Babcock would distribute the three lines evenly, no?
That's a lot of money for paying someone to be a 3rd liner.

Hyman Matthews Nylander

No room especially on wing. Upgrade needs to happen at center for us to move to consistent contenders.
When the Leafs make their pitch to Tavares, you honestly think they're telling him he gets to play with Brown and Johnsson?
Tavares gets one of the big 3 guaranteed.
Leafs don't need Tarvarest
They need a defenseman
Let them walk, please.
Yes let a 30+ goal scorer like JVR walk.
Real smooth. SMFH

I don't think they will let him walk for free.Yes let a 30+ goal scorer like JVR walk.

Would you prefer being Boston and trading so much futures for a worse player in Nash and letting him walk after a few weeks.Yes let a 30+ goal scorer like JVR walk.

I was looking at where Plekanec's career and salary has gone. Think I would be okay with Bozak at $4,400,000 - $3,600,000 - 2,800,000, with average cap hit of $3.6 million.
Bozak will get paid on the offseason. Not enough quality centres. Someone will give him $5M or close to it.

Their value to the team has been underestimated by many. We don't have anyone ready to fill those particular roles within the system.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I think it makes more sense to re-sign them both for a comparable cap hit to what Tavares will command. JVR and Bozak make our forward group deeper and stronger than Tavares alone would, with all due respect to him.
I see the CyNick's point though. There is a lack of quality centers available and that is an organization position we are hurting for. Really hurting. Will some team like Montreal overpay for Stastny/Bozak? Quite possible.Hopefully not by the Leafs. We need to move on from TyBo.

Remove all UFAs and we have:
Matthews
Kadri
Aaltonen
Gauthier
Better or worse?
Goodbye JVR/Plek/2nd/Bozak/whatever.
Every move or non move has a price to pay someday.
