Have you actually watched him play this season? I've watched every CBJ game when they're not going at the same day/time as the Leafs and Savard has looked like garbage both from an eye test standpoint and advanced stats standpoint. He's usually the slowest player on the ice, has terrible defensive positioning, and provides almost nothing offensively. If this was Savard from a couple seasons ago I would be all for acquiring him but this season he just plain stinks.
Let's just say for the heck of it Dubas thinks Savard and Foligno at the TDL is the answer. What combo of picks/prospects/retention/cap hits/etc are you going to come up with to add the $9.75m combined cap hits to the Leafs?
