"Tyler Bozak predicted as the centre of choice once the Leafs acquired Phil Kessel in September, is the hands-down choice to join the Leafs in time for Tuesday’s date with the Carolina Hurricanes."

Signed as a free agent out of the University of Denver last spring, Bozak has the exact skill set the Leafs are crying for. He is a instinctive playmaker with excellent speed who, at least at the college level was adroit in the face-off circle. He was also an excellent penalty killer.

“It hasn't been an ideal year for him but hopefully he can take advantage whenever we call him up,” Wilson said of Bozak. “We'll give him an opportunity to show us what he can do. He's not a fourth-line guy so if or when we do bring him up, we'll give him quality ice time and play him with good players,” Wilson said.
