In a situation that’s becoming increasingly more shrouded in mystery, Marc Savard’s agent Larry Kelly mentioned the word ‘lawsuit’ while speaking to an Ottawa radio station on Thursday. According to Sportsnet.ca (sorry, no audio available immediately), while commenting on the possibility of the NHL revoking his client’s contract with the Boston Bruins that began on July 1, 2010, Kelly uttered the words: “You can imagine the lawsuit that would ensue,”.

Kelly also didn’t mince words when referring to the runaround that he believes his client and several other NHL stars are receiving from commissioner Gary Bettman et al:

“I’d really like to see a true-commissioner -style , someone who has the best interest of the game in mind rather than the situation they have now… Bettman is (more like) the president of the league and he clearly is on the owners side on every issue. I really think it should be a commissioner. With a commissioner you have somebody who is totally independent and I think it would be a much less acrimonious situation.”
