Sure he looks good this year, but I credit Phil the Thrill for that.
As was already mentioned of course Grabbo is struggling when he is playing with the players who lack offense. Grabbo's offensive creativity has been stifled and he resorts to trying to do too much on his own resulting in turnovers. There was a reason he was awarded the contract he has and if you swapped Bozak and Grabovski's role this season the #s would look vastly different.
Bozak's only redeeming quality is faceoffs and at 53% he is far from the elite. He has won so many because he is routinely given the most icetime and draws out of our Cs. Kadri looked pretty good with Kessel last night and Im sure Grabovski would too. I have heard the Dominic Moore comparison thrown around before and I think it is fitting. He is not a #1 center and would be a good 3rd line C for most teams.
id give bozak 3.5 to 4 anything higher is to much imo
as for Grabo he's lost his confidence, playing without is "jump" and playing with 3rd and 4th liners. he's playing like 12 to 14 minutes a night, what do you think is gonna happened
i hope he re finds his game for playoffs or given more of an opportunity to play with better players
Grabo has twice the talent
Bozak plays with more confidence.
If Grabo can regain his form i'd much rather have him. Last night he looked better with JVR, i think Randy needs to keep those guys together, and keep Lupul with kessel.
agreed.....
and imo JVR needs to drive the net and keep his feet moving more .... to many times last night he was coasting though the neutral zone and looking to pass the puck off
