Wyshynski: Travis Zajac to Maple Leafs trade talk grows forever louder (Puck Daddy) So if the Leafs were to acquire Zajac, it’s fine as long as they make the obvious move: Deal Tyler Bozak for him. He’s a free agent in 2018 and is scheduled to make $13.5 million through the end of the term. He has a $4.2 million cap hit. The Devils save money, pick up a shorter contract and probably get a draft pick out of it; the Leafs get rid of a middling talent whose very existence on the roster is nonsensical without Phil Kessel there, and pick up a solid two-way center and better all-around player.





I seriously think the colective media has had a stroke or are playing a practical joke on us all.

Leafs pick up term and salary and have to add a pick?

I said it before - you of all people should be rejoicing - barely a 3 c and we get back a good 2 way c - we could have a beerfest at your place for Bozaks going away party.

I heard he is into Boys

That's spelled Boyes

How did Martin Marincin show? Do you still have Teemu Hartikainens rights?
- Jeropotato

Not horrible but not good either on Marincin. Not sure about teemu

Who weirdoh?

I don't mind Bozie...won't kill us to see him for a season with Kessel.

Really? I thought the Leafs had a replacement for Kessel's output. All summer I was confident, now you go and ruin it.

Also, anybody Jays recently?

I knew the "nice" part would be just too hard

Who weirdoh?
- Fruitcakenipple

lol not you "not that is anything wrong with that"

Blue Jays

4 wins in their last 7 and they win the AL East! Maybe even over take the Royals.

I cant wait for the post season!

Bozak is zajac... But zajac cost more for more years. Why would I rejoice.

Zajac not a good 2way c.

We don't have hartikienen anymore.

I think he'd be an upgrade - easily - but not sure the contract / age and the new pressure of playing in TO would make it worth while IMO (I haven't watched him much but looking at CORSI stats and some write ups )

I meant without....pens already hosed us a little on Phil, no more trades with them

I still think it will work out to be a fair deal when all is said and done.

Kadri for Zajac (Negative Value), Larsson and a 1st

No way - Bozak or nothing

Phil and Sid have been good together so far. Phil is keeping up.

Can we send you Schneider and Severson too? Maybe Zacha while we are at it?

we probably have to wait a few years to see what becomes of Kapanen, Harrington, Spaling(3rd rd at the deadline?), and that 1st rd pick.

the pens offense is improved but their D is much weaker. I bet that pick is in the 15-20 range again.

- Garnie

We want the Penguins to make the playoffs by one point and get dusted in the first round. That gives us the best pick.

Sure.
