Leaf Rumours

I think it would be a great deal for MLSE. Provided they get a clean bill of health on Savard ( if that's possible)

IMO Savard has a great contract, chemestry with Kessel, a "dick" kind of attitude on the ice, and is a good cap hit
 
Alright, guess I'm on my own on this. The thought of adding a talent like that up front for that low of a cap hit is really tempting for me, especially when I saw how good we looked up front and how we still had buckets of cash left. I don't know if another move would make us that much better next year save for Kovalchuk. I'll drop it, I guess.

I agreed with you....and look at my recent track record of brilliance :)
 
Could you imagine if Burke could get Savard, dump Finger in the minors trade grabs and sign Kovulchuk???

Kovulchuk Savard Kessel???? :explode
 
I'll continue to line the pockets of MLSE no matter how many times they **** me over. Just put down my money for a Phaneuf jersey.

Four more years at good money and then it drops to 1.5, .525, .525. Easy, easy, easy to dump or drop to the minors. And it's not a 35+ contract.

It's not even so much that's it's easy to drop.....it's that Savard clearly signed it (imo) as a retirement contract, with the intent of retiring prior to year 5 or 6 of the deal.

He's not liable to play as a 38, 39 year for 500K a year....nor did he ever have any intention of doing so, when he signed it. (imo)

It's a 5 year 20 million dollar contract vs the cap....that pays him just under 27 million......or a 4 year 16 million dollar cap, deal....that pays him just over 25 mill.


You must of missed it, hl....I pointed this all out the other day when Savard being available was first broached........if we can land him on the cheap, he'd be a steal.

I'd do it. The rumour said Burke wasn't interested, but I'd do it. I don't think the Ryan/Voraceks will be offered to us. You're getting an A level asset though.

I think you're bang on.

I think you're going to see offers of Derek Roy, Jack Johnson, Joffrey Lupul, Marc Savard as the centerpieces combined with various prospects or 1sts.

we finally got our version of a player being run out of town only to play better elsewhere ie larry murphy , lee stemp ........ just saying LOL
