I agree

He’s not a run and gun player though.  He’s a cycle and slow the play down type of player. 

Even if I did hate Bozak, which I don’t, you’re simply being evasive.  You’re also re-writing history.  Connolly was acquired with every expectation that he would provide the playmaking finesse Bozak lacks.

They have 3 including their own

HH welcome back. Don’t know you but I remember it was interesting when you were around before.

 Kadri has already played 20 more AHL league games then Ryan did and he still isnt in a Leaf Uni.

He’ll also be 32 when this contract is done…if you honestly see him as a 50-60pt centreman on another team then good for you however I’d wager most don’t see him as that type of player anymore. 

Let’s hope that trend is about to end

I doubt Columbus has a team 10 years from now (perhaps even 5 years).  They’re toast, methinks.

I agree with that

Had he been that player with Phil he would not go anywhere

Burke is gone because he would not circumvent the cap and bring in stars like Richards or Kovalchuk…..he had the green light to spend but was too bloody stubborn, if you have a chance to aquire a Brad Richards to center Kessel, Lups, well, you should dam well do it, do what’s best for the team, drop the ego. Burke got burned, these contracts can now be bought out if they don’t perform. Burke did a great job but that was one of his faults.

He also didn’t return to junior is his draft+2 year though…
