Leaf Rumours

We've gone over this. Going in circles.

Heh. I'll give him this though, another valient attempt to get us to re-visit the Ottawa part of this discussion. It must be pretty lonely cheering for the Sens.

Anyways, I have a feeling we won't hear any more updates on the Marc Savard situation until after July 1st. While Burke was very careful to avoid saying that he isn't interested in Savard, he did mention he's got a bunch of other irons in the fire. So, I'll have a feeling he'll want to explore those, as well as see what the landscape's going to be after July 1st before he seriously contemplates taking Savard's contract off Chiarelli's hands.
 
DarrenDreger Bruins will listen to everything, but Savard is a $4 mil cap hit and Boston isn't trying to push him out. He's great value at that price.
 
I wish something of substance would happen so we can get rid of these sh!tty circular arguments about maybes.....only 1 and a half more days...
 
There is no way the Sens have ANY INTEREST in Savard.

They dont have the cap room, and also WHO CARES ABOUT THE SENS!

Every time I open this thread its the same damn argument. For fcuk sakes, this is a god damn leafs rumor thread for crying out loud.
 
What other forwards do you guys think the Leafs might be interested in come July 1st if not Savard? We've already discussed the possibility of adding Torres who is versatile enough to play either on the second or third line, and he would likely come cheap given his stated preference to his agent to play in his hometown. That could be a nice addition for under $2 million. Then there's the issue of not qualifying Mitchell. I know Burke and Nonis have not ruled out bringing him back but it appears that is contingent on not finding any serviceable options for the bottom six forwards. I would love for the Leafs to add a Manny Malhotra-type guy for the third-line centre position.
 
Not much interest in Belanger. He's not tough or physical enough to provide what Burke says he's looking for the bottom two lines (he's good defensively but doesn't have enough tenacity or sandpaper) and he's not skilled enough to play a role offensively on the top two lines. He's like a more defensively-responsible, Canadian Grabovski.
