Leaf Rumours

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.

What of the high salaries you already have on your team, as I pointed out in my post above?

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.

Melnyk has no problem paying out above the cap if needed to ice a winner.

He got the Sens and arena for cents on the dollar and they provide him with a nice profit year in and year out.

Money is not an issue.

I'm gonna disagree here - not because I don't believe they wouldn't go over the cap in salaries but I can't see them being likely to take on Savard's 7 million, which they don't really even have a need for, just to keep him from Toronto. If Spezza's 8 million is moved, which seems unlikely, then I guess it's a discussion.

The 30-40 point Raffi Torres that out produced any Sens third liner, and would of been the 5th highest point producer on the Sens this year?

That Raffi Torres?

Yes. That Raffi Torres.

Congrats on potentially spending 2.0 million on Chris Kelly.

Having two top C's is a key to winning.

The Sens wouldn't be getting Savard to keep him from the Leafs, but because it would instantly vault them from a playoff team to contender status.

The Sens lost several million dollars last season even with the three games of playoff revenue on the books, and despite recouping a large portion of that last cash with monthly events throughout the year held at Scotiabank Place they're certainly not one of the more fiscally well-endowed teams in the league (certainly not a Toronto or New York Rangers). And given that Savard's cap hit is substantially less than his real salary and given the multiple players that Ottawa would have to move first in order to accomodate Savard positionally, it's just a poor fit all around. Perhaps if they move Fisher beforehand, but until then it's just conjecture.

I thought you already had two top C's - Giggles and Canadian Olympian Mike Fisher.

I've called no one any names.

I've not insulted the logic of those who have a different position.

I've only posted an honest counter point and attempted to back it up with logic and facts.

And still I'm called a troll.

The need cap space and have 4 centers making $3.75 million or more.

do they not have over 8 million in space, and only need 6 or 7 players? I'd be more keen on working to move Thomas somewhere then moving my top center. $4 mill cap hit is not bad, I'd hang onto it.

The Sens lost money.

The Sens and Scotiabank place were profitable.

It is simply accounting.

I'm sure you are aware of this fact, so why would you pretend that money is an issue when Melnyk has a proven track record of spending to be competitive. Heck, the Sens just waived Cheechoo today...
