Leaf Rumours

I picked Latendresse, because he plays a similar style to Wheeler and because Wheeler had a down season, but I fully expect Wheeler to get anything from $2.75-$3M maybe even $3.25, which will give the Bruins fits.
 
Komisarek, who helped out with Leafs promotional events this week, likes the new additions to the lineup – Colby Armstrong and Kris Versteeg.

“They’re quite the characters. They come in and are already busting chops. We shared a few laughs,” said Komisarek. “I played against Colby a lot. He’s a real pain in the butt to play against. He’s on our side now, so he’s going to help.

“Both these guys are going to help our team out tremendously.

In terms of Versteeg being a character, there’s a video of Versteeg rapping, by the way, on YouTube as part of the Blackhawks Stanley Cup parade.

“My mother showed me it, she’s a little embarrassed, she wasn’t too happy,” said Versteeg. “It was basically just to have fun and let the fans have fun.

“I’ve looked at it, I’m a little embarrassed, but it’s all in good fun.”

Even if the Bruins walk away from the award, didn't we vie for Wheeler when he went UFA only to find he didn't want to sign with us?

I doubt he would now if he goes free again.
 
I would never be happy taking that Savard contract.

And certainly not if I have to give up Kaberle to get it.

**** that would suck.

Savard is worth close to nothing ... I always felt that way, and the Gagne trade confirmed it ... and, Gagne's an UFA after this season, where Savard's got a lot of $$ and years left on his deal. Needless to say, Savard would cost less than Gagne.

And Boston WON'T walk away and let Wheeler turn UFA. They can just as easily trade him.
 
Even a diminished 70-80 point Savard (and not the all-world Adam Oates-esque 90-100 point Savvy he was several years ago) would be a tremendous addition offensively to the Leafs top-lines and give them an elite pivot that they haven't had since Sundin.

yeah but your forgetting that he "sucks"
 
I get that a lot of people are worried about the contract and the possibility that he would play several, if not all of the final three seasons at the marginal real-world price of $500,000, but I just don't see that as realistic. And I understand the concerns over his melon given his concussion history, but this is honestly one of those situations that the Leafs should seriously look into capitalizing upon if they have an opportunity to get him for cheap. As the centrepiece of a Kaberle trade? No way, Jose. For a softer type deal involving supporting pieces and prospects? Hell yes. The team's top six looks infinitely better with his name slotted there between the kids.
