The Quebec defender is not only one of the pillars of the defense for the Canadiens, but a true leader among this young defensive brigade and we can talk about a real bargain, he earns an annual salary of 3.5 million dollars.
That said, as reported by the site Habsolumentfan.com, there is a team that would really like to count on the services of the veteran.
In an article recently published on the site The Athletic, journalist Saad Yousuf launched the idea that the Dallas Stars need David Savard in their defensive squad
In fact, the journalist went through an exercise in which he made his wishes for each of the 32 NHL teams and the Stars, it is the addition of another right-handed defender.
Here are his explanations:
And the name of David Savard is immediately mentioned afterwards.
Interesting remarks from Yousuf, except that one can wonder if Kent Hughes intends to trade his defensemen. We can quickly presume that he does not because the Canadiens is in an excellent position, for the moment, in obtaining a spot in the playoffs and if the team's successes continue up to the trade deadline, it could be that the former player agent is more of a buyer than a seller.
In addition, as there is another year of contract left for Savard, Hughes could afford the luxury of being very greedy in his demands towards other teams.
Some sources even speak of several draft picks, including a 1st round and a 3rd round.
However, if the Canadiens wants to put all the chances on his side to hope to participate in the playoffs, Martin St-Louis will certainly need number 58 in his lineup, who has been on fire since his return to the game.
