BU goaltender Matthew O'Connor is the big name this year.
Toronto boy as well. Oilers, Leafs, and a bunch of other teams looking at him.
Is he good enough to start the Bernier rumors over?

I think all things considered Bozak turned out pretty damn well for the Leafs. The mere fact that he's been miscast as a first line centre tells you he's a solid NHLer.
Also, Scrivens was a main piece in acquiring Bernier.
Despite me hating Bozak being on this team, he was still a VERY GOOD pick-up and definitely a NHL caliber player (just not a first line center type). He'd be great as a 3rd line center.
this if he was moved to a third line role with him being a good faceoff guy, it would allow him to focus more on defense and be a better defensive player, while only needing to chip in offensively here and there, something he's capable of.
Here's the problem with this and I'm not saying I dusageree with you about him being on the 3rd line but- Who replaces him on the top? Kadri has shown he doesnt click with Kessel and he's horrid on faceoffs, Nylander is only 19 and nowhere near ready for that role, Holland is a 3C at best down the road a 2C.... so who replaces Bozak on the top lin
Hey that Tyler Johnson was a terrible signing too, eh? He wasn't drafted so he must be crap! Theres just no way an undrafted free agent could become a useful NHL piece!! I don't care if he's from the WHL, he still applies.
enough of these college free agents. they are all trash and a waste of a contract spot.
burke only used them to take the attention away from the lack of firsts we had.
Funny thing is people bought it. He said something about the player he brought in was the equal of 3 first rounders, or something like that.
Danny Dekeyser was pretty good...

Why would we not take a chance? We're not suffering because of Bozak, we're suffering because he is miscast.
This team is hardly in a position to ignore any chance at getting better.
Bozak, Scrivens and Monster are all NHL players. Of the 7-10 Burke got as free wallets, 3 have worked out decently at least. That's not a bad ratio.
Nothing wrong with using all avenues to get players though. Every once in awhile you find a diamond in the rough.
That's a better ratio than our draft picks.
Some serious face palming going on here that people can't even admit Bozak is a tradable NHL asset.
Also a reminder, Martin St. Louis was an undrafted college player.
Jack Eichel? Jonathon Toews?
Bozak has had a successful career, considering the guy never was drafted yet not only made it tot he big leagues but has stuck on the top line with elite players is incredible.
Adam Oates, Curtis Joseph, Mike Jhonson
So many good players were undrafted in the past
I'll take a free wallet over some of the fools we have in our organizatoin like Ross and Biggs. Their time has come and gone
Yea! I love free wallets! Just look at how great all of Burke's "free wallets" turned out!
That is how you build a winner...with players nobody else could be bothered drafting.
