Overpaying for future potential. Good luck with that.

Matt Dumba scratched tonight for trade reasons. I think it’s gonna be him.

Me too. I think Lilgegren goes the other way. He's just not a Tre type dman
Canadiens Trade Deadline: Leafs Inquired About David Savard
There’s interest around the league when it comes to acquiring the services of Montreal Canadiens defenceman David Savard. However, general manager Kent Hughes is in no rush to move the veteran blueliner. “The Habs are okay if they do nothing between now and tomorrow,” said Pierre LeBrun on TSN...

Montreal Canadiens Defensive Dilemma
As for Savard, the Canadiens are looking to receive a healthy return, and given Hughes’ track record of not bowing to pressure, it’s unlikely he’ll accept any deal that doesn’t match his set price.
“Savard is a tricky one,” he said. “He is beloved in that room. When they traded Sean Monahan, it devastated that dressing room. That team is trying to turn it over during the next year or two. And it can’t just be about asset management all the time.”
“I think it’s going to be a pretty interesting discussion within those walls tomorrow. They’re getting calls on him. The Leafs are one of the teams that have enquired about David Savard. But the Leafs, like other teams, are like “We’re not paying that!”. And the Habs are telling other teams “We’re not wavering from that, because we can trade him in a year at the deadline, or the summer, or maybe never,”.
There’s no doubt Savard is one of the most popular players in the Canadiens dressing room, and there’s certainly value in keeping a veteran presence to mentor one of the youngest lineups in the NHL.
On the flip side, emotions aside, he’s a 33-year-old defenceman who is unlikely to improve his value in the next year, which means the Canadiens have to navigate the situation carefully.
Team culture is important, but not at the expense of potentially adding a high-end asset to the organization that could play a big part in the team’s long-term rebuild plans. As we saw last season when interest in forward Josh Anderson was high, perceived value in the NHL can shift considerably from one season to the next.

If Brad adds any more, he's just as delusional as the previous guy. This core is up to it's tricks again.

You guys overrate Lilly like crazy on here. He’s had a really rough season. Might as well move him now before you gotta pay him. Dumba and Zucker for Lilly and?

Brad needs to stand pat. This core doesn't deserve any help. Also if he trades for both guys with any assets, he should be shown the door.
I get that... it just seems the potential is there but I don't know if he has the brains for it.

Having a better coach would help. Anyways we have bigger problems here. Lilly is not close to the top.
He and the rest of the team might not reach their potential with Keefe running the show.
That one hurts. Great pickup

I guess if you had roll dice on who last year Montour can be, Dumba does have the profile. I never really like him when I watch him play though

We are not giving anything of huge value, but the volume of picks going out for players who don't move the needle seems like a waste.
Not to mention all of these picks going out to fix complete misses in the offseason signings.

Edmundson in the building probably thinking "damn this team really needs me"
