Leaf Rumours

The Marlies could have seriously used him a month and a half ago. Fantastic AHL player, but obviously not NHL material. Nonetheless, this is a great move for the Marlies.

Have to wonder if it spells the end of Zigomanis down there though.

It's possible Burke's tired of hearing about Superma---I mean, Mike Zigomanis on coach's corner every week and Aucoin is his replacement. What I'm hoping is that they're signing Aucoin because they're expecting that Kadri won't be a Marlie this coming season.

11/12:
Bozak: 73 gms, 18 gls, 47 pts (82 gms, 20 gls, 53 pts)
Bolland: 76 gms, 19 gls, 37 pts (82 gms, 21 gls, 40 pts)

He doesn't look at stuff like that..He just knows Bolland is better because he's an expert at knowing who sucks and who is good.

Bolland > bozak is correct imo

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Bolland is a top shut down center who chips in on the offensive end

Bozak is 13 points better playing with elite talent and is a defensive cone of failure

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Bolland is horrifically overrated for some reason.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

FWIW i would take what Andrew Shaw brings to my team over what Tyler Bozak brings.

 

[Wayward DP]

I dunno you'll have a tough time convincing me Tyler Bozak is a better hockey player than Dave Bolland.

Bozak is pretty much entirely one dimensionsal and really isn't even that good at that one dimension, not to mention how atrocious he is defensively.

 

[Habsy]

I'd take Bolland over Bozak as well.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I'd take Bolland over Bozak as well.

It really isnt close.

 

[Habsy]

I'd want neither as my second line center though. I'd stick with Plekanec and Desharnais over Bolland. He's a solid 3rd line and special teams player.

I'd agree with this...which is why i think Bozak is so useless...i wouldnt want him as my 2nd line C, and he is incpable of playing the role fo a 3rd line C....

 

[BG]

Without looking up the numbers, I seem to recall that Bolland was expected to step into a 2nd line offensive role (ala Ryan Kesler), and failed miserably. So while Bolland may be the better "all-around" player, Bozak would be a better offensive centreman.

 

[leafman101]

Bozak is better offensively, Bolland is better defensively. It all comes out in the wash.

Bolland is an injury prone mofo. The one year he played a full season his stats were similar to Bozak's.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

No...because the gap isnt as big offesnivly (if at all) as it is defensively...huge


Again...i'd like to see what Bolland could do between Kessel and Lupul....and i can guarantee he wouldnt make the line a minus line.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Similar offensive numbers minus better linemats...and elite shutdown C....vs a black hole

It honestly isnt close.

 

[zeke]

"elite shutdown C"

heh.

 

[Metalleaf]

Is that what they call them these days?

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

"elite shutdown C"

heh.

Yes..you guys have a good one now too...his name is Jay McClemant
