Tyler Bozak (A+)
I was not a Bozak fan before this season. Honestly, I thought he was part of the bad signings from the old days.
Boy, was I wrong about him, though.
He’s terrific, a leader, a smart hockey player, and a glue guy.
How do you not like Bozak?
Even more so with the year he had and I know a lot of his success can be attributed to Marner on his wing, but still.
He impressed me.
In 78 games played, he scored 18 goals and 55 points, a career-high I might add.
For those that don’t think faceoffs are important, stop reading because I’m going to talk about his faceoff game since they are important.
Fair warning.
Bozak recorded a 56.7% faceoff win percentage this past season, good for seventh overall in the league.
To call him a maven in the dot wouldn’t be far-fetched by any stretch of the imagination.
