Leafs GM Dave Nonis survives MLSE purge and looks forward

[tooncesmeow]

Absolutely, we went from team USA to team Canada. I can't remember the last time we had this many Canadians on the team, probably the 70's. I bet we'd have to go back to the 60's to find this many players from the GTA.

And yet this team had its best years of the new millenium being led by a Swede and a Russian hahaha.

Seriously does anyone actually care about this? I'd take Backstrom in a heartbeat over Bozak.

You're right about this, but it's not something to be proud of. Nonis is a *****. He shys away from the big moves and instead goes for little moves that he hopes to pay off. This is exemplified by the fact that he thinks Tyler Bozak will be a 1C for 5 years.

As would I. He's only 25, and looking to be a steal with a 6.7 m cap hit.

And I'd take Stamkos over Backstrom in a heartbeat. ...

Or an exceptable number 2 in years 3 to 5, if not sooner. 4.2 for a pretty good 2nd line center will seem pretty reasonable when the cap is over 70 million

Bozak's cap hit comparables

I'd actually argue that the only real comparables are contracts signed under the current CBA but others may disagree.

I take Bozak over Weiss, Riberio and Grabo
