The Canadian is in Buffalo tonight and including this game, there are only three left before the trade deadline (Friday, March 7).

Naturally, at the CH, we will have to keep an eye on Jake Evans, Joel Armia, Christian Dvorak, and David Savard, all of whom are unrestricted free agents.

Who will leave and who will stay? According to Renaud Lavoie, Savard and Dvorak will stay. At least, he would be surprised if they were traded. That’s what he mentioned during the first period.

Several teams could be in the running for Savard.

After all, even if he has slowed down, he remains a good defensive defenseman, and on a third pair, a contending team could acquire him at a good price.

But it’s not at any price that Kent Hughes will get rid of his Quebec defender. After all, for a fourth-round pick or worse, it’s just as well to keep him and help the team in its playoff run. And maybe at a good price, he could stay in Montreal for next season.

He’s a good veteran, a good teammate, and a guy who doesn’t hurt anyone. At worst, he would be the seventh defenseman next year… He won’t ask for the moon.

As for Dvorak, I don’t think he’ll find a taker before next Friday either. If so, Hughes risks keeping part of his salary (he can still do so for a player until June 30, 2025).

A Dvorak transaction with 25% of his salary for a fifth-round pick is the best Montreal could have, in my opinion.

The center earns $4.45 million until the end of the season, and the problem is not keeping salary or trading it for a distant draft pick, but rather team spirit. Indeed, he is a good teammate and a good friend to Cole Caufield, among others, and without Kirby Dach and potentially Jake Evans, Dvo would be important for the team’s center line to make sense…


In a hurry

– He can’t wait to come to North America.

– Wow haha.
