Rumor: Columbus shopping David Savard

[ViD]

When does it end?

Jarmo never sleeps

 

[Peter Griffin]

If they trade savard they will get good value on him
This isn’t a always injured Murray or a nice bottom pair dman in Nutivaara

I’d imagine at least a 2nd.

 

[Viqsi]

What do you expect coming back in a trade?

I don't have the heart to speculate. He should be considerably more valuable than the guys we just lost, but...

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If dubas doesnt get him I'll be pissed.

Offer a 2nd+AJ and see if the jackets have interest. If that's not enough change AJ to a solid prospect (abramov/SDA/Kral). Work out a deal for AJ later even if it's at a loss in value.

Get savard and sign him to an extension right away. Come on dubas

They way he's dumping salary you can probably get him for a 3rd

Seriously what is Columbus doing? At this point if they don’t pull off a huge UFA later today what’s the status of their owner and his finances?

 

[Deku]

I really dont want to see him dealt. Would have to think the Leafs and Jets should be all over this though.

 

[Mrfenn92]

I’d imagine at least a 2nd.

For sure. Maybe a bit more don’t think a first considering age and contract length but a second and something else.

This has Leafs written all over it

 

[IranCondraAffair]

You would think they'd want another defenseman coming back in the trade, no?

I mean, even if they sign Pietrangelo, is the plan just to roll with Kukan/Gavrikov and Carlsson as 4-5-6? What if someone gets injured. Do they really like Peeke or something?

 

[ViD]

It’s either a crazy gamble or Jarmo has a verbal agreement with Hall or Pietrangelo. It had better be the latter

 

[awegrzyn]

What are the odds Columbus is doing this just to dump money under strict orders from ownership? Not being a jerk, genuinely asking.

It does look like that, and I think many teams will have to do it, or we will have a LOCKOUT. Something has to give. The CAP grew exponentially and it was detached from reality. Now reality will have to sink in with empty arenas. Players will be paid proportional to what teams make. No more fantasy. Truth hurts.

Yea... they kinda do...

Harrington's still in the system, and Peeke has indeed been good early. Beyond that, though... IDKWTF.

NJ has another fifth.

Jones - Werenski
Pietrangelo- Gavrikov
Peeke - Kukan
Harrington

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Seriously Dubas better JUMP at this, because the way Columbus is dumping Salary Savard isn't costing a 1st or a top prospect he can be had on the cheap.

I'm not the biggest fan of Holl but if Holl MUST stay

Savard Rielly

Holl Muzzin

looks pretty good to me

I don't like Holl but he works with Muzzin

 

[jacketsnation]

We're not signing pietrangelo

Doubt they trade savard!

Hopefully signing hall same agent as Anderson and domi

Just ask Torts what he thinks of Jarmo

 

[Jannik Hansen]

Can I get a Savard scouting report? He’s pretty good defensively and has some physicality right?

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Jones - Werenski
Pietrangelo- Gavrikov
Peeke - Kukan
Harrington

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but money aside (and I think they'll probably end up pretty close anyway), I think

Jones - Werenski
Savard - Murray
Nutivaara - Gavrikov
Peeke - Kukan

Is probably a better defense corps.

The first one has a lot of eggs in one basket that can get derailed with a single injury.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Would be kinda funny if he goes to the Leafs after listening to all the whining about their first round draft pick not being a Defenseman.

 

[Sota Popinski]

You do realize Hoffman is a more prolific goal scorer right?

You do realize Hall won a Hart Trophy, right?

 

[TSA0402]

Jones - Werenski
Pietrangelo- Gavrikov
Peeke - Kukan
Harrington

I hope you are right.. historically CBJ hasn't landed a big fish like Pietrangelo. Canadian following the money/contender probably has other options.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Seems like the perfect partner for Rielly

Rielly - Savard
Muzzin - Holl

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Dermott & Kerfoot +
