Speculation: Jvr 1v1 Bozak.

[Menzinger]

JVR has been outproducing Bozak while they were in the same situation (on a line with Kessel and then on a line with Parenteau). JVR's average P/G is being dragged down from his days in Philly when he was young and still developing his game. JVR is also several years younger, a couple inches taller, and better at driving possession. I think it's pretty clear that JVR is the better player and that he's a better fit for a rebuild due to his age. Is JVR enough better for Bozak that we shouldn't trade him? No, but that doesn't mean we should settle for a return either.

JVR is also capable of getting 30 goals. Another edge to him.

A edge to keep and pay $6,000,000 plus or a edge to trade because his value would be possibly the most coveted at the deadline. We could get possibly better players for the future at a lower cost, while continuing developing a contender.

Thete is more edge trading Jvr possibly.

I was referring more to the "who is the better player" debate.

As mentioned earlier, no issue trading him, but if management decides to keep him in also ok with that.

I think he's likely the Leafs most valuable trade chip (of the assets that management would consider actually moving). It all depends on the return.

Keep Bozak. He's worth a 2nd Max and pretty underrated. JvR seems to be worth a lot, so if a team will pay then move him but I wouldn't mind keeping him either.
