*-> Alexander Semin has been resigned by the Washington Capitals this morning. The deal is worth 6.7$ million dollars for only one season but should silence the many rumors going forward this season or does it......
*-> The rumors haven't ended yet and several new ones have surfaced this morning after the signing. One rumor is saying that this could be a sign and trade on the part of the Washington Capitals as the club interested was worried Semin wouldn't be a for sure thing for next season as their team still needs time to grow. The team is believed to be the Los Angeles Kings looking to add instant offense to their young squad. Another team that was interested was the Nashville Predators. A crazy rumor sending Shea Weber to the Capitals for their first round draft pick and Alexander Semin and a depth player recently hit the internet. I'm not buying ether but anything could happen.
*-> After Marc Savards most recent hit to the head many are speculating that Marc Savard may indeed retire. The Boston Bruin star recently was hit by former teammate Matt Hunwick in Colorado and was flown home immediately right after for safety precautions. Some are saying that Savard's post concussion syndrome is so severe he may have to take time away from hockey to recover including a possible retirement. The team announced this morning he most likely wont be back this season and will remain at home to recover.
The second part of this post surrounds the rumors that have taken off from the latest Savard injury. Many are saying because he was flown home from Colorado he most likely isn't suffering from a concussion as doctors wouldn't allow a patient with a concussion to fly. Another question mark is that Savard didn't seam woozy and was well aware after the hit and seamed to favor his face more than anything else as he rolled around on the ice. Some are speculating that he may have suffered a severe facial injury instead. It's hard to tell what actually happened but I doubt a team would play up a concussion when concussion's and head shots are the talk of the NHL. It also decreases their players value significantly so anybody speculating that this could be a trade ploy should shake their heads. If they are hiding another injury it doesn't make much sense ether as many teams would rather take a facial injured player over a concussed player. The extent of his injury is far too serious to play up the severity and if they are shame on the Bruins organization. I have much on Savard's possible retirement but still no sign of if there's truth to it. As for flying on the plane? I'm not a doctor so I really cant comment but if he has post concussion syndrome I do believe you can fly still. Ether way best wishes to Savard and his family for a speedy recovery and a return to the game in the near future.
