Leaf Rumours

I know the good ufa's get overpaid. Which is my point. Hamhuis isn't ACTUALLY worth 5M. Will he get it? Most likely or close to it.
 
I'd say that if Hamhuis was going to get $5 million his rights wouldn't have been traded twice already.

Doesn't seem like teams are in such a hurry to meet his demands.
 
Which is why I'm confused.

Don't you guys already have lots of options for bottom-6 guys? Why pay him 1.5-2 to provide what you already have.

We were 29th in the league last year with the 30th ranked PK. Do you think Burke is so satisfied with our bottom 6/utility players that he wouldn't consider any upgrades?
 
Sensible. Toronto is the better fit for savard and his family. Your center position is already pretty locked up and costs you alot. Your team needs to look at D if anything. Just let it go.
 
I'm still curious as to why we haven't heard anything about the Sens being interested in Savard, if they indeed are. TSN, Sportsnet and ESPN have all confirmed the Leafs to be interested in him specifically but nothing from the Mendes' or Garriochs of the world.
 
The Sens would have to remove Fisher or Spezza from the equation before they could even contemplate taking a run at Savard. The Leafs current lack of quality centres is actually an advantage in this instance because it makes Savvy a better positional fit.

I think it's probably because the sens aren't interested. I just can't seeing them being interested. Could they be? sure but it wouldn't make much sense for them.
 
IF the Bruins have to move Savard for scraps and are screwed into giving him to a division rival that will haunt them for the next few years, you can bet your ass that Chia isn't going to screw himself even further by hurting the chances of getting another lottery pick from the Leafs.

I think the whole thing is BS as the Bruins have plenty of other options that hurt them far less in the short and long-term, but if Savard is moved, Ottawa is the far more likely destination.
 
I think even though Savard's cap hit his great, the fact that's being paid 7 million over the next two years might be a deterrent for Ottawa, who's already paying out salaries of 8, 7, and 5 to Spezza, Alfredsson, and Kovalev next season.

Fisher can play wing or could be convinced to rescind his no-trade to move closer to his new bride in a southern market.

The Sens have plenty of options.
