Dizz30. I'll give my take as probably the longest serving Leaf fan on this site. Bozak, Komarov and JVR are really needed by the Leafs this year if they are going to make the playoffs. Leafs do not have NHL depth at centre or even much proven goal scoring at LW. The Leafs likely cannot afford JVR in 2019, and maybe not Bozak and Komarov. As the team evolves, I'm optimistic that those three guys will be replaced by cheaper guys on ELCs to makes way for the larger contracts of Nylander next season....and then Matthews , Marner, and Kapanen. But in the meantime, Bozak, JVR and Komarov almost have to stay this season, unless it for an immediate help.
I was just joking about the Hayes. Of course it was a bad trade for the Rangers long term. But the "selfish" introduction which solves the Ranger problem without addressing the Leafs issue, I had to make a comment.
And another note, many Leaf fans (proportionately) just go crazy thinking "we have to get something" for UFAs the might "walk." We not just let the player play, try to win and then deal with the "defections" and new cap space next summer.
