JVR

[Highlander]

Honestly with the tear that he's on right now and the report that the cap could be as high as $82mil next season I wouldn't be completely shocked to see his AAV go up to $7mil on a long-term deal.

The Devils could have in the neighbourhood of 30 million in cap space, no significant RFA's to re-sign and are desperately in need of some scoring.

And isn't he from there or close by? Can we send Bozo with him

JVR is from New Jersey, yes. And Bozak is a UFA so we can't really send him anywhere but...sure.

JVR and Komarov, I'm fine with them walking, Bozak, if he could come back on the cheap would be an ideal #4 center in my opinion.  Good on the faceoff, can move up and play PP minutes and is money in the shootout (which the Leafs have excelled at this season for a bunch of valuable extra points)

I don?t think Babcock wants Bozak as a 4C, judging by the types we?ve traded for that position the past two seasons.

agreed..i'm ok with Bozak coming back as a 3C.....but the summer moves may change that...

I don't think it's unreasonable that JVR gets $6.5-7x7. I would bet he also signs with a US-based team. It will be a shame to see him go but, honestly, we're going to need his $$$ to sign Tavares.
