Value of: David Savard

[JesusNPucks]

I'm not a big Dallas Stars guy, but I thought that Lindell was a decent defenseman, if not a very good defensive one?

why would you trade him for Savard? I'm suspicious

Ha ha—appreciate the honesty. Personally, I value cap space more than I do what Lindell brings to the table. This is especially the case because he will likely be forced out of the top-4 by Harley in short order. That’s the rationale for me.

Hopefully to end the discussion here... Ottawa has only guys playing like #6-7 D-men after Chabot and Zub so they would really need to do something more than any other team.

I wouldn't take David Savard for free

Just fire Ducharme, and bring in John Tortorella.

I'm sure he could learn how to not take questions in french.

Might even be easier if he doesn't understand what the journalist are saying about him and the team.

Win/Win

and risk having Suzuki wanting out? no thanks

 

[KevinRedkey]

There is no amount of 1st round picks that the Sharks could add that would even out that trade. Vlasic is cannon fodder and one of the worst contracts in the league.

I'd take Vlasic if they four 1st were attached. Lol

I mean, Canucks will take him off our hands.

savard sucks real bad. he prob has alot of negative value at this point.

tbh I think he would do average to fine on a good team in their bottom pairing playing max 15 mins per night. Thats where he does his best.

I literally never saw this anywhere - and as a Jackets and Preds fan, that would have caught my notice.

Apparently it didn't catch your notice.

Where he does his best?

he has never averaged 15 min a night on any team in his entire career?

I meant specifically with tbl playing as a bottom 2 avg 15 mins or so

I wanted Savard a UFA for Detroit. I think on the interim he'd make for a good 2nd pair RD. Definitely a defensive upgrade over Hronek.

How about Lindstrom + a 4th for Savard?

 

[samsagat]

We're stuck with him...

Just a bad UFA signing...

Classic arguing with themself. Everyone does this on twitter when they wanna sound like know shit.

people make shit up like that all the time.

Not only nobody ever said that, majority of the habs fan hated the signing and hates it even more now.

Go check out the Dvorak thread before you start making shit up. Get a clue.

Savard from what I have seen has not been very good to start this year,he needs to turn it around for sure as he makes a bit of money

I'm a habs fan and frankly, I tought the signing wasn't bad.

Not too long, not too expensive, the guy's supposed to be good defensively, big guy, physical, RHD, just won the stanley cup...

God was I wrong...

Go check out the Dvorak thread before you start making shit up. Get a clue.

your f***ing point? lol?


we're talking about Savard not Dvorak.

again, proves your making shit up

 

[The Macho King]

They signed a guy who was a #6 to be a #2. I'm shocked at this outcome.

 

[JesusNPucks]

Done.

no take backs

Make the call, then.

Okay. Did so just now. Part II only, for sure, but, that's what was readily discoverable.

At first it was just Habs fans suggesting he'd be a good stand-in because Weber was injured and not able to play effectively anymore:

I am not that sure that Savard is a big downgrade compared to an injured Weber.

Savard replaces Weber (improvement due to weber injuried)

Kind of agree on the most part but Savard is certainly no replacement for Weber

And then came the first "Savard is better than Weber" assertion from... wait a minute, that name looks familiar.

I've even read Savard is better than Weber now.

So, basically, it sure looks to me like you created an absurd strawman out of something otherwise reasonable and now are trying to build an accusatory narrative around it.

He was a #4 in Columbus. When the Wings played CBJ I always thought he was pretty solid defensively, blocked shots, worked hard along the boards and kept his net clear. What's going on in Montreal? And is the problem solely on him being outmatched/played too high?

Do you not want to read or are you not able? I can lead a horse to water but I can't make it drink.

When does a team trade a player right after signing him ? Almost never. Him and Petry aren't getting traded this year. A big maybe if Bergevin gets canned and the new GM does a firesale, but I still have doubts
