Tyler Bozak is a class act. For those who have yet to read it, Bozak penned a heartfelt thank-you to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the city and fans in the Players Tribune. It is worth your time.
The often maligned centre accepted a three-year 15 million dollar contract on July first with the St. Louis Blues. The former Maple Leafs centre was originally signed by Brian Burke April 2009. A highly coveted college free agent he spent the previous two years playing for the U. of Denver Pioneers posting 57 points in 60 games.
in 2009, Bozak signed an ELC along with another college free agent Christian Hanson: GM Burke had a nasty habit of trading away Toronto Maple Leafs high draft picks and needed some way to stock the prospect cupboards.
