Wednesday night, a very interesting trade was announced between the Dallas Stars and the Calgary Flames, involving defenseman Chris Tanev.
On Twitter, there was mention that when the Flames traded Elias Lindholm (earlier this year), it completely unlocked the situation with Sean Monahan.
Monahan was traded almost immediately after.
Today, several sources claim that it could do exactly the same thing with Chris Tanev and David Savard.
Will Savard be traded? Good question.
However, we can confirm that Kent Hughes's phone has been ringing a lot since this morning.
He will have to make a big decision soon.
News from David Pagnotta on a transaction involving David Savard
See what he just posted.
"Speaking to some people across the NHL, outside of Montreal, nobody would be surprised if Savard is dealt by deadline day. We'll see if a team convinces MTL to part with him." - David Pagnotta
No, it's not a coincidence that Pagnotta has just communicated this publicly.
So, this will be a big issue to follow in the next few hours, especially after the Chris Tanev trade, but personally, we are really not convinced that trading David Savard is the right solution.
He is good for the young players and his departure can wait!
If a team offers what the Panthers offered for Ben Chiarot two years ago, we would definitely consider it (1st round pick, prospect, and another pick), but we would absolutely refuse any offer that does not include a 1st round pick.
What would you do in this situation?
On Twitter, further discussion and speculation about potential trades involving David Savard are encouraged.
