Bozak went to Denver, and spends a lot, if not all, of his offseason there. He would re-sign in a heartbeat
Bozak + Franson + Colborne. This helps the Avs with what they need. ROR is a good player, not elite. If the Leafs consider moving Gardner (which they shouldn't ) it would have to be in a package for an elite-type player.

I think Bozak and Franson is closer. Bozak's production isn't that far off of ROR's, and he's almost the same age. Franson is proving he's more than capable and has some offensive upside. Iffy on adding Colborne to the deal....maybe a guy like D'Amigo though.
All in all though, I don't think trading for ROR in any way, makes sense for the Leafs.
IF this happens it's not a move for a #1 center IMO. It's a move to acquire a long term #2
Lupul ? Kessel,
JVR ROR Kulemin
Frattin Kadri Komarov
I disagree. O'Reilly is relentless worker on the ice, a defensive forward with playmaking skills. Great fit with Kessel as his strengths are Kessels weaknesses.
What i'd actually like to see is Kulemin get moved in a package for ROR then a guy like Chris Stewart brought in.
Lupul ? Kessel,
JVR ROR Stewart
Frattin Kadri Komarov
that is a PERFECT 2nd line IMO
I'd love to keep Bozak. He'd be a fantastic third line center.
Lupul - ROR - Kessel
JVR - Kadri - Frattin
Komarov - Bozak - Kulemin
i doubt it, because it seems like he like playing with lupul more
Who would you trade to get ROR and Stewart?
A good player is a good player, simple as that. But how much pressure, if any, is there on Nonis to give the Leafs a more Canadian or even Ontarian image.
