SAVARD UPDATE
Take this with a grain of salt as this guy has been so-so with his reports; its someone inside MLSE. As of now, the Bruins are working very hard on moving either Ryder or Sturm to the Avs or Isles to get cap relief. Going into the summer they thought they could dump Thomas; but with the goalie market saturated and Nabokov and Turco still looking for work; the chances of that happening are slim to none.
The Bruins DO NOT want to move Savard; but if they do as of now he will only go to Ottawa or Toronto. Ottawa has shown no interest while the Leafs would love to bring him on board at the right price. Columbus and St. Louis have shown interest in Savard over the last week; but he refused to waive for either organization.
So as of now, Bruins are pushing hard to move Ryder or Sturm; if that doesn't work then their only other option is Savard to Toronto; unless they can persuade him to waive elsewhere.

I see no reason why a Ryder/Sturm to the Isles can't be worked out.
Ryder and a 2nd to NYI for a 4th.

Hard to imagine anyone getting Ryder in a deal and being accused of raping the other party....but yeah.
Now that i think of it Snow might take both Sturm and Ryder

Ryder and Sturm both suck. I don't see anyone being too eager to take them on, unless Boston makes it worth their while.

and Boston should
It makes more sense for Boston to give away those 2, then it does to give away Savard to a division rival.
And if you are NYI, you take any warm body you can since clearly no one will sign a contract to play with you.

Thing is, one of Ryder or Sturm isn't enough.
They have 5 players to sign just to reach a 23 man roster, and have 2.7 million to do it if the entirely dip into their potential bonuses this season to do it.
Sturm makes 3.5, Ryder makes 4.
Even if they're able to unload Ryder for absolutely no salary in return, that makes 6.7 million with 6 spots to fill. Blake Wheeler is quite likely looking for just under half of that 6.7 million just to himself.
They need to clear two of their larger salaries just to be able to fill out their roster.
Thomas isn't moving, so they need to move both Ryder & Sturm to be able to keep Savard. With cheaper (and quite likely, better) options on the free agent market like Ponikarovsky, Kariya, Demitra, & Stempniak available as well as the more expensive but significantly better Frolov still out there waiting for the Kovalchuk sweeps to end, I just don't see the demand there for two pretty shit players until the FA carousel grinds to a halt, but Boston is in some pretty significant danger of not having an suitors left for their dead weight contracts when it does.

I can see the isles taking both for a song.

Maybe, and maybe Frolov decides he doesn't want to play there either.
Then Providence it is for both those guys.

Neither of them belong in the AHL anyway.
They'll find a taker for each if they're prepared to take nothing back, or perhaps some better contract for a worse player.

They need to shed both and not take any contracts back over ~1.0 million
Getting rid of both with no contracts returning would give them 10.2 million in cap to fill 7 spots, including Wheeler, & Seguin.
That 10.2 is assuming they use up their entire 1.15 million bonus cushion as well, which is just pushing the pain onto next summer (with Chara & Bergeron needing new contracts)
