Leaf Rumours

Don't worry about Corky, he has to talk this down as best he can. He knows that if Lispy is up against Burke for Savard's services, Savard will not be an Ottawa Senator. For obvious reasons, he doesn't like the thought of Savard coming to Toronto.

Yea, Burke is such a shrewd GM that he can convince Boston to trade to a divisional rival, likely improving their chances next season and hurting their position in the next draft.

Murray couldn't possibly top Caputi, Gunnarson and a 3rd!
 
You're reading me wrong here.

Savard has waived his NTC for two teams, Toronto and Ottawa. Of course these two teams will have interest in him. Without question.

But does Boston have ANY interest in dealing with either of them? Let alone making the deal a "soft" one? I just see it as very unlikely that they make a move to either team...let alone Toronto...

No, no. I'm not reading you wrong. If you had come here and said "I think it's unlikely that Boston trades Savard to Toronto", I would've let that go because quite frankly, I don't know why the heck they would either.

Instead you say delusional. We're delusional for thinking there's a possibility of a soft trade, like Bob McKenzie, Darren Dreger, and Nick Kypreos all suggested. And like I say, in fairness - fans of any other team would be talking like this if those three said that.

Murray can't afford Savard.

You're unfamiliar with your cap situation Corky.

Saying it over, and over, and over, and over again...doesn't make it true, Skippy.
 
Or they could trade Fisher.
Or not re-sign Sutton or Volchenkov.
Or they could make countless other moves to free up space.

If Murray really wants Savard, he can find 4.2 worth of room. Don't kid yourself, guys.

I have no problem with discussing the possibility of the Leafs getting Savard. That doesn't mean I won't try to talk some sense into some people who seem to think that Boston's hands are tied and that the Leafs are going to rape the Bruins. Chiarelli has proven to be a pretty shrewd GM. He will get decent value for Savard no matter where he trades him. It would be Grabs, Mitchell and a 4th for Savard and a 2nd like some people here seem to think.

That's fine, but while "talking sense", make sure you acknowledge that the "unsensible" trade rumours have come directly from legit sources, and not from crazy homer leaf fans.

THIS. Like for crying out loud, it's not us.

It would've been really fun to see these tweets and rumours come out prior to the Phaneuf deal BTW.
