Leaf Rumours

The whole waiver scare tactic might be to try and shake up the trade partner scene too.

Make your move or we'll dump this guy on the waiver market and you can take your chances.
 
Burke says hes looking for a winger, that rules Savard out. Gagne is winger, so he could be an option, if the leafs decided to pickhim up.
 
That's precisely what Savard is.

He's played at 97, 96, 86, and 88 point paces the four years prior to his injury filled 09/10.

I can't ignore Savard's injury filled 09/10, just like I can't ignore Gagne's injury filled 09/10.

If I were to ignore it for both, then I'd have to upgrade Gagne significaintly from that 30gl/70pt level.

You can judge Gagne however you please....I was simply using your totals for him. If you see him as a 30/70 player don't change your opinion simply because I value Savard more.



Savard's a 20-25/90 player.
 
DarrenDreger As of yesterday, all quiet on Kaberle front. Finger will get a chance to stick. If he can't...likely waivers, then AHL.

meh.

I took into account the diminished injured production for both.

you're obviously ignoring Savard's injured production completely, in which case, you should do the same for Gagne.

Remember, though, even if we ignore last year for Savard completely, his previous two seasons he actually played at a 21gl/87pt pace, so he was likely better described as a 20gl/85pt guy even BEFORE last year's down injured season.

25/90 is the very best case scenario for Savard - and at age 33, coming off a major concussion, I wouldn't bank on it.

Not really......last year was the first time Savard's had any real injury issues in any of the past 5 seasons.

Gagne's missed nearly have a year, two out of the past three years.

I've no issue calling him a 20/85 guy.
 
All of you have to understand something you all will never understand. Nothing is going to happen that will make Toronto fans happy.

Its all an illusion, its all bullshit and Leafnation, soon after realizing it, manifested into a team, miami, that signed the big three.

Ugh. He doesn't deserve any more chances. He has adequately proven that he sucks. Waive him already, he's the last painful reminder of the mistakes that went before.
 
Leafs fan on Twitter: What do you think it would cost the Leafs to land Savard?.....any indication as to what they'd be looking for in return?

MurphysLaw74: Kaberle and another defenseman (probably prospect)



Leafs fan: does that mean the reports of the Bruins dealing Savard in a 'soft deal' (to save cap space) aren't quite accurate?

MurphysLaw74: Yes.

Sorry Chia, you're not getting Kaberle for Savard under these circumstances.
 
Murphy did say that the Leafs and Bruins have had discussions about a Savard trade though....(guessing that means the meeting last week, did in fact take place, despite us never hearing about it)



...and that a deal between the two teams is plausible.
