Former Boston Bruin Marc Savard Moved Again
Former Boston Bruin Marc Savard has once again been moved. The 37-year old forward hasn’t played in a NHL game since 2011, and is still battling post-concussion issues. This time around the Florida Panthers moved Savard to the New Jersey Devils. The Devils traded Paul Thompson and Graham Black in order to get the rights to Savard’s contract. The Devils also acquired the Panthers’ second-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft.
Savard is in the final year of his seven-year deal that he signed with the Boston Bruins. Savard’s $28 million dollar contract made him an expensive but worthy member of the Black and Gold as they fought to win the Stanley Cup that year.
