Can one of you advanced staters explain why he would be such a big coup for us?
(unless he is the bad contract we must take on to acquire the player we were really after in the first place?)

To me, Bozak is the current version of Matt Stajan from 2010. If the Flames are indeed targeting someone from the Leafs, I think Kadri is probably the best.
His value is relatively low right now, but he has the pedigree to be a top 6 forward. The guy scored at a point per game clip a few seasons ago. He's still young, is a bit of an irritant on the ice.
I think a second line of Bennett and Kadri would be quite difficult to play against. Throw Ferland in on that LW to protect the two of them and give them some space.
He does have a bit of a childish demeanor and lacks maturity but I thinK Giordano could straighten him out when he picks up from the airport.
He strikes me as a buy low, but with high reward type acqusition.
Maybe a Granlund, Bouma, and a 2nd tier prospect for Kadri?
