Rumor: Columbus shopping David Savard

[TheGroceryStick]

Is it safe to say VGK and CLB are positioning.

I think Krug is plan B for both

Columbus needs PP help but at the same time they still have Werenski-Gavrikov-Kukan on the left side. Doubt he is on the radar but I guess it has been a crazy couple of days

 

[BKarchitect]

Avs please. Former Blue Jacket. Done deal. Fits that veteran, reliable and versatile second pair defenseman who makes in the $4 million range but has no long term commitment ideal to a tee.

 

[MoeBartoli]

I’m sure they are fielding calls for Savard as he has only one year left in his deal. But the only way I could see them adding Petrangelo is if they are going to use Werenski as the trade piece for a top line scorer such as Laine. And I’m not sure how it’d work based on the cap. So I’m left thinking Petro is not in the Jackets plans.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If Dubas can get this done then between him and Simmonds that's a pretty good off season

 

[Halla]

This has Toronto written all over it.

sure. if murray cost a 5th savard should come in the 3-4 range

Unfortunately, the Brodie signing prevents that.

I think Savard could still be worked. Some combination of AJ/AK and Dermott would need to be shipped out for picks though.

Savard is a waaaaay better fit than Brodie IMO.

Flyers could think about but guessing Columbus trades out of division.

2 of AJ Dermott Kerfoot needs to be shipped now before adding more salary.

 

[David71]

vancouver should be all over this.

That doesn’t seem all that hard to do. Especially if we are trading for someone like Savard.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Sutter+2nd?

Lets try again.
Cap 81.5m
Leafs at 82.6m now. Barabonov 925k and another 750k f roster player=84.3m
Dermott still not signed so say 1.75m there.
86 m and over cap by 4.5m.
2 of Dermott, AJ, Kerfoot have to go BEFORE you even think about adding another 4.5m for Savard(ergo 9m would have to be cut off).

You forgot Mikheyev so add another 1.25 million or so.

 

[Dr Danglefest]

Has Columbus done anything with the cap that they opened up or was that for PLD Domi Werenski and Jones extensions this year and next?

 

[ViD]

Savard might be traded if we reach an agreement with Pietrangelo

 

[BHD]

Is Columbus a potential landing spot for Hall? I don’t think JK would make these moves if he wasn’t going to sign a big name player.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It probably won't happen now after signing Brodie but if rhey could somehow find a way to make it work Savard would be amazing.

Savard Rielly

Brodie Muzzin

again won't likely happen but if they could somehow find a way to make it work that would be a fantastic top 4

I’m expecting him to sign a few guys like Toffoli, Vatanen and Caggiula not Petro or Hall

Savard + ____ for Nylander?

Savard doesn't have the necessary term

And I’m just saying the kind of players Toronto would have to move out if we were to make another move wouldn’t be that hard to move.
We have 4 very expensive forwards but outside of that we don’t really have bad contracts. We have tons of flexibility.

 

[gabeliscious]

Savard + ____ for Nylander?

Would be a hefty +. I would think Dubas would be working on werenski if he was talking nylander not savard.

Leafs would love savard. Leafs would probably offer johnsson + picks or prospects. I cannot see jackets looking to discuss werenski so i dont think nylander is a starting point
