Even if he takes a little less Bozak sucks compared to Eller
Bozak

Eller
54.57cf% 53.42ff% 56.54xgf%
If I was the blues I wouldn’t sign him. Looks like a liability. Eller is fantastic IMO. Bozak might b a 4c at this point in his career
Heh. Let's add a little context to these numbers, shall we?
Eller - 58% O-zone starts
Bozak - 43% O-zone starts
Bozak (who missed two months to injury in the middle of the season, mind you) has also spent a lot of his time centering Hoffman, and we all know what that means defensively 5v5. Then there's something even better than underlying numbers... overlying numbers.
Eller - on ice for 21gf, 25ga
Bozak on ice for 11gf, 15 ga
Eller - .53 PPG
Bozak - .55 PPG
Finally, a couple more numbers to add color to the picture.
Eller - 50% on draws
Bozak - 57% on draws
Eller - 2x3.5m after this season
Bozak - something more affordable, one would presume
The moral of the story: You can't just look at Corsi/Fenwick and judge a player or compare two. Bozak does not suck, which one who actually watched him play would know. The Blues aren't giving up Dunn for a redundant but pricey 32yo. Sorry.
