There’s a lot of talk about Jake Evans’ future these days – and with good reason.
But we must not forget that the CH, which is currently in a position to make the playoffs, will have decisions to make concerning other players who can attract other clubs.
You lot? David Savard.
Savard, compared to Evans, has less future in Montreal. We probably expect to see him play elsewhere in 2025-2026… especially since Alexandre Carrier was traded to the Canadiens.
But even if Carrier is there, that doesn’t mean that CH, in the middle of the playoff race, wants to trade him.
That doesn’t mean either that with his injury history and his salary, teams are going to rush to give money to Kent Hughes, who is not going to trade his veteran for the simple pleasure of sending him elsewhere. .
In short, the file is complex.
But that won’t stop teams from calling in the 514 to see if Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton are open to letting the veteran, who is really enjoying it at home, go.
And on this subject, Pierre LeBrun brought up a name that often comes up in conversation for Savard: the Oilers.
Alongside a move to the segment TSN Early TradingLeBrun mentioned that the Oilers weren’t specifically looking for a particular type of defenseman to improve.
-But he still said that if the club wanted a defensive right-handed defender, Savard was an option… without naming anyone else.
Certainly, in my eyes, David Savard is on the Oilers roster. – Pierre LeBrun
This isn’t the first time Savard has been linked to the Oilers, a club in need of help on the blue line. But under current conditions, I don’t know if he will really be traded. It’s too early to tell.
We will see what the situation dictates in due course.
In burst
– A name to watch.
– The best Canadian scorers since December 2 are not all in the 4 nations. Ouch.
– Interesting.
– File to follow.
