What's up with the Savard rumors?

Darren Dreger seems to think that Bruins star center Marc Savard is available and on the trading block, first off Savard is signed for a very long time through the 2016-2017 season and a no trade clause for the 2010-2011 season. You have to wonder if Dreger is a leaf’s fan with a case of wishful thinking. The deal makes no sense what so ever unless the Bruins are going to replace Savard with another top line offensive player.

Prelude to another deal?

By landing Nathan Horton, the Boston Bruins had to punch a hole in their blueline by including defenceman Dennis Wideman in the deal with the Florida Panthers. This move has sparked speculation that the Bruins may not be done - and some believe Boston may now zero in on Toronto's Tomas Kaberle.

Now Leafs GM Brian Burke and Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli thought they had a trade involving Kaberle and Phil Kessel at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, but the deal was scuttled over confusion as to whether or not draft picks would be included.

Burke has publicly stated he wants a scoring winger as compensation for Kaberle, but according to league sources, star centre Marc Savard is available.

Boston and Toronto have yet to re-open talks involving Kaberle, but it's likely the Bruins will express interest and if Savard is in play, why wouldn't the Maple Leafs consider reuniting him with Phil Kessel?
