Tyler Bozak

I’ve been saying Tyler Bozak could be our best option for a while now. Why? Well Toronto is undergoing their rebuild and Bozak seems to be on the short end of that stick. He’s expendable to them and they’re looking for a contending team to trade them some prospects or draft picks.

Well here’s where the Penguins fit in perfectly. We have what they want and they have what we want. The only issue is that Bozak’s cap hit of $4.2 million is above our $3 million budget.

A deal could still happen with money going the other way, which is why I think Bozak is one of the three candidates.
