There aren’t many players of Savard’s ability that are going to be available. With the recent pick up in play by the Preds, Ekholm and/or Ellis are probably off the table - since both are signed beyond this season the Preds can keep them both and potentially look to make deals next year if they need a rebuild. Goligoski is that top 4 type Dman and I could see him moved, but that’s only 2 legit top 4 guys available for the 16-20 teams looking to make a push in the playoffs. There is potentially other guys that could be made available- Edler has said he would consider a move to a cup favourite, Murray in NJ could be a sneaky good defensive pick up but me typing his name may have put him on the IR so there’s obvious risk. Nemeth and Montour are a couple other guys that could be traded but do they improve teams? So if there are several teams (Florida, Winnipeg, Carolina, Toronto, Boston, off the top of my head) that would like to improve their blue line but there’s only 2-3 players that actual accomplish that, there could be some teams that “over pay”. So I agree league economics will greatly impact trade values, but I wonder if those highly sought after players will still demand high returns at the deadline
