Proposal: Bozak to Arizona

[Mad Brills*]

To Toronto: Richardson, 2nd round pick

To Arizona: Bozak


Coyotes get an upgrade on Richardson, with only an extra 2 million or so for 2017-18, while the leafs get a 2nd round pick for downgrading in player.

I think the Coyotes pass. We don't need centers.

 

[Henchmen 21]

Value is about what I'd expect from Bozak, but the Leafs are in no position to trade him this summer, going into next season with Kadri-Matthews-Nylander down the middle we're setting up our blue chips to fail.

Revisit this trade in 6 months

 

[Hally BlackWood]

would rather keep bozak for now.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Bozak is a better fit. He is going to be a perfect #3C.

 

[Babcocks Marner]

Agree with most. Bozak is needed this year. A perfect #2 and later #3 when Matthews is ready.

 

[LondonKendrick]

Leafs pass, Bozka and Kadri trade 2C back and forth all season, Leafs need that cushion down the middle/competition more than a disposable 2nd round pick.

We need Bozak for now. If Matthews takes the #1 job and one of Nylander, Marner, etc lock up and become consistant in the #3 slot then I can see Bozak moved but to me this deal comes up short. Unless we get a decent prospect on top of the 2nd or a 1st there is no point giving up a good center like Bozak. Considering the rental guys fetching 1sts last deadline and the Eller & Shaw returns of two 2nds we should compromise that value.

Worse case we cannot get that return and we keep a great veteran center for another year.

Really? I easily take the deal. Get a 2nd for Bozak plus a depth roster player who can be moved at the next deadline.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Is the value that far off for people?

That's what you get told most of the time you post about Bozak.

 

[AZviaNJ]

No thanks from AZ. Richardson fits DT's system very well and we want to keep our 2nd.

 

[Hally BlackWood]

if we keep bozak for now. Play him till the deadline and then trade him. I think we would get more then a 2nd

 

[DesertDawg]

The Coyotes could use Bozak, but at RW

Richardson is our 4th line center and PKer. Bozak doesn't fill the role. I guess Vermette could, but he's far too expensive for that. This isn't a good fit.

 

[Mad Brills*]

vermette + a 3rd for bozak?

Just bring up Gaudet
Max Hanzal Duke
Mcginn Strome Doan/Bozak
Rieder Vermette Bozak/Doan
Nook Gaudet White

Bozak is a right handed shot

 

[LeafChief]

Mad Brills strikes again.

 

[DomiToDuclair]

I'd rather give the #4/3 center spot to whichever prospect has the best camp and keep the 2nd pick.

I think Toronto could probably be getting a little more. That said, considering that ARI's 2nd is probably an early one, maybe not.

However I agree with posters saying that it's probably in TOR's best interests to hang onto Bozak for now to insulate Matthews and Nylander. Give him the tough defensive assignments and just let the other two play offensive hockey. Revisit this in a year after those two have had a full season under their belts.

Just curious, is there a way to ignore threads made by someone? If not, is there a place to ask for such a function?

Not sure I'd go out of my way to do it, but it wouldn't outrage me as a Coyotes fan.

 

[Razz]

The Leafs cannot trade Bozak, far too many rookies on the team right now.

 

[WrinkledPossum]

Value seems alright to me, I had thought that the price for Bozak was just a 2nd though....

But the Coyotes have no reason to go after Bozak unless they trade Hanzal.

Right now this trade makes no sense for the Coyotes to make, Hanzal, Strome are the top 2 Cs. Bozak would compete with Vermette for the 3rd line spot. And possibly Dvorak too...
