Let's get Stuart signed and see what the cap situation is. I really, really, don't want to trade Savard. He's relatively affordable, and with a team good enough to win now, trading him to get Seguin third line minutes at center makes the team worse. Why anybody wants to trade our best offensive player when we were 29th or so in goals is beyond me.

Concerning the overload at the center position, out of Savard, Bergeron, and Krejce, I would trade Bergeron. Savard is the team's best offensive player, Krejce is the best two-way center on the team right now, and Bergeron I think is a totally different player after his head injuries.
I think he's the most expendable as well. It's sad too, because he looked like he was going to be a terrific 2nd line center for a decade or so. Those injuries hampered him.
McQuaid's possible upside?
''A top two shutdown defenseman,'' said Chiarelli, his laugh underscoring the whimsy of his statement. ''Right now, I think he's close to [being a third-paring NHL defenseman]. With the defense position, it's a hard craft to learn with all the new rules, but Adam is showing he can learn it. It's looking like he can be a NHL player in very short order, and he may progress from there.''
