If I'm a buyer, I'd love to bring in Savard. Ideally on 3rd pairing but can move up or down the D-corp and fill in for injuries. Good experience + cup-winning play. No way I want to pay a first but a late 2nd + a prospect far in the depth chart? Sign me up. Actually, if I lose on the bidding of the guy I really want and need to settle for Savard, I'd go as high as late first for Savard + 2nd.
I'd like Allen as a backup, never would I put my Stanley cup window on this guy but hey if he gives me 1 win out of 16, I'd gladly give a 3rd for him
I'd also like to acquire Armia. He scored some big goals in the playoffs some years ago. This year, he rode the bus to Laval and never complained so if I can get him for a 3rd, I'd probably do it. Worst case, I just don't dress him and he doesnt hurt the team. Best case, he gives me 5ish goals on limited time including a shortie in 20ish games.
Christian Dvorak? Pass. Don't see a need anywhere. Maybe if I have one of his junior buddy (like Tkachuk or Marner) on my team and want to give him an extra boost. Maybe if I owe a favour to his dad for previously signing on the cheap 20+ years ago...
