Confirmed
Originally planned as a follow up deal, but completed it now. Nice talks Berg, ideally we both profit from the exchange.

Excellent deal for NJ, Bozak isn't a great player to begin with, and his value is only diminishing. JVR is going to be tested out on the top line in Toronto, Grabo is the #2, and the Leafs have come out and remarked that Jay McClement will be the 3rd line center next season. That says an awful lot about what the Leafs think of Bozak...

ye I had my hesitations. Especially because i think highly of Berglund and his situation in St.Louis. But as you know I've also always liked Bozak.

I think the best case scenario for Bozak, and the Leafs at this point is a trade. He is a not a #1 center, but he could fit in as a 2/3 (more likely a 3) for another team.

He's been proving my call on him accurate for 2/3 of his seasons, hopefully he makes it 75% and not 50%.

Berglund isn't that great or high-tier of a player either... he'll never score 80 pts or anything. He does bring pretty awesome above average centre H2H. I think value-wise, it's an even trade. Bozak does a little bit of everything, and so does Berglund, maybe a bit more than Bozak in overall H2H but points-wise they're both up there IMO
