Not at all comparable IMO. Chelios had already won a Norris trophy and a Stanley Cup when he was traded to Chicago, and Savard was nearing retirement. Plus Chelios as mentioned was being traded largely because of off-ice issues.Trading Chelios for Savard back then would be comparable to trading Sergachev for Joanathan Drouin today, that kid already has 2 cups and might go on to anchor that D core for many years to come. Cooper calls him a mix of McDonagh and Hedman, another very bad trade done for the wrong reasons.
Drouin and Sergachev were both young with Drouin being 3 years older I think. Drouin for Sergachev was like a lower end Seth Jones for Ryan Johansen.
