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.

I don't disagree with you. But Feaster has said the team needs to get bigger up front. I don't see how that happens internally. I also don't see management willing to put up with the growing pains of 3-4 rookies in the lineup, while icing a roster that's $15 million below the cap. That's just not how this franchise operates. And I won't believe they've changed until I see it with my own eyes.
