IMO there is no need to trade away any of JVR/Bozak/Komarov, with one yr left the return won't be good enough and will only weaken the roster, I think on paper this roster is already loaded with offensive power.
The price for quality D was too high so a trade didn't happen, I doubt it will happen during summer....I would trade any of the three at deadline as rentals if we are not playoff team by then (hopefully is not the case), otherwise keep them all and make a run for it.
Next summer, looking at it with a business like approach, I think management are looking at Leivo to at least give him a try to replace JVR, Hayman to replace Komarov role, my only doubt is Bozak; If Nylander doesn't move to C we don't have a prospect coming to replace him. I think he is the one that will be resigned if the price is cap friendly, otherwise will look to FA, maybe Thorton 1yr (if he can still skate by then) or someone short term and hopefully Nylander can slot there or Brooks is awesome and can come up...
D will have to be assessed from the draft...if Leafs can get to move Marchenko I see them signing Polak back for another year for depth RD (when Brown signs will be at 49 contracts already)
