Actually, Bozak played his career hockey between his return from injury and the all-star break last season but alas, you just had the sinking feeling it wouldn't last. It did serve notice, however, what a deadly line could be formed by finding a productive center to stick between Kessel and JVR.

My whole point from last off-season was that they could have kept KGM together as a 3rd scoring line, even resigning Bozak, find a second line winger a al Mason Raymond, gone to work getting some desperately needed veteran d help, like they have chosen to do this off-season and play your Carter Ashton checking types on the 4th line. But Randy and puppet had better ideas and how did that all work out?

So now, we've discarded 3 very effective forwards on a team with marginal talent to begin with and when they excel on their new teams, especially CMac, people will be here to explain how advanced stats show they're not all that good and we need more Clarksons.

Kinda funny how all of a sudden Grabo and Kuli are considered beefing up when they aren't Leafs.

Nobody on a team that spends well below the cap is really "overpaid." Not as far as that team's management is concerned, anyway. Which is what matters.

Depends on why the team is under the cap. If they struggle to attract players then overpaying is a must and not a concern for them, but if they're on an internal budget it is just as costly as a cap-team overpaying, maybe more so because they don't have as much room for error.

It's not possible to have less room for error than a team trying to spending to the cap.

Before the Islanders signed Grabovski and Kulemin they were actually below the cap floor by about a million and a half. A cap floor that is supposed to go up over the life of those contracts.

There's more opportunity for you to cover that bad deal. With $18 million between the cap floor and the cap ceiling, I see more potential to recover from a bad deal if you're able to spend more.

[TheKule]

Gotta be a good feeling, being reunited with your best friend, on fairly lengthy contracts at that.

 

[Duke Silver]

Kulemin is listed at 225 pounds. If he beefed up anymore he'd be a cow.

NYI and Toronto only finished 5 points apart last year 79 to 84 points.

Kulemin and Grabovski are going to highly motivated to push Isles past the Leafs and they have good chemistry together.

They are likely to get 2nd line minutes and more TOI/g then they received as Leafs in their final years. In 2010-11 Grabs and Kully finished 3rd and 4th in Leaf scoring.

clearly grabo still loves the leafs. its a shame it never worked out here, he wouldve been a decent deal at 5.5 in today's cap era. strong corsi and great backchecker

We had him for 5yrs at $5m even, and bought him out.
His wife and children are Torontonians.

No, the poster you quoted was correct, 5.5 million per was his cap hit.

 

[Sonofamitch]

Lol I wonder if Nonis and Carlyle will do it now? It's for a good cause so hopefully they do!
