I don’t mind it actually. Better then I was expecting

 

[tazsub3]

nice deal happy with that. LAst year he was better then regular season weber (who was atrocious).

 

[le_sean]

As I said, it was never going to be more than that. Not when you have two comparables on the same team.

 

[Frankenheimer]

So wait that Koivu poster is an insider?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Good contract, same money as chariot and edmundson

 

[Habsfan18]

Would have preferred 3 years but I can live with that aav.

 

[Tyson]

Absolutely could care less...maybe even less than less

 

[JuicyHam]

Ah yes the annual big fella who's "really good defensively" for 3-4 million

 

[KevSkillz4]

Great deal. Can Savard be a top 4 defenseman like with Columbus?

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Gets the Edmundson contract. What this shows me is they either can't get Hamilton or more likely have no faith in their RD prospects ready to step in. I don't blame them.

 

[Tyson]

Puck moving Dmen would be nice

 

[Andy]

Great deal, good defender.

It's a little more of the same considering we have Chiarot and Edmundson, but Savard is reliable and overall solid.

I think people skeptical about this will have to eat their words. He'll quietly deliver good defending on most nights (no player is perfect for 82 games).

 

[Tuggy]

Happy with the deal. 3.5 is less than I was expecting.

 

[Seb]

SakuKoivu11 called it

 

[Big Empty]

Great contract.

6’2 RHD who can log heavy minutes, just won a cup, and is from Montreal.

3.5M is really solid.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Meh deal , still doesn't fix our needs

 

[Gustave]

A SOLID contract, well within the hierarchy. Saves our 5-6 pairing from total humiliation.
Onto the next areas of concern.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Honestly, solid deal!!

 

[Max2]

Excellent signing. He's a solid all around defenseman.Has size as well.

 

[Gustave]

Meh deal , still doesn't fix our needs

Our 5-6 were disastrous and you know it.

 

[le_sean]

Meh deal , still doesn't fix our needs

No need for a solid RD? I guess we want Kulak playing 20 mins a game?

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Fair deal, about the most I would be okay with.

 

[bryan1966]

Like the number at 3.5 , hopefully can get some offensive D , I'm sure our youngsters are not quite ready.

Fantastic cap hit! Fine with term, buyout won't be a heavy burden.
