Leaf Rumours

Its great until 6 games in Savard gets hit and doesn't play the rest of the year with Post Concussion syndrome. Party over.
 
We know what Burke wants. Prime, well over six foot two, BEEF. Heavily muscled, North American, tough as a two dollar steak, BEEF.

Apart from his Bob Marley attributes, Super Joe Thornton would be a great BURKE guy.

Gimme Gustavson in 2011, Phaneuf at his best, Pronger, Thornton, Kessel and Kadri.
 
HL, weren't you the most chronic complainer of people linking Savard-Kessel over the last year, lol? Now even you want them reunited!

I kid, I kid.

He's a great player who before last year scored 97, 96, 78 and 88 points. And in 3 of those seasons, he played a full 82 games, so it's not like he's been injury prone.

It's just that there is a significant amount of risk at that age & contract. I'm just not sure. I think I'd be interested, but not in a Kaberle deal.

If Bergeron takes one more of those hits, he's done. Could happen any time.

there is no denying that. It would be a huge gamble but if the rumors are true and he wants out then he could be had for less then what he think.

Saying that I am still on the Stall train even though he's prob not going anywhere

They're supposedly shopping Savard and keeping Bergeron. And two years ago you would've said the same about Bergeron, no? But no problems since.
 
savard is everything this team is not suppose be, broken down vets on their tail end of their career

savard is everything that steered this teams direction in the wrong way for years, and now also comes with an ugly price tag

gimme me j staal !
 
I don't believe Staal's going anywhere. Or Ryan for that matter.

We're not trading a young guy here. We're trading a 32 year old. For maybe another 32 year old. What's the issue?
 
Savard is undersized with the worst imaginable recurring injury potential. And he's locked in for 100 years.

And some people were talking about Malone, and those people are idiots.
 
we are trading the 32 yr old to gain a good return that is suppose to push us forward in our rebuilding its suppose to be the final old dog released so that the young guys can take this team completely over

savard is just another bandaid to get into the playoffs for a round or two

Keep dreaming of Staal I guess. I don't see why I'm the only one this is tempting to.

MNIJ, am I just crazy here or would this be a great move?

It has the makings to be a great move because Kessel and Savard have chemistry but it has the makings to blow up in our face.

Remember Kessels first shift when Ohlund tried to knock him back into 1991. It could easily happen to Savard and then were fooked.

I like the idea but you have to weary
 
I agree Savard is more like the Quinn players we'd get pre-lockout. Notice with the young team there's less injuries now? I like Savard a lot, but it's not worth the risk.
