The scouting reports on Bozak were far less than complimentary during his first two years in the BCHL. But then he played as an overage player in the league in 2006-07 and had 45 goals and 128 points. All the scouts in the league would have seen him that season because he was playing with Jamie Benn, who was chosen by the Dallas Stars that summer.

The only issue was Bozak had already passed his eligibility to be drafted and any team wanting him would have had to sign him as a free agent.

"That's the problem," a scout said. "You don't sign free agents to NHL contracts coming out of the B.C. Junior League, but maybe we have to start looking into that."

what's your point?
