I said it earlier today and I'll say it again. The Leafs don't need another puck moving defenseman and one that's smaller than 6 foot. Also, that's too much for Vatenen, considering JVR is part of the mix. Ritchie is not valuable at all in my opinion and right now all the Leafs need is a big, stay at home, RHD to play big minutes for them, or at least someone who isn't afraid to throw his body around and intimidate the other teams.
Bozak is a mentor for the youngsters, whether that's valuable enough to keep him around, I'm not sure, but I can tell you the Leafs will wait as long as they can before moving him, and not for two second round picks that's for sure. I really like Muzzin, but Gardiner and a first plus Rychel? I don't think that's happening. And again, the Leafs don't need LHD right now. The pipeline is strong for the future.
I like Boyle as well, but as said above he is getting older, as if Dom Moore, so I don't see those signings happening for the Leafs, and it doesn't make sense to me to move Bozak and then bring in two - much older players, in the decline of their career who will more than likely find themselves getting waived - for more than the price of Bozak.
