Leaf Rumours

The only reason to bring in Savard is to have the vet backup to take some heat off Bozak and Kadri. But the problem with Savard is he's signed long-term. Ideally you want a guy like him on a 2 year deal, so that once Bozak and Kadri are established, they can take over.
 
Seemed like Bozak liked the heat just fine last year and Kadri couldn't get his head straight for a month when he was deprived the heat.

I wouldn't worry about them.

But even if he ends up becoming a 3rd line center, at 4M...it's not a bad price for a 3rd line center that can fill into the top six whenever we need to (see 3M for Armstrong)

Well, not really. The reason to take Savard is that he's an elite talent for only a 4 million cap hit and supposedly is available for a discount.
 
You don't go out and acquire Savard and his lengthy contract to make him your #3 center.

Especially since he'd be useless as a #3 center.
 
If that's the best we can do, I'd rather not do anything and wait for something to develop during the season.

No thanks to screwing up the roster because he's the best available option out there. Which he's not, by the way.
 
Or, jokes aside, wouldn't it be better to add Gagne, a winger (a position we need to fill), for free, and whose contract expires in a year?

So you're opposed to adding Savard for a pittance because of his concussion issues, but you would have no problem adding the concussed Gagne?
 
If we had Savard as our #3 centre, our #3 centre would definitely be more superelite than the Sens' #3 centre....and cheaper, too.
 
Gagne makes our 2nd line better (assuming Wilson would want to seperate the two snipers)

Savard makes both the 1st and 2nd line better.........he makes the 1st line considerably better by giving it a PPG center, and he makes our 2nd line better, by sliding Bozak into the 2nd line center role, and Kadri to the wing....giving our 2nd line, 3 legitimate 50+ points players.
 
Why, JCY? Because Gagne has just one year left on his deal, and is a better fit for a team with two centers but not enough wingers in the top 6.
