A major rumor involving David Savard has just been confirmed: acquiring a 1st round pick in exchange is a real possibility
It's even more obvious since his return to the game, but David Savard really proves that he can make a big difference in a lineup.
He is very useful to the Montreal Canadiens, and the team has considerably more chances of winning games when he is in the lineup.
Precisely because he is valuable, precisely because with the return of Jordan Harris, there is congestion in defense, more and more experts are talking about the possibility of trading David Savard, as early as this season.
But what is he worth, exactly? David Pagnotta was talking yesterday about a return similar to Ben Chiarot a few years ago. (three picks including a 1st rounder)
Knowing this, would it be better to trade him at a very high price? Or do we keep him anyway to help the young players progress and lose him "for nothing" in a few years?
Pierre LeBrun just added to it and confirmed that defenders of this kind are indeed currently worth a 1st round pick.
Pierre LeBrun, who is here talking about Chris Tanev, a defender very similar to David Savard"
We could even say that Savard is worth more, because he has a better contract than Tanev. This therefore confirms the rumor that Kent Hughes could really have a 1st round pick for Savard, like for Ben Chiarot!
It's really to be considered!
