JVR and Bozak are free agents coming up. What term and money would your team offer? Any chance a team signs both?
I wish they'd sign for that much.6X6 for JVR. 3X4 for Bozak.

Term is fine, it’s aav that’s gonna matter. If you go 8 years and can bring the aav down under 5ish you can give him his 6m over 5 years, if he becomes an issue on the cap you sell him off to a floor team when the contract drops off with a mid round pick or b spect. What’s important is keeping what makes TML dangerous and that’s team scoring. Guys got 31 playing barely 15 mins a nightIf JVR stays in Toronto it's gotta be like 5.5 x 5. If he wants max term I don't think it's in Toronto.
Less interested in what Toronto would pay and more interested in finding out if other teams would lock either of these guys up.
Seems like JVR would absolutely Garner some interest but I wonder at what cost would teams do it.
Bozak would be ideal for a team that needs center scoring but again what kind of term and dollar amount would you offer? Wouldn't Montreal outbid other teams just based on need?
It could be done. It would mean Lou would be sacrificing others to do it though.The thing is, JVR can't sign for that much in Toronto, especially with Matthews and Nylander re-signing.

It would mean sacrificing some serious depth. Which makes the team worse off. That is the Leafs strength after all. The Leafs can survive without him and that's likely the plan. Kapanen is a solid replacement.If that can be done, that's really good news for the Leafs.

I liked Sosh but he's a third liner at best and the Leafs are loaded on the wings on the NHL roster and the farm. He was never realistically going to get minutes here once he went out with a concussion. Kapanen and Johnsson are much more dangerous offensively as are a few other prospects.I honestly thought Soshnikov would take his spot, but he, unfortunately, got traded to New York.
That money (and more) is there if the Leafs can trade Marleau and Martin before their final year.The thing is, JVR can't sign for that much in Toronto, especially with Matthews and Nylander re-signing.

It would be one year left on the deal by the time he needs to be traded, and he's only owed 1.25M in actual salary after July 1st. There's no way the Leafs have difficulty finding a team willing to take him on, but the hard part could be getting him to waive his NMC. Or it could be very easy, no one knows.Who would take an old player's contract with two years left on his deal? I'm not so sure if they can trade Marleau.

Unfortunately, not. Since he's on a 35+ contract, his cap hit stays even if he retires.Or he can just retire. Ah, that makes things easier.

6X6 for JVR. 3X4 for Bozak.
You think Bozak is taking a pay cut? don't bet on it, A LOT of teams need centers, yours included somebody is going to overpay him, I personally hope it's Montreal
Why do you hope Montreal to overpay for him?
