However, some opportunities did present themselves.
Kent Hughes deemed it insufficient to let go of such a valuable veteran.
Kent Hughes refused to trade David Savard
The Jets' interest in the veteran Savard wasn't new.
They were interested in Savard as well as
Carson Soucy, primarily.
"I was told the Jets were interested in Carson Soucy, but David Savard remains their main target to strengthen the blue line.
The Jets are not the only ones in the race."
Cam Robinson
Savard generated a lot of interest yesterday.
Trade details:
To Winnipeg:
Luke Schenn
To Pittsburgh:
2026 2nd-round pick
2027 4th-round pick
But everything indicates they seriously tried to acquire David Savard first.
"There were rumors that the Jets were interested in David Savard. When you see what Schenn fetched for the Penguins.."
Marc-Antoine Godin
Personally, I have no problem with this decision, and I don't see how refusing to trade such a solid veteran like David Savard could harm a rebuild.
We are very happy that he is still a member of the Montreal Canadiens!
