Well at least this isn't the worst overpay I've seen on here in the last while.
Savard is a 29 year old #4 defenceman. He has no upside, and is a good but not great player. He's not some top pair stalwart that is going to shut everyone down. He's not worth a 23 year old top 6 forward who has already scored 20 goals and 40+ and has a tonne of potential. Liljegren is going to be a cheap and good defenceman for TO and has loads of potential as well. He's got a much higher ceiling than Savard and will cost his ELC contract only. You just don't trade that when you are in the cap situation TO has. Anderson is having a terrible season, not sure why that is but I don't really care, we don't need more wingers. If anything, I'd do a Kapanen for Savard and possibly something else, but I'd settle for a one for one.
