These deals don't make any sense for Ottawa.
Savard is a rental, and he's not a piece that makes any sense for the Sens long term. He's too old to make sense as a long time piece for Ottawa, and as long as Ottawa still has Zaitsev's deal there's just no room. Zub will likely get more of a top 4 role going forward from this year, and Ottawa has Jacob Bernard-Docker who should be ready for regular NHL action once he turns pro.
Also Virtanen is just not good enough to make any sense for Ottawa. He's not better than Batherson-Dadonov-C.Brown on the right side, and he's shown throughout his career he isn't committed enough to be an effective player in a 4th line role. I probably wouldn't claim him on Waivers, let alone give up quality assets for him.
