Unless it's for a top 4/2 d-man.
- Atomic Wedgie

Agreed. Need a 25-30 year old proven stop gap defenseman, with a little grit. Don't need another offensive defenseman.

my leafs do not include bozak.

he's gonzo.

babs' stealth demotion with marner to the 4th was really bozak's demotion. his ice time has been cut by 2 mins a game since that move.


just a matter of time before he's sent packing.

What I see as well

Forget about your playoff depth after 7 games.


Just worry about planning that parade

babs - 'don't read into the demotion' was really don't dig to deep because you'll see it's bozak i'm demoting.

....Marner.

Oh ya, him too! So hard to keep track of all the talent.

“Their line wasn’t going, so tie goes to the veterans,” Babcock said. “(Marner) just happens to be the kid on the line, that’s it. Let’s not read too much into that. You have to have all your units going and we’re trying to do that. It was a big win in Montreal (Saturday’s 4-3 overtime decision), but saying that, we didn’t generate a lot and they did.

seems pretty clear reading it now and seeing the results.

ITs pretty telling when "the vets" are consistently the weakest players on the line

Leafs started the season at +1400 to win the Cup, the line has moved to +900 now, tied with Tampa as the favourites.

Pittsburgh are still the team to beat in the East as long as Crosby is around.
Columbus are big and skilled and would be very tough to beat in a 7 game series.
Tampa are very good with Stamkos healthy.
Washington still have a great core.
So despite what the odds say the Leafs, if they make the playoffs, could be a first round loser.
Tough league.

holy crap i totally forgot we pay zaitsev 4.5 million a year for the next 7 years

That's going to turn out to be an awesome contract for us...

I think it's already a pretty awesome contract. It's going to be silly in a couple of years

washington is not the same team they were last year.

finishing in the top 4 should be a big advantage this playoffs, likely avoiding cbus, tb and pitts in the 1st round.

Some on here were hoping for the leafs to sign him, so glad they make the smart move to aviod.

Hainsey playing very well so far as well, big upgrade on hunsuck

Yeah Hainsey looks like he could have been a meth cook in another life. I take that as an indication that he's probably pretty good at hockey in the end.

I'm not yet convinced this is a bad thing.

Hell, with 3 points he's actually our 2nd best scorer!
