Ironically Savard is they least useful of these pending UFAs.

Doesn't mean he isn't useful. Playoff time you'd be glad to have him.

scott-bluenoser.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Agreed but I don’t think they have to sign or trade him by the deadline.
No doubt at this stage of his career he will sign in the summer for a team friendly deal.

Understood, but nonetheless Savard (IMO) is the lowest priority in terms of needs for the upcoming season.

Assuming Guhle comes back strong, Reinbacher and/or Mailloux (maybe even Engstrom) can graduate to NHL...

I would think a team like the Leafs who consistently fail to do the little things needed to win in the playoffs would be much better with a guy like Savard on the back end. He would be so valuable for them. The type of difference maker needed to win. Saying that I DO NOT want to see him there.

They won't get him.

Savard has done a great job for Habs: blocked shots, physical play, cup winner's mentoring, all-around good guy.

BUT years have caught up to him.

His slowness is now a big enough problem that it outweighs all those qualities. Even at minimum salary, MTL has better options for 2025-2026.

Savard still has value for contender this Spring is the point... Might only be PK but there is value. Not saying moving forward there aren't better options but someone trying to win a cup this year could use him.
