Gretzky to Lemieux Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Toronto isn't even trying to hide the fact that they're going through a full rebuild and are willing to trade almost anyone. We need a legit second line in order to make a bigger push for the playoffs and I think trading for 2 of these guys will be great (if the price is right of course). If we HAD to make a decision on Kadri or Bozak, who would you choose? Bozak is more experienced and has more points on the season, but Kadri is 4 years younger and has a cap hit of only 2.9 mill a year (compared to 4.2 for Bozak). We would obviously need to clear some cap space if we want 2 of these guys, so who would you trade over to Toronto? If there's no way we could clear enough cap to get them, what if we go for just 1 guy instead? Who would that be? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Maple Leafs would want for each Bozak - 1st and Top prospect + cap dump Kadri - 1st Top Prospect + 3rd liner JVR -1st,2nd and a top 6 forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I see Kadri and JVR as the least likely to be moved. Kadri will likely sign a deal in the 5mil range this year. He is definitely someone they should keep. He draws penalties (last I checked he was 1st in the league), should score around 50 points with fairly mediocre line mates and has improved leaps and bounds defensively. He is definitely one of their most attractive assets. JVR is also a really nice piece. At 4.25M he should easily get you around 50-60 points. I don't know whether the Leafs truly intend on gutting their roster but both these pieces are quite valuable to hold onto. I don't expect them to give them up quite so easily. Just look at how much Kane returned despite his issues and I think both these guys are worth more than Kane. Bozak has much lower value. I don't expect him to return more than a 2nd + prospect.

Bure.10 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 We don't need kadri or bozak. We already have enough centres and still have Gaunce and mccann in the pipeline. We need to start making some room for the kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sestito Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Kadri is fantastic Bozak is worse than Bonino. I like Bonino. He faces other teams best players and is our highest scoring even strength forward. Unless we're trading for Kadri using Bonino as the main piece, no thanks. No thanks to the JVR price.

Pears Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 They'll likely build around JVR, Kadri, Rielly, and one of their goalies. He wasn't mentioned but if the price for Kessel isn't too steep and Toronto would be willing to retain $2 million of his cap hit then I'd strongly consider it.

chillie Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 how about tanev jensen markstrom/lack and higgins and a 16 2nd rounder if tanev resigns, or a 1st in 2016 if he doesn't for jvr? it seems like a lot but jvr's contract would help us and he fit very well on 2nd line.

elvis15 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 They aren't going to give up their good pieces for nothing. Looking at who they have they'll either be too expensive to go after (Rielly) or not pieces we'd really want (Kessel). These guys are in between to an extent but would still command enough in trade that I don't think it's realistic for the Canucks. Both players you mentioned are not nhl ready. Henrik Bonino Richardson Matthias Horvat Vey We have time to wait for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
