Small win for Montreal here. Savard should've gotten more (Especially in this market), but it's still fair.

Nice pickup, maybe a bit of an overpayment with term but the bar has been set high with the contracts being given out today.

Didn't think that "Just shy of 4M" meant 3.5! Great bargain bin pickup, it's like Bergevin says to any UFA defenseman that he has 3.5 and they all say yes.

This is a solid signing. The same deal that Joel Edmundson got last year, except Savard has a better track record than Edmundson, who bounced back this past season from a bad season in Carolina the previous year. My guess is that he’ll play with Alexander Romanov next year, and he’d be a good defensive compliment to him.

Savard is getting overhyped quite a bit based. He's been on a decline the last couple of years. This could either be incredibly good if he can play like he did in 18-19 or absolutely horrible if he plays like he has since. Since 18-19 looks like it may have been a one-off, I'm not too hopeful.

He played 2nd pairing in the regular season and actually played like he belonged there. I could see him becoming a solid #4 after Chiarot leaves.

Remember when people were spitting on big Ed's deal 6 months ago? LOL

He's not amazing but he's solid enough, and gives some cost certainty for the next few seasons. Not nearly as good as Weber but given the price difference, he'll do.

To be fair I like that he's going for an all defensive defender and then another good offensive defender for the third pairing, it's better than having Hamilton on one pairing and Gus on the third. Dude's got a 95% EV FFS!!
