yeah I would.
There is a reason Boston is shopping Savard instead of their young C's like Krecji and Bergeron. why should we oblige them and take on that risky asset? Particularly when we aren't anywhere CLOSE to competing for anything significant.
First of all, Boston is not shopping Savard, secondly he is only one year older than Kaberle. Thirdly how is it that we are nowhere near to competing for anything significant? We have one of the best D cores in the game, much improved goaltending, and a young forward core that is growing and getting better everyday. Lets say, hypothetically that we dealt Kaberle for Savard, are you honestly telling me we aren't a playoff team?
Kadri - Savard - Kessel
Kulemin - Bozak - Stalberg
Phaneuf - Komisarek
Gunnarsson - Schenn
Beauchemin - MVR
Gustavsson
Giguere
Must be some real great teams in the EAST for the above roster to not be a playoff team....And this is excluding the inevitable UFA signings Burke will make.
and then someone drops a bomb on savard and he is concussed for the remainder of the season and his career is potentially over. Then what? This guy is a massive risk. I could care less about kaberles age too, I don't think he is anything close to what he use to be.
And you really think we are close to competing for a cup eh? I don't see the playoffs as being significant because we have no chance of competing with the big dogs. Probably a first round bounce.
Why not use our most valuable trading asset to try and improve us now AND down the road?
Once again, if the rumours are true (which they aren't as confirmed by le brun on twitter) why should toronto take the player that Boston wants to shed over their younger guys like Bergeron and Krejci? There would have to be a pretty good reason to move "superstar" savard over those guys, I mean fuck, that team is WAY closer to competing for a cup then WE are and by trading savard they IMO take a step backwards.
