Agree wtih Kadri might be the odd man out if the Leafs get a high profile centre either Matthews or Stamkos. Will disagree that Kadri is head case though. The Leafs would have to give more than just Kadri to get Hamonic or even Scandalla straight up. Kadri has only year left then he's a UFA, and Hamonic and Scandalla are on friendly long term contracts Like your roster with a few exceptions. Connor Carrick looks like he has solidified a spot and IMO Harrington isn't an NHLer. Robidias and Lupul can't "just" be put on LTIR for cap reasons. If medically cleared they will be part of the cap roster at least.
If the Leafs think Garrett Sparks is the real deal, I would prefer to give him a "bridge" contract. If he turns out to be a regular, saves Leafs cap, and gives Sparks some term and security which he might like.

Come on...Bozak isn't very good, I'd much rather have Kadri who has been fantastic this season...

Bozak will be much better suited for the leafs if they land Matthews, more defense oriented on a cheaper contract, by using Bozak in defensive situations will allow the younger players to thrive in offensive starts. Also by trading away Kadri the leafs will net a much more desirable return, which would be a young top 4 defenseman, maybe needing to sweeten the pot a little bit to land the likes of Scandella, Brodin, Hamonic, or Trouba.

What I mean is that Kadri seems to get a little attitude and misses practises when he isn't being played as much as he wants too. That type of attitude is cancerous in a locker room and a distraction. I do agree it will take a liitle more to get one of those dman you listed that is why i put in brackets a pick or two. That was my bad I thought I put in a 2nd in 2016 in there for Hamonic. Secondly, Harrington played well enough to make the opening day roster and as someone who I see splitting time with Lööv at #6 I think they will allow Carrick, Percy, the rest of our D prospects develop a little more in the AHL. I gave Sparks a two year contract though he may get more that $800,000 per that is why I gave him two years. Thirdly, do you think Robidas is actually hurt I read some where's he was looking healthy in Quebec right now but it might be a harder sell to have Lupul agree to have a " season ending injury".

The reason Bozak is more valuable is his face off ability will challenge Matthews and Nylander in practise and help us in games. He will play any role asked of him. Also, he has more team first attitude than Kadri.Kadri is only going to be a 2nd line center with Nylander and Matthews the future 1 and 2 which top 2 lines is Kadri centering???

There are definitely reasons to keep Bozak over Kadri, but defence is not one of them. Kadri hardly has attitude issues, other than 1 stint last year in the mist of a nightmare season. Im sure babs is keeping him in line. besides Kadri's on ice work ethic blows Bozaks outta the water. Only reason to keep Bozak is less $ for a lower role

Leafatic. Didn't Kadri just miss one practice last year? Hardly a cancer. But anyway. Robidas apparently had pins put in legs this year. Even if he was medically cleared recently, it would not affect going over this years cap. But next year, Lupul's and Robidas at least initially will account for 8.25m, and it can't be wished away.
ABEGG. Don't discount Bozak as a handy player. Kessel had his best years with him...not Crosby or Malkin. Gee last year especially, Bozak was the only player on his line that went into the defensive zone.

This persistent idea that Bozak is good defensively boggles my mind. Nothing is more infuriating than watching him coast around in his own zone. I think people confuse being good on faceoffs with being good defensively. Babcock sees it, the stats see it, Bozak is NOT good defensively. I do think he's better offensively than he gets credit for though.

If you can get a top 4 d-man with term then definitely trade Kadri. Otherwise Bozak should be the odd man out.

It wasn't just the one time he shown up very late or missed other practises so this wasn't a one time thing that is why they suspended him for multiple games. The Leafs had enough of his antics and more or less warned him if he did it again he was done as a leaf. My concern is that what happens when Nylander and let's say we get a Matthews or Stamkos (if we don't get 1st overall). Can we be confident Kadri isn't going to "forget"to set his alarm clock. Also, just because Bozak looks like he's coasting doesn't mean he is not working hard. Some players just skate better than others. Other than my concern about Kadri's attitude going further are you saying Bozak is not putting up similar numbers on a per game average when healthy?? Look again he was almost having a similar year to last year which I'll admit I didn't think was going to happen once they traded Kessel. But between Kadri and Bozak due to being a better skater and younger Kadri would fetch more in the trade market.

Actually I do believe he was suspended for those 3 games due to persistent issues with tardiness and missed practises in years past. When a team suspends a player that long it is usually means a corrective action for multiple offences. just like it would be if you or I were routinely late or missed work.

I'm not proposing Trading Kadri for A lint ball and broken down washer here. I Think you can agree Hamonic is a Top pair Shutdown D man who happens to be a right hand shot something we will need now and years from now.
