It's from Eklund...so...you know...grain of salt and all.http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/B ... pm/1/70516
Just a quick note as I just got off the phone with a very trusted source he tells me that there is a "better than most people think" market for Tyler Bozak and that the Toronto Maple Leafs are likely to make a move soon.
Since the Draft the asking price has been higher than most wanted to pay. However, with the amount of valuable players still available dwindling, and Mike Santorelli going to Anaheim, both the St. Louis Blues and the New Jersey Devils are talking to Toronto about Bozak.
On Curtis Glencross...
Reports are he is getting a tryout with the Colorado Avalanche. That would be a great fit and could really help bring some needed grit missing since the loss of Stastny.
Bozak's cap hit is $4.2 million and is under contract through '17-'18.
Not sure what happened to his +/- last year...but it was an atrocious -34. And in 378 career games played, he is a -73. Yikes. Now, granted, he has played on some bad Toronto teams...but still.
He has 1 goal and 1 assist in 5 career playoff games.
I'd trade Berglund and a pick for him in a second. We'd have to take on $500k in salary in that scenario, which is almost half of the cap space we have left.
Another option on the PP would be nice. In comparison to Berglund...Bozak had 12 ppg's and 2 shg's last year, Berglund had 0 ppg's and 0 shg's.
