With the Auston Matthews and Mike Babcock drama hopefully swept under the rug for the moment, the next thing on Toronto Maple Leafs' fans minds is the futures of UFA's James van Riemsdyk, Tyler Bozak and Leo Komarov. While JVR and Komarov are likely gone, there's still a chance that the Leafs retain Bozak. Bozak has done a great job since signing in 2009, he's been one of the league's best faceoff guys and has stepped up when needed to, even when forced to play on the teams top line. Kristen Shilton of TSN asked the forward about his big summer coming up. "It would be my top priority to stay here. My family loves it here, my kid loves it here, he thinks he owns the place. It'll be tough on him if I'm not back." Bozak could potentially accept a hometown discount to stay in Toronto, the only team he's played for during his NHL career. Would you like to see Bozak stick around with Tomas Plekanec and Dominic Moore also set to be UFA's?
