It has been very clear for the past few hours that there's a stir in the NHL trade market, and it seems to be only a matter of hours before Kent Hughes gets involved.

According to TSN 1050 host, Bryan Hayes, the Leafs are truly interested in veteran Savard and would be absolutely ready to trade a first-round pick as of today to acquire him and get him out of Montreal.

Hayes estimates that Savard, with his right shot, an interesting contract, a Stanley Cup ring, and a physical presence, is worth a first-round pick, and he believes the Leafs think the same.

"Bryan Hayes on Sportscentre says that David Savard is worth a first-round pick for the Leafs, shoots right, has a contract after this summer, has a Stanley Cup ring, and brings a physical aspect to his game. He says he's not sure Liljegren can play in the playoffs, but he knows Savard can."
