Wow I forgot Bozak got a ring. Really happy to be reminded about it he's a good dude.

Jimmy suffers from Davey’s Curse, hockey’s reverse version of the curse of the Bambino, where he will never, ever, ever win anything after jacking with hockey’s purist and most trusting soul, David Poile. It’s why Ryan Suter will never hoist the Cup.

Bozak was really good while with the Leafs too. He’s 10 times the player of Vesey.
Ryan Suter won't hoist the cup due to playing on a crappy Minnesota team. Nashville fans just sour that a player chose to excercise his rights and test FA and sign wherever they want. Can't blame the guy for signing a life altering mega contract like he did.

Yeah, problem was he was a great player when the Leafs sucked (not like that's changed though)
Bozak was always a good player. Not great, but not bad either. Reliable for what he was capable of.

The wild thing is that Leafs fans far and wide told us he was good offensively and bad defensively, but he's been good defensively since day one with the Blues and is a go-to PK guy. If anything, I think Blues fans wanted a bit more offensive pop. Funny how what a player is capable of (barring elite production) can change with circumstances.

Tyler bozak is nothing less than an amazing career return on a college free agent
You are an honest dude, so many leaf fans were crediting Dubas now he's garbage. From what I saw he was fine with the leafs just didn't get a lot of ice time.

He has 5 goals. Not much more we could have asked him to do.

2 is better than one
Does Gaudette need to be sheltered as much as he is or does Green just not like him? Often when I watch the Canucks he's noticeable in a good way and then you see he played less than 10:00 and with plugs no less.
I feel gaudette is a far batter player than any of his stats this year show. He was so snake bitten for so long. He seems to be coming out of it a bit as of late, and will see his ice time start to climb up. He is far better on the wing than at centre at this stage, and has a really good shot.
I would have no issue with him getting a look in our top 6 with Pearson out long term.
I don't think motivation was an issue. He isn't a bad player, but just not really good either. Probably a fairly capable bottom-six NHL forward.
I wouldn't have been surprised if he were traded for a low draft pick or prospect, or if he passed through waivers. He's a serviceable but marginal player, and the market is flooded with those. Every team already has them in abundance.

Not sure about that. When he was on the Leafs it was a big talking point how good he was defensively. He just payed with Kessel and JVR, two guys not so great.
