So if Calgary gets Savard it will be Tanguay - Savard - Iginla on the first, you think Jokinen will get second line center and Stajan third?...Stajan and Jokinen could be swapped around I suppose but neither is going to like being a third line center...would you place one on the wing for that second line? Have Bourque, Stajan and Jokinen on one line? Then Backlund, Hagman on the thrid with someone and Langkow centering the fourth?

Honestly Sutter signed Jokinen too early, this signing has to be a desperation signing in the case the Savard deal breaks down...

Clearly Jokinen cannot be put on a line with Iginla. Stajan I think showed more chemistry with Iginla than Jokinen did so if Savard isnt traded for than I see it as Tanguay - Stajan - Iginla at the start of the season. It could change but at preseason thats why I suspect will be the first line.

Also I havent heard one thing about White. If they do trade Regehr they kind of have to get White back but that I think requires them to move Staios (which they should anyways) but I dont know who is going to go for Staios without returning that cap, unless he is packaged in with a prospect(s) or pick(s)...

   Darryl Sutter is on the verge of being fired. If the Flames dont produce this season he will be fired in the first half.... he is making desperate moves like resigning Olli Jokinen and an over the hill Alex Tanguy to fix their scoring needs.

   Savard is a risky move considering his concussion, reason y Boston is giving him cheap and other teams r not jumping at the chance. Sutter is the perfect man to take a wild chance. Its now or never for him.

   Now if Savard comes over an thrives without injury Sutter might save his job cause that is their main need a 1st line centre...... but if he bombs due to injury, Sutter will be long gone, however the lames will be screwed for a while.

Sutter himself said he never asked the Bruins about Savard. I really don't think any of these guys know what they're talking about. It might just be pure speculation.

Gauthier should be on the phone to the Blues seeing if they want Hamrlik. He's got one year left on his contract and although overpaid, it gives the blues a chance to have him for a year and maybe get him to want to resign at a much lower rate after this year.

His offensive game isn't what it used to be but he still logged som pretty heavy minutes for Montreal last year when Markov went down and he could really help the Blues young d-men develop.

I don't think it would take too much to get him unless PG wants to keep him for the year for helping our young d, or maybe at least until Injurykov.. errrr... Markov comes back.

I really liked Regehr's game after he paired up with Ian White. I would want a much lower risk than Savard in exchange. Jokinen and Tanguay for Savard I would be OK with though.

Kypreos confirmed that Calgary called in regards to Savard to see if he'd wave his NTC, and the answer was no.

Calgary just signed Alex Tangauy 1 yr 1.7 million. Hope he can get his game going with a return to Calgary. Its not a bad signing he adds some depth and experience for cheap.

Savard for Regehr makes sense i just hope if it does happen Savard is healthy, if he is it will really help Iginla having a legitimate #1 center. I just get an uneasy feeling that Savard might not be the same player before the matt cooke hit. Its a risky trade no doubt.
