Former player Joe Nieuwendyk, now the special assistant to Toronto GM Brian Burke, was given a bulk of the credit for the Leafs landing the highly-coveted Tyler Bozak. All signs point to Nieuwendyk having a bright future as a GM after his training stint in Toronto is over. "(Nieuwendyk) came to watch me in Denver," Bozak said. "He was a huge influence, he was great to talk to and he helped me a lot with (the decision to join the Leafs)." Still, Burke wants to improve his NHL roster so college players like Bozak don't see job opportunities with the big club. "I hope this is the last year we're a destination for the college player," Burke said. [The Star]
