That's true, but I'd be willing to bet a Tavares-led second line will get more icetime than a Bozak-led second line. I'm not sure what kind of icetime the 4th line got, but I doubt you could cut into their minutes all that much, so the third line will likely take a hit.

He's still going to see loads of PP time and get some good matchups. I'd lock him into 25 goals. He can also play the wing, so it's not like hes locked into the third line. Toronto's forward depth is stupid good.

Oh, for sure. Not suggesting he'll turn into a 30-point guy or anything. But everyone should expect to see his numbers drop a bit.

Weber had knee surgery. Out for 6 months. Can't see him having much left in the tank.

Good thing they got that great character in the room though instead of that Subban. One thing Ottawa and Montreal love is CHARACTER.

Drew Bannister won coach of the year in the OHL and filled the San Antonio head coach vacancy. Glad we didn't hire him, even though at the time he looked like a great candidate. I wonder how well-known his malpractice was.

Wow...what a shitty thing to do to a kid. If I had a son in hockey, no way in hell he plays for that coach/organization after something like that. You're screwing around with a persons long term health.

Character and the ability to speak French are the two things they care most about.

Amazing... What are the odds?
