He should fetch a 1st at the deadline next year when he will be a rental.

There's no way a nearly 30-year-old rental 3rd pairing defenceman fetches a 1st round pick. A second is a possibility, but if he could get a first the Leafs would have fired him out of a cannon to his new team to get him there more quickly.

Hi, have you met Brayden Coburn?

Ditto.
Bozak is not a good fit on this team, and it's possible that other Gms would have a hard time finding a place for this guy. He is definitely not a #1C, would not be an upgrade to any contending teams current #2C position and really isn't strong enough defensively to be considered a perfect #3C...way too passive on the puck and in his d-zone battles.

I don't follow these things super-closely but the people who I read who do say 2016 will probably be pretty good too.
Anyways I think you said it somewhere else but I really think that the takeaway from yesterday should be just how tough it is to move bad contracts and the Leafs have a bunch of bad contracts. Lupul, Bozak, Phaneuf...they're just not deals teams want to take on. Whenever people proposed deals for them they'd typically defend their ideas by saying some variation on "Well, maybe a team will get desperate and do XYZ".
Well, it doesn't look like that happens. Teams know how important cap flexibility is and there's a world of difference between taking on a bad deal for a playoff run and sacrificing a draft pick for a playoff run.
