David Savard makes a bold statement about an upcoming trade and makes a comment that speaks volumes about his love for the club

'There are a lot of young players in the organization. I think it's a good idea to build with a strong defense. When you look at winning teams, they always have a strong defense. Certainly, at some point, there will be a logjam. Expect some players to be traded. They are well-positioned to make moves if needed.'

'My role has changed. I try to set a good example. I want to give everything I can to the young players. I'm talking about the knowledge I've acquired over the years. I loved my role last year. I'm not foolish. I know the youngsters are coming up and they will push for more minutes. It's up to them to take the spot. My goal is to stay here as long as possible.'

'We are building something solid. Everyone has gained experience. We had many young players on the team. We need to win even more games and go in the right direction. Our goal is to compete every match. You never know where it can lead us. Our expectations are rising, as a group.'
