Savard, 33 years old, has accumulated 8 points, including three goals, in 17 games this season with the Habs. He is signed for $3.5 million per season until 2025.
His name is increasingly coming up in trade rumors, as he could be involved in the same type of trade as Ben Chiarot two years ago. A situation to follow.
