Player Discussion David Savard

[Tyson]

He was fine in the 1st game against Toronto. He had block of cement for feets against the Bruins and was still slow skating against the Sens too. The Penguins game was his worst at the decision making level so far.

So was the right move to trade Savard and keep Kovy ?

An argument can be made

An argument can also be made that 31 teams slept on Mark Kastelic. Or maybe we can just wait January to come to those conclusions?

You believe Kovy would look good in this shitshow?

Never talked about looking good, but an argument could be made as if

Kovy > Savard

in this shitshow

Should have moved fatso last year when he somewhat had value, now he is going to fetch another one of the Pitlick boys at this rate.

The bigger the shitshow the more important it is too have that veteran experience. Savard might have lower highs compared to Kovacevik but he's also going to have higher lows. So for this team I have little doubt that Savard is the better fit, and this is from someone who wanted us to keep Kovacevik as the 7th D and have Struble get sent down to start the year.

I haven't watched any games so far and I see that Savard hasn't played very well. Has he had any good games?

Zero chance he gets extended like some suggested during the off season. Lot of mileage on him. Injuries and blocked shots. Moved at deadline is my prediction. Veteran D usually return overpayment at deadline
