David Savard trade: the defenseman breaks his silence
At the last trade deadline, David Savard's name was frequently mentioned, and it was learned that Kent Hughes preferred to keep him as his asking price wasn't met.
Indeed, Savard holds significant value for the organization and won't be traded cheaply. Just look at his performance with Arber Xhekaj at the end of the season-Savard was never better on the ice.
With many young players developing, such as Logan Mailloux, Lane Hutson, and David Reinbacher, Savard's days in Montreal are numbered, and he knows it well.
His role is crucial moving forward. Young players are emerging, but they need strong support, and David Savard meets all the criteria perfectly.
David Savard trade? Not so fast
Personally, I don't think Kent Hughes will trade him before the deadline unless he receives an offer he can't refuse.
David Savard is a reliable defenseman who blocks a lot of shots and sacrifices himself for the team daily. He's an extraordinary warrior and mentor.
Of course, the Canadiens can't keep him forever, and that's understood, but timing his departure wisely is essential, without rushing things.
