As the drama unfolds, DU star Tyler Bozak has set off a civil war in Canada that threatens to rock the country to its foundation. Needless to say the fanbase of the losing team in this "Salary Cap Restricted Bidding War," is not going to take the news well.
Of course, Bozak could end up back in the Mile High City with a team that's struggling to reconnect with its fans. All we know for sure is that the longer this drags out, the better the situation for TyBo.

Pessimistic Fan's Super Top-Secret Short ListNoted Canadian hockey commentator Bob McKinzie is throwing fuel on the fire by impling that its a two horse race between Ottawa & Toronto. We give a slight edge to the Senators, who are REALLY hot for Bozak, but many in the Canadian media like the Maple Leafs' chances.
1. Senators
2. Maple Leafs
3. Avalanche
4. Islanders
* Penguins are a deep wild card (Link)
McKinzie notes:
"There were more than 20 teams that initially showed interest in highly touted forward Tyler Bozak, whose season ended at Denver University this past weekend, and the 23-year old Regina, Saskatchewan native has narrowed down his selection to three or four.
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators are two of those teams that are squarely in the mix for Bozak's services.
There's an expectation that Bozak will make a decision, agree to terms, and sign with an NHL team as early as Thursday, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if one of the Canadian teams - Toronto or Ottawa - ends up being the winner in these sweepstakes."

I wonder what Bob McKenzie (the other TSN commentator) thinks?
*feel free to delete this comment ...
Whoops. Nice catch. I misspelled his name three times. Ouch. :-)
RE: "Salary Cap Restricted Bidding War,"
Bozak is an entry level player, therefore, the salary cap will not factor into the bidding.
DTP to the rescue...
Looks like Toronto is the destination. Sportsnet TV on their "ticker" said that the Leafs will sign TyBo on Friday.
