He's worse now. He's really slowed down. A second is probably his value now just for his pk work. He's a bottom pairing/pk killing D.

Carrier was out in final minutes of last night's game not Savard.

Teams that could use a bottom pairing RD who can PK include: Minnesota (30th), Calgary (27th), Edmonton (26th), Ottawa (24th), Colorado (22nd) & Utah (18th).

Savard to Utah for 2026 2nd & 3rd round draft picks (they have extra picks) would be a solid deal for both teams, especially with Utah pushing for a playoff spot.

I think his value is situational. If there’s a team out there that needs RD depth and not much on the market, I think he can get a second. I agree with you that he’s unlikely to garner a first.

Hughes said they needed veterans on D when he acquired Carrier. No chance they trade Savard.

They need vets beyond this season. 100% they are trying to deal Savard.

You realise it comes from Renaud Lavoie right

Renaud is good when it comes to players from Quebec

This. Savard is still a vet presence and some what reliable in a limited role. If Montreal wants to make overall progress for the reminder of the season, I think they keep Savard until TDL and only trade him if we are still a bottom team and he don’t show sign of wanting to resign here, which would greatly surprise me.

If someone is paying a 2nd, you deal him and then deal a 4th for a vet like Troy Stecher, or someone else who's a vet and isn't worth much.

 

[HuGort]

Yes, and Dvorak will have interest as a 3rd/4th line guy that can pk. At 50%, he'll be worth his depth player value.

There are teams interested. Toronto fans are talking about him. Minnesota, Dallas, Colorado & Winnipeg will all be interested in adding a 4th line center.

Armia & Savard can both be moved without retaining.

Dvorak can't be moved without retaining.

I would ask for a 2nd for each

He's good when the agents are from Quebec, not just the players. Ex: Pat Brisson, etc...

They won't move Savard to move up from a 4th to a late 2nd. It would have to be the equal of a 1st and Savard would understand.

Dont see him re-signing with Columbus he will test the market

I understand that Savard deserves respect, but please open your eyes. He is the worst D on the team now. He is just too slow for the game. We should not be protecting 34y old vet in a limited role. No extension, we will not get 1st or 2nd for him at TDL.

They will trade Savard AND will get a vet.

Or maybe he acquired Carrier so we still have a vet when we trade Savard at the TDL…

There is no way to know yet. If d are in short supply at the trade deadline a team really needing help could offer more than he is worth.

 

[rahad]

They should send Struble in Laval. Can't remember his last game with us. We should probably trade/claim or call up a 28+ vet to be our #7 D.
Is very surprising/weird to see a healthy Habs for once.

Savard is gone.
