And why exactly would the habs be adding on top of savard when he's already the better piece in the trade

Zero chance Winnipeg does any of these.

The Jets aren't moving Scheifele with the Dubois situation up in the air. You've added the first that it would take to dump Foligno, but 2 years of DeBrusk and a winger prospect aren't enough for a consistent PPG 1C in any situation.

No chance the Jets retain on Wheeler and give up the two best players for a cap dump, a plug and a pick.

The Jets aren't downgrading DeMelo to a cap dump to get a meh bottom sixer.

The trade doesn't make much sense for either sides I'll give you that but better piece? I don't think so.

Savard is better than DeMelo and they get a good prospect in Ylonen what you mean. It's horrible for MTL

He's a better role model, bigger body, better defensive D and had better numbers on a way worse team

Savard has a long contract, and not a good one at that. Not a piece a full on rebuilding team should want. That rebuilding team being the Montreal Canadiens

I'm not gonna speak to his character or if he's a role model because I obviously have no clue but I will say that I think DeMelo is a better defensive D. Savard put up better offensive numbers yes, and probably always will but that's not DeMelo's game. His value is purely defensive. I'll also note that I like Savard as a player. I mainly think this trade doesn't make sense for either teams.

Disagree on that take. DeMelo is a better defensive D, and that's not saying Savard is bad at all, I'd just rather keep DeMelo. My main point is that this trade doesn't make sense for either team.

No

Lysell is not for sale

Bruins are running it back with Krejci as 2C, we're not giving up futures for Schiefele, trade him elsewhere

Don't see Boston wanting to do that deal.

I love how every montreal player immediately becomes a cap dump on this website

Not just Mtl players ( but MTL players gets a lot of that, even last year at deadline when everyone was throwing everyplayers under the bus end at the end get huge haul for players that most people thought they where cap dump), 90% of the players in the NHL are cap dump by all the specialists on cap friendly. Even though a team trade a contract and take on back they call that cap dump.

I think I'm the only Jets fan that isn't impressed by the slow, poor skating, offensively challenged DeMelo, I'd make this trade just to get Ylonen, he's a decent prospect and is a right shot which the Jets have few of.

Both Savard and Demelo are roster filler, on any contending team they would be a 6th 7th defenseman pkaying between 14-17 minutes on a big night. Not sure why people are arguing that much over those 2 similar players. It’s like changing a 1$ for 4 quarter.

I'll be honest if savard was signed to 3M or 3.2M i would've been happier but he signed a new deal last year for 3.5M and had a good year after a bad start on a horrible team, he plays hard and gives you 20 min a night which is 2 more than demelo, calling a stay at home D who can still score that gives you 20 min a night while making 3.5M overpaid with a long contract is crazy talk

Pepole on this website look at numbers on db instead of TOI to determine a players worth are exhausting

Savard average TOI for tampa (won the cup) was 20:26 just a year ago

People around here mostly dont have any idea of players evaluation. They think they could fill a roster with just 80 points players and don’t understand that you need players like Savard or Armia or Goodrow or Coleman or Gourde. Players get paid, some off them get to much money but that doesn’t mean they can’t play and contribute. Drouin is one that get that treatment a lot here. Is been a 50 + points constant players and get so much hate. Most team would trade for him for the right price. People just like to hate everyplayers that they don’t like but still try to trade for them by making lousy offer. Last year i was one of the few that said that MTL wouldn’t trade Lehkonen for spare part. I made a few post explaining that the Habs didn’t need to trade him unless they get something valuable in return. I received so much hate and some people reported my thread saying a was trolling lol. But at the end of the day i knew all along that i was right. Same for Chariot and Kulak. It will be the same things again this year especially when most of the players on the Habs roster had their worst career season. I doubt that it will be the case 2 years in a row and players will raised their stocks and will be traded for valuable assets by the deadline. End you know what, no one will make excuse or admit they where wrong all along.
A couple of Avs fan are more then happy that Sakic traded Barron for Lehkonen, but by that time they where all crying like baby. If you haven’t made your homework about a players end like you said based your opinion on hockey DB you shouldn’t exchange here with people who really follow the game.
Sorry for my « montez de lait »

In the playoffs he was averaging 14.06!

I like Savard but if Savard is our first pairing defenseman Habs will have another long year. I think he have a bigger impact in the locker room, that part of the imponderables a players can bring and that can’t be valued.

100%
I was also made fun of for saying chiarot will get a 1st + lehkonen a 1st and 2nd and kulak a 2nd , iasaid it for weeks and was right after all..

In way am i saying he's a top pair D he's a serviceable guy on a limited role

Zero interest from Boston in that. Foligno declines as well.
