Arizona's not trading their 1C for that

Wayne simmonds on the 3rd line is........hopeful

More LTIR nonsense. It's one year of Savard for 4 controllable years of Kapanen. Leafs pass especially when the Kapanen's replacement is Simmonds (it's 2020)
Don't like Dvorkak trade for the Leafs either. Rather have Kerfoot and the Leafs are depending on LIljegren long term.

CBJ might accept, hard to say, they don't really have a RW problem.

Cam
Bjorkstrand
Bemström

If he was a LW probably a better deal. But they might take it.

So what if it was Johnsson instead? He left wing and is similar to Kapanen

I don't think the value is there on Johnsson. They could do better moving Savard.
This team really needs better centers. A real 2C. Not that they are going to find it. But you are looking at a team that's best 2C center next year is either going to be Texier or Foudy.
The one that isn't the Center will be on the LW. If things don'w work out they are probably both on LW. With Jenner and Foligno as center. And that doesn't spell win for CBJ.

Most likely the LW will be
Nyquist
Tex or Foudy
Foligno

I don't see Johnnson as worth 3.4 million and savard as an improvement there.

I'm sure they would do it for a kap like player on the LW. But he isn't that.

Fair enough

Columbus needs a 2nd line center. Savard would help us get that. Columbus really has no value on Kapanen with Anderson, Atkinson, Bjorkstrand and Bremstrom already currently on the team.
