Buzz: Marc Savard?

by Adam Rotter on September 2nd, 2010 at 3:27 pm

In his blog at Newsday, Steve Zipay decides to fire up some speculation in regards to Marc Savard who has been rumored to be being shopped by the Bruins.

Savard’s contract is also under investigation as Larry Brooks noted this morning.

Zipay throws out names like Matt Gilroy, Sean Avery and a 2011 second round pick as pieces that he speculates Boston could be interested in.

….Again, speculation on his part, but what team is going to want to take on Avery?

…I wonder how Brad Richards feels about Zipay writing about another Center for the Rangers since Richards name always comes up when Zipay writes even though Richards has said he wants to stay in Dallas.

I have been against Savard because of his contract being a bit of a burden, but his style of play would fit a need for the team.

    howabout rozi, dubi, and a 2nd rounder

    I would be OK with that deal too. I don’t think Duby is going to pan out to be anything more than a 3rd line center. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but some people around here think he will be a savior. I hope he proves me wrong, I am rooting for the kid for sure. If it doesn’t pan out this year, more people are gonna be saying the same.

    If they trade Gilroy and Avery, I’m never getting another customized jersey again.

    What do you think adam?

      I like Savard as a player but he is signed for seven years and committing that much to a guy in his 30′s with concussion problems isn’t in the best interest of the team. If he was signed shorter term I think I would go for it, but not for the next seven years

        I wouldn’t call one concussion, “concussion problems.”

        Savard is one of the premier centers in the league and I think he has a very manageable cap hit. I would love to have him. He would instantly make our team better.

        However, I wouldn’t touch him until this whole circumnavigating the cap thing is over. Wouldn’t want the Rangers getting screwed on a deal b/c Savard’s contract gets voided or something like that (not going to happen).
