While Allen was in discussion to be the goaltender send to oiler in an exchange, Savard is the rock, the leader in the room. He won't be trade, is value is so much more with Montreal and helping the young man then is actual trade value could bring.
Montreal already make Matheson play to much, removing Savard from the team will push Matheson to much stress to be the only veteran on the blue line.
Adding another second line center could help move Monahan from the center #2 spot and to send him with Caufield / Suzuki duo. But I don't think removing and actual top 6 player to Edmonton help them to return be competitive.
Trading asset like Bourgault, Holloway or even they're first round pick would be ideal.
