Totally agree on Savard. He is a big part of this team and is a good chemistry guy. Leads by example sacrificing his body all the time blocking shots. Big presence off the ice, like how he took PLD in to live with his family until PLD got his place to live. I think both goalies appreciate what he does and losing him would adversely effect the goaltending.There is no way I’d sign Murray next year unless it’s for a song. He’s a good play, but the reliability just isn’t there.....Who I would resign is Savard. Yes, he’ll be older which is a concern, but he so relies on a positional game that I think he’ll be fine. And he and Gav together are arguably a better defensive D-pairing than Jones and Zach.
Add Peeke and Nuti/Nuti (anticipating one will be packaged out) as the bottom pairing (Harry the 7th man) and you’re set.
