Leaf Rumours

I've tweeted the Big 3 to ask what the interest level is in Savard by Ottawa so we'll see if they reply. LeBrun is the best for replies to me so I'll let you guys know. They may say that Ottawa is definitely interested so... just for the sake of both sides of the argument...

We know about Torontos interest in Savard, and rightfully so...

And we know of Savards desire to be local (ie, TO and OTT)...

But we don't know about Bostons interest in dealing with either of the two options available at this time.

And we know that Toronto is definitely very interested in Savard.

What we haven't heard (which doesn't necessarily make it untrue) is whether Ottawa is very interested in Savard.

Which I'm trying to figure out for you.
 
Sidenote: One thing I did see that was interesting was Brian Burke's previous suggestion that teams be allowed to eat parts of salaries in a trade to increase movement is now being supported by Chiarelli:

Chiarelli wouldn't comment on Tim Thomas or Marc Savard reportedly waiving their no-movement clauses Saturday, but he did acknowledge that were he to try and move long-term salaries like that, the deals would be easier to consummate if teams were allowed to eat salary.

"At the start of that notion, I was against it but I'm leaning toward it now," Chiarelli said. "It's not because we may be moving guys or I'm moving guys, it's not because of that. I've been looking at it as a participant and also from 30,000 feet. Everything becomes very static and that's not good for anyone. I'm not lobbying for it to [NHL commissioner] Gary [Bettman] and the hockey ops staff because I understand why they don't have it. But certainly it would be something that I would support now."

I don't think Melnyk is too interested in paying Savard what he's owed in real dollars the next few seasons, regardless of what his cap hit is. Not with the sens losing money.

The Sens lose alittle money, the Scotia Bank Place makes money.

Melnyk didn't lose any money on the team last year.

It didn't really occur to me to look before, but Spezza and Alfie's actual salaries next year exceed their cap hit.

Spezza's cap hit is 7 but his actual salary is 8.
Alfredsson's cap hit is only 4.8 but his actual salary is 7.
Then they have Kovalev at 5.

Despite Savard's 4.2 cap hit, his salary is 7.
 
Okay seriously, **** you all. I spend the entire day helping my father's business move all of his stuff out of his old office into a truck and back and the rumour thread is like 25 pages larger. And I feel compelled to read every post to see what's been happening. You bastards.
