OP's offer is horrid but David Savard would be of interest to the Leafs for a fair deal. I don't care for Monahan

David Savard (@50% retained).....whats the cost there?

Also can habs fans explain why David Savard's physicality has decreased? By physicality i mean his body checks and hits. Is it injuries?

Montreal is already retaining on Petry for next season. I doubt Hughes is interested In using up another retention slot for 2 years unless the return is substantial. It's probably not worth it to Toronto to overpay to save $1.75m in cap

I don't believe the Habs have an interest in using there last retention spot unless some team makes it worth our wild.

If the Leafs were willing to deal their first for a rental defenceman, they'd do it for Tanev. There have been no ties to Savard.

They could do worse. Savard is the kind of defenseman you need in the playoffs and he's signed next year as well. The Leafs would be getting more bang for their buck.

2.5 week old crow is even better. Habs fans hear all this nonsense BS all the time. It takes time to find all those who disparaged us and as usual were proven WRONG!

It's funny how some posters feel threatened when their supposed all encompassing knowledge gets exposed. If you dish it out be prepared to take it as well, otherwise don't bother posting your opinion.

He's not as good as Tanev, Leafs need a top 4 D. not more bottom pair guys.

Savard is 33 already, I'm not even sure he gets a first. A first and a second is dreaming in Technicolor, I would think.

It all depends on the market.

Yeah seemed like a troll post at first but i get it as a habs fan you have to be optimistic about trades for your own player. And we've seen crazy trades happen so who knows.

But at first sight thats a ridiculous price for Savard

One thing you have to know about Montreal's GM is that he sets a price on players that don't have expiring contracts, and doesn't feel the need to trade them unless he gets what he wants.

So that's part of what is driving all of these high trade values that Habs fans are posting, because we've seen before how he can get what he wants. So it really depends on the market, I think he sets Savard's value as a first, and if he doesn't get it he won't trade him, I would say I am fairly confident in this assessment. Next year is a different story, Hughes will probably take what he can get at that point, but for this season we kind of need him as a stabilizing presence, the team is still lacking in experienced RDs.

The key thing is how Montreal has a very young defense, so keeping a veteran around makes sense; his leadership and experience is valuable as the team has young RD like Reinbacher and Mailloux likely joining the team in the next 12 months.

This is the opposite of the Edmundson situation last season, where Montreal needed to make room for young LD who'd already shown they were ok in the big leagues, and they still got a 3d and a 5th, despite serious ongoing injury concerns.

So, a price of a 1st, as well as a 3d or so for retention, wouldn't be a bad guesstimate of what he does for, if someone steps up (and I'd really rather they don't, and we just get a 2nd in a year for him, as a pure rental)

The Habs GM will do the same as he did with Monahan. Set his price and if he doesnt get it then he will keep the player and try again next year.

Its a win/win for The Habs,....

These sum it up well. Short of an overpay, Savard should be around next year.
