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.
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.
Come to think of it, the whole NHL UFA season has been such a snooze after day 1 ...
The reason its a snooze is because Kovalchuck is holding the NHL hostage right now.
DarrenDreger As of yesterday, all quiet on Kaberle front. Finger will get a chance to stick. If he can't...likely waivers, then AHL.
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.
