Leaf Rumours

IMO, Getzlaf is significantly more valuable than Perry. So, maybe he gets that one the open market, but I wouldn't be willing to see the Leafs pay it.
 
Interesting.

So, who here would throw $8.25M per season for eight years at Cory Perry? Or Phil Kessel, for that matter?
 
Well, I think it was always a pipe-dream to acquire a current #1 center from another team. They aren't like goalies or defencemen in which GMs can undervalue things they bring. In fact, they probably overvalue the #1 center role. Who was the last one available via free-agency? Brad Richards? Meh, not sure he's really a #1.

We have Kadri, which makes a big difference. Let's hope he can stay the PPG center he looks like now.

Betting #Leafs pending UFA Tyler Bozak gets $ somewhere between Getzlaf ($8.25m) and Grabovski ($5.5m).

What the hell...
 
J Van Riemsdyk (4.25) - N Kadri (4.5?) - C Perry (8.0)
J Lupul (5.25) - M Grabovski (5.5) - P Kessel (5.4)
M Frattin (0.95) - XXXX (2.5?) - N Kulemin (2.8)
L Komarov (1.5?) - J McClement (1.5) - C Orr (1.0)

D Phaneuf (6.5) J Gardiner (1.1)
M Rielly (1.7) C Gunnarsson (3.5?)
C Franson (3.5?) M Fraser (1.0?)

J Reimer (1.8)
B Scrivens (0.6)

Bozak is going to get a stupid contract. Been saying it for awhile. Centers are scarce commodities, and Bozak has the appearence of a pretty good one (even though he isn't).
 
And yeah I'd sign Perry to a max deal without thinking twice. He is a beast, and fits into exactly what Burke/Nonis and Carlyle are trying to do here.

love Gunner but looking at this we can afford to move him and play kostka or Holzer in that slot.

He should fetch a decent return in a trade.
 
Bozak will fetch quite a bit of $$ in the market and Nonis would be smart to ship him out before the trade deadline, because I don't see Bozak developing beyond what he's already done.

I gave up on Colborne but yesterday I read he never fully recovered from his wrist surgery early this season, until by ~ new year. He says his wrist feels 100% now and he's been on a roll for the past month. Maybe he can slide into the #3 C spot next season, leaving Kadri to take the #1 C, and Grabs to take #2 / checking center job.
 
Options are limited for a 3C through free agency so unless we go the trade route we will have to look from within
 
Bozak has never scored 20gls or 50pts. He is never going to get $6+ mil as a free agent. that's assinine.

we're talking 3-4 mil for Bozak.
