I'd much rather give up Komi than Beauch, not just because I think he's worse, but because Phaneuf, Komi, and Schenn are all pretty much strictly right side defensemen, so they don't fit well into a top-4 together.

I believe you're incorrect here. Beauchemin, Phaneuf shoot left, while Schenn and Komisarek shoot right.

Also, Gunnarson who is likely to be a easy top four shoots left also and should likely be penciled into the top four with Kabs moving out.
 
nah, Phaneuf/Komi/Schenn are/were always on the right.

Beauch/Kaberle/Gunnar on the left. Gunnar's the only one who looked comfortable on both sides.
 
Basically the pairings last year were:

Beauch-Phaneuf
Kaberle-Komisarek
Gunnar-Schenn

even though thye were never all healthy together.

Kaberle/Komi both being traded would at least keep it clean and simple.

and I still prefer Beauch to Komi by a good margin anyways.

That being said, we'd really need to add another dman if these deals go down.
 
Well, I'm no fan of Beauchemin. But I also think Komi and Schenn are close to the same, so overkill for that skillset. So, maybe trade Komi but not sure we'd get them to take that contract.

But I'd take Komi over Beauchemin any day of the week.
 
I'd be okay with giving up Komi because of his contract and the redundancy with Schenn. However, I'd also prefer to see Beauchemin off our blueline overall.
 
Wouldn't we be a bit thin on the backend of we trade both of Kabs and Komi/Beauchemin?

Geez, we might end up seeing Finger in the lineup if we do that.
 
Taking Savard's contract off Boston is kindda doing them a favour. It's really interesting though, that an offensively challenged team like Boston would be so desperate to ship Savard. His concussion problem might be worse than what we thought.

I don't expect us to pay much for Savard, and as long as that's the case I don't mind taking on his contract ($4M x 6 more seasons) and his injury risk.

Boston is right up to the cap limit. They got $4M cap space left and they still have to sign a puck moving defenseman to replace Wideman.

What would be funny, is if Seguin isn't ready next season, and Bergeron is lost to injury again ... heh.

If we can move Komi/Beauch for Savard, we might even be able to keep Kaberle. But if not, we'd have 15+ million to spend.
 
you have to hear the idiots on the FAN right now all saying that Savard will cost 7 million and that we shouldn't be bring a guy like him in.. If this happens he hopes the media runs out Burke.

Listening to them say 7 million because the host said it make me want to just punch them. The most sound call came from a 12 year old kid.
 
I also think you have boston on a bit of a barrel and it would take not even close to a Schenn.

Grabs, rights to Kulemin and some late picks. Hell give them Mitchy
