Devereaux saved us from years of painful thoughts of picking b.schenn over Ekman-Larsson... How dreadful would've that been? Also we likely wouldn't have traded l.schenn for jvr had the flyers not ended up with the brothers obsession that Burke had.
Devereaux didn't cost us. It's just a term I use like being Robida'd.
Leafs finished with 81 points that year. NYI finished with 61. Tampa with 66.
Leafs weren't in last place already with only 5 points seperating them from 5th/6th.
Bozak has the potential to do much more damage in 10 remaining games that Devereaux could ever do.
Also, I have moved on from Burke/Nonis/Kessel/Phaneuf/Clarkson/Bozak/Lupul era.
Perhaps others haven't but that's fine. For me, having Bozak return seems like a step back. It just started to feel like a new era finally.
I don't like the points but it's hard to be mad at Nylander/Sosh/Carrick/Hyman scoring.
I can't cheer for Bozak winning faceoffs and scoring goals off his but.
You either understand that feeling or you don't.
