As title states, how many points do you think Marc Savard will have this season? And who will he play with on what line? |

With PIT, at least Staal could get some very good minutes as a 3rd line C, and Malkin can double on the wing giving Staal more time in a more prominent role.
BOS has Savard, Krejci, Bergeron, and Seguin at C. 4 centres that would be 3rd-line-or-better on any other team. That is a lot harder to juggle. I see that BOS has already started putting Seguin on the wing, they have obviously recognized their own dilema.
The Canucks are in a similar situation with Hodgson, when he is ready to make the big team - Hank, Kesler, Malhotra at C, where do they slot in Hodgson? My guess is they'll do the same as BOS and try him at wing. |

It has worked for Pittsburgh, Why can't it work for Boston who have more wing and defense power the Pittsburgh had last year.

chef - Horton and Lucic are playing with Krejci, not Bergeron. And you're right, the Horton/Lucic/Krejci line have been lighting it up all year, they're a very good line.

I'll tell you what - as a good-natured enemy of the Bruins faithful, from what I have seen, Bergeron is much better suited as a second line center. Savard is pure offense and playing with the two big guys would be perfect . . . Bergeron is a solid defensive center with offence to boot, put him up against the other team's top lines and for important face-offs. In the end, the difference in minutes would be pretty minimal I think.
My guess is Savard comes back after Christmas, and scores in the lower range of 31-40 points in 45 games. But as many here have stated, it really dependes on how he looks for the first few games to get a good guage of the situation.

0. He, Andre Markov and Sheldon Souray will team up to open a mildly successful used car dealership. Their commercials will be awesome. Anyhow, what is Boston doing with their lines? Do you think the long term plan is to keep that first line together or get Savard in the middle? |

He will be lucky to get a point before he gets injured again, Bandaid! |

Don't doubt that he can get 71+ points this season while playing a bit more then half the year. Horton and Lucic have proved to be beast. But my guess would be 31-40 it is the most likely.

I'll formulate an opinion when he actually suits up for a game |

This of course is a loaded question, as a return date hasn't been determined if it happens at all. That being said, if he was to return in mid Dec, with no ill effects, I could see him in the 41 and up range. Boston has to many guns at it's disposal for it not to happen. Ryder's resurgence, Horton's pace, Lucic back in form, Chara's cannon, Seguin? Wheeler could benefit large, Bergy would be in there. I just think if all is good, he can't help but be a force. |

I say he'll have 31-40 and play on a line with Lucic and Horton
There was once a license plate in Toronto that abbreviated "Go Leafs" it read "Golfs". |
