Clock ticking on Marc Savard contract talks
Marc Savard and the Boston Bruins are having on going contract talks, it seems though that there are some issues for both parties. Continue reading for more on this plus a great summarize on the HHOF, another NHL team in Quebec, Cam Ward and much more.
Time running out for Savard-Bruins pact
The agent for star center Marc Savard says contract talks continue with the Boston Bruins, but time is becoming of the essence.
“We continue to discuss regularly,” agent Larry Kelly told ESPN.com on Monday night at the Hockey Hall of Fame. “Both sides are interested in getting something done. But obviously there are issues we are working through.”
The longer it takes, the closer Savard gets to July 1, when he would become an unrestricted free agent. It’s clear from what Kelly said that the clock is ticking.
Ward injury update
Carolina Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford had a busy day before arriving in Toronto, signing veteran goalie Manny Legace to a one-year, $500,000 deal in the wake of Cam Ward’s injury.
But Rutherford revealed that the Legace signing already had been in the works.
“We had actually been talking to his agent for a couple of weeks prior to this,” Rutherford told ESPN.com. “We were trying to get a little depth at the position. So, as it turned out, it was a necessity.”
