This would be a good point if Bozak was markedly better than Backlund or Stajan, but I don't think that's the case. I'd say all 3 are at a similar level.
Bringing in Bozak does little more than take away a depth spot from a kid like Horak or Reinhart. Both of whom could very quickly develop into mediocre, middle-6, sub-20-goal-scoring players like Bozak.
Nope, not every move needs to be a home run. Heck, you don't even want to swing at every pitch. And Bozak on a big contract is a baaaad pitch. Just take is as a 'ball', and wait for the next one.
