Leaf Rumours

oh, and corky....this is what your blueline looks like if you don't bring VTrain or a replacement in

Kuba-Phillips
Lee-Karlsson
Cowen/Carkner/Gryba/Schira

The odds of lispy going into the season with that blueline is ****ing nill, and you know it.

Carkner-Cowen/Weircoch/Campoli

Not great, but certainly worth a start if we can steal Savard from Boston AND keep him away from Toronto at the same time.

Awful is the word you're looking for, AWFUL.
 
for that matter, so is Carkner. Cowen looked over matched at the world ****ing juniors of all places last year, and has Weircioch even said that he's leaving the NCAA yet?

We all know that if it comes down to Ottawa and Toronto, the Senators always get their man. :sarcasm

Seriously, I count 2 good NHL defenders, an excellent prospect (who weighs about 130 pounds soaking wet, so durability could come into question) and a bunch of kids that aren't ready and shite.

All so that you can spend 18 million dollars at the centre position, 4.2 million on a 3rd line centre and 2+ million on a 4th line centre.


Have fun with that.

Thing is, that's not a cap dump at all really. It saves them some cash money, but no cap space.

If Kule comes in at 2.5 and Gunner at .8, that saves Boston 900K in cap. Kule isn't going to be very cap friendly at his current production level in his new contract, the hope with him is that he turns into a 25+ goal scorer during this new contract.

Getting 2 players for cheaper than 1 player is a decent cap dump... plus they save real cash and get a somewhat fair deal... in some people's eyes anyways. I still think that's a steal for the Leafs though.... unless the prospect is pretty good.

You clowns are freaking hilarious.

If the Sens want to make room for Savard's 4.2, there is no problem doing so.

Then you wouldn't have any trouble explaining how such a thing would be done.

Like, sure, it's doable but if that's really how you want your blueline to look next year....

Yeah, I took Msun's point under advisement there....a lot of this is about the 7 year commitment to the Bruins and getting out from under that now that they have a potential franchise centre in the fold.

They may not be as concerned with cap space this season as I suggested though I'm sure they would love to have a little bit extra to spend on their blueline. Behind Chara it's just not good.
 
msun30 said:
again, though.

this isn't a cap move. savard is available because of the 7 year commitment, not the $4mn cap hit.
Click to expand...

More so than that I think he's available because they have 4 top 2 (arguably) centers.

I still think it's not really a 7 year commitment... it's extremely unlikely that Savard plays year 5 of that deal and a certainty that he doesn't play years 6 and 7.
 
Personal reasons for Savard by the way? Where is he actually from? Somewhere between Ottawa and Toronto? Kingston?

Maybe we could switch the speculation to what he needs to go to one of two teams FOR?

Thanks to Sensible, and everyone biting on it, this has gotten a little to Sens versus Leafs for me.
 
We have a few sources saying that there's interest on the Leafs' end here, do we have any for the Sens? Genuinely curious. Does Ian Mendes or someone like that have Twitter?

He's from Ottawa but I heard something about his kids being in Toronto with his ex-wife.

Actually Isaac from the Habs board came over long before this ever really leaked and said Savard had asked to be dealt from Boston and his preferred destination is Toronto followed by Ottawa. He talks about this on the Habs' board rumour board. He has someone who knows Savard or something.

I really think giving up Caputi could be a possibility. I am sure Bos knew about Pitts prospects and maybe they saw him in a positive light as well.

Sign mitchell to the 10% raise and put together a package of Caputi, Mitchell and next years 3rd rounder

Great idea... that package will get you a 2nd rounder which you can then package together with some real assets to get Savard.
