Savard rumor du jour: Hello Robyn Regehr?

TSN’s Bob McKenzie has tweeted that a deal between the Bruins and Flames involving a straight swap of Marc Savard and Calgary defenseman Robyn Regehr is “a serious consideration for both teams.”

Like many of the Savard rumors to come up in recent days, the deal wouldn’t seem to accomplish the perceived Bruins’ goal to cut costs while also improving the team. Regehr makes slightly more than Savard per year (both make just over $4 million per year). Additionally, both players have provisions in their contracts that would allow them to squash the deal.

It’s worth noting that Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli did say the team could be in the market for another defenseman, but keep in mind a deal for Mark Stuart has yet to be wrapped up.

    Chiarelli missed the ball if he is trading with the Flames for a defensemen. The guy the bruins should have gone after from Calgary on defense is clearly Dion Phaneuf nad he is already in Toronto. Regehr is not worth Savard straight up, Bruins should look for a younger option even if it means packaging something with Savard like Boston’s First Rounder in 2011 or Tim Thomas in the deal. I like Regehr but they should look for a younger player that plays that style from somewhere else.

    The Maple Leafs basically (other minor parts in the deal) only gave up Stajan and Hagman for Phaneuf. That is a joke considering Phaneuf was born in 85 and has his best years ahead of him for sure. Bruins should of traded for Phaneuf with Savard and a second round draft pick. The Flames would have taken that deal over Hagman and Stajan im pretty sure.

    Hey Monday77,

    I may have led you astray there. By “cutting costs” I meant reducing the team’s payroll, as they have virtually no room to go out and sign a decent free agent. They’ve spent a good deal this offseason. Thanks for reading,

    The Flames have made some not so good deals but the Phaneuf deal wasn’t one of them. They were lucky to get a bag of pucks for him.

    NO ONE wants that cancer Dion Phaneuf, Toronto has him and they already cant stand him

  • Ed

    You’re way off Paddy. Why are they making him the team captain if they can’t stand him?

    Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

    Isn’t that fantastic. Hey Robin, good luck bitch. Buffalo will win the cup with or without you. How big is your ego? The Flames have shown they want out and you aren’t grabbing the team who desperately wants you so you can weigh your options? You have no fucking options dickwad. Good luck.
