"We told Marc we are not moving him and he is part of the organization," Chiarelli told ESPNBoston.com.

Suit threatened if Marc Savard contract is voided (SportingNews.com)
Boston Bruins center Marc Savard has had enough with speculation over whether the NHL might void his seven-year, $28 million contract. His agent, Larry Kelly, on Thursday threatened to sue the league if the deal is rejected. Savard signed his extension last season, at which time the league OK'd it.

Bruins Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
As the NHL continued to investigate his long-term contract to see if it, like the Ilya Kovalchuk deal, circumvents the league's salary cap, center Marc Savard continued to wonder where he'd be working this season.
And, frankly, that bothered him.
"They hurt me a little bit just because I went to Boston and I helped to build that team back up," Savard told the Ottawa Sun. "I've really tried to work hard with the young guys and being a core player. I was really focused on staying there for the rest of my career.

Lost in the recent uptick in news about Ilya Kovalchuk's contract, questions about Marc Savard's contract remain -- enough of them, it appears, to cause teams to back away from talking to the Boston Bruins about acquiring him. That doesn't mean the Bruins have abandoned the idea. They continue to shop Savard, according to ESPN.com. But in combination with Savard's seven-year, front-loaded contract, potential suitors are seen as having salary cap concerns that would stifle a deal. |
