Trade finalized between the Montreal Canadiens and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday: Defenseman David Savard was surprised

The surprise quickly turned to joy as the Québécois rejoiced in the return of his former teammate. According to him, having another veteran defenseman to help the many young players in the organization will not be too much. Savard is not fooled, though; he knows that the chances of playing with Petry again are very slim as a trade is highly plausible in this case.

Savard still has two years left on his contract, valued at $3.5 million per season. Depending on the CH's performance and the progress of the young players, his name could very well appear in rumors at the next trade deadline.

He would be the perfect candidate to help a Cup-contending team. If not at the deadline, it's likely that the chances of seeing him leave next summer, much like Joel Edmundson recently, will be quite high.
