Washington needs another centre and the also have an excess of D-men, so I propose the following:

Toronto acquires: Mike Green
Washington acquires: Tyler Bozak

Obviously not straight up but as a base for a deal. This would put the Leafs over the cap, however, so I would also have the Leafs trade Cody Franson to a team who needs defence. Assuming the Leafs only got back picks/prospects for Franson, I would see the lineup looking like this:

JVR-Kadri-Kessel
Booth-Santorelli-Lupul
Komarov-Kontiola-Clarkson
Winnik-Holland-Frattin
Ex. Bodie

Phaneuf-Green
Gardiner-Robidas
Rielly-Polak
Ex. Granberg

Bernier
Reimer

Would leave the Leafs with just under 2 mill in cap space.

This makes the leafs worse.the leafs need help(quality) at center so moving the best they got doesn't make sense

Moving the best they got? I never said anything about moving Kadri. Bozak is certainly not their best centre, he's only on the top line because of the myth that he makes Kessel better or some BS like that.

Bozak's value will never be higher than it is now. Now is the time to sell. The advanced stats guys that the Leafs are hiring will be telling Nonis the same thing.

This would make the Leafs have the worst core of centers in the league. Awful

Pff As a leafs fan I'm having a hard time not calling you a butthole.bozak is good,not great by any means but moving him creates a bigger hole at number1center. I think green can bounce back some but toronto says no.might as well trade kessel and bernier too and chase mcdavid right

Bozak is not their best centre, Kadri is.

Alzner

Green is useless now, injury case. Leafs need DEFENSIVE defenseman not Offensive defenceman

8.) 21 Aug 2014
Bozak, Nilsson
for
Alzner

I wouldn't mind seeing Berglund in a Leafs jersey. Big body guy who can play at the 2C. But I don't know what we woulf give up for him.

I'm not bozaks biggest fan but he's a better all around player than kadri.id agree his value will never be higher and he's not a true 1 center but bozak is a better option on 1st line and a better player than kadri IMO

I agree with drgonzo. Bozak won more face offs in the first game than Kadri did all year. Bozak is one of their top penalty killers. Kadri is better at taking penalties and blind siding guys. If Kadri ever matures, you may have a case. I'd take Bozak.

Words like certainty and facts should be banned from this site.at least until some of you learn what they mean.

I Wouldn't be shocked if kadri figures it out someday.he has to have a big year and he will IMO but until he does bozak is the man.
