IF Tyler Bozak comes to Ottawa

Well, that's that I guess.

Well there's still that Gilbert kid Heater was talking about. He's one of the Hobey Baker finalists too.

First I had to come in to my Dung job to deal with my Dung boss, now this.

Only Winchester isn't a bust. He's at least as good as Kelly and Neil. Bozak is a different player and the crappier the team, the better he'll look. Obviously the kid wanted to sign where he would look good, he doesn't care about winning.

well okay I should rephrase to be fair to winchester, I think Murray had him touted for a more offensive role, he fits well on the 4th line or possibly even the 3rd. if Bozak doesn't want to win, well, he hit the right spot then, Leafs still have a few garbage years left in them.

I suspect Bozak saw this as an opportunity to get a lot of minutes. He probably wouldn't have gotten as many minutes in Ottawa.

that was probably the determining factor, I agree clutch, we already have a set top two lines here, some may argue that, but we do. mind you if Bozak screws up or does not meet expectations, he will be roasted, he could have come here to Ottawa, silenty did his thing and able to play with little pressure, in Toronto, they will expect him to do it all as he is their only top 6 forward (possibly)

Very good call Clutch, you're probably absolutely right about that. He'll get 2nd line minutes in T.O. He would've had 3rd or 4th line minutes here...if that.

Dammit!!! The word is this kid is far better than Winchester.

Not only that he's likely going to get first unit PP time as well.

Sorry got to disagree with you on this. Even thought its not Toronto media, players get there's in Ottawa. There is no hiding in the Valley.

What about that Gilroy kid? Do you think Murray goes after him and snags him?

I suspect he would have been a good replacement for Kelly on the PK. Oh well. Who else is out there.

I can't wait, because in a couple of season's Wiercioch is going to be manning our blue line, and he's going to paste Bozak as he tries to come down the middle. It'll be sweet! And that's when i will yell, "maybe you should have come to Ottawa instead!" I'm going to bide my time...

And in case you are wondering, yes, I am that petty.
