Ya, damned if you do...and damned if you don't.<br /><br />If this scenario plays out, I see Zubrus staying as the 3rd line centre and Grabovski going on the bubble if he doesn't deliver on his potential. Kadri can easily become second line centre by mid-season (with or without Zubrus). He is at an age where you can see rapid development. His current problem may simply be needing some time to get used to his new playing weight.<br /><br />I think it comes down to Burke's view on the likelyhood of Irwin or Hanson developing into a 3rd line centre by midseason. If he believes it is most likely, then you don't take on Zubrus.Leafschatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672123104356293648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942395290775825895.post-89464787602375826782010-09-28T11:34:51.199-04:002010-09-28T11:34:51.199-04:00It would certainly make the Leafs better now, espe...It would certainly make the Leafs better now, especially given that Kadri will likely be spending some time in the AHL.<br /><br />The problem is that when Kadri comes up (presumably some time this year or to start next season) Zubrus becomes your 4th center at $3.4M behind Kadri, Bozak and Grabovski.<br /><br />Unless Burke changes his tune on burying players that might be a risky proposition long term but goodness knows we could use a veteran center.Curt Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817914669452185454noreply@blogger.com
