One year ago today, I wrote a story about three possible Maple Leafs’ buyout candidates. One year on, we’ve tried to forget the saga of Jared Cowen, even if we shouldn’t, and the idea of buying out Tyler Bozak now seems really hilarious. It was merely laughable last year, yet some fans were in favour of it.
The third name in that story was Joffrey Lupul. My conclusion then was that buying him out last summer was unwise, but looking at it again this summer might be a good idea.
