Quoting: glaive
Liljegren is like 3x better and the analytics prove it. Savard hasn't been good in years and gets caved in nightly. Tree would be fired into the sun for this one
You haven't watched Savard play then. Period.
I'm not saying Lilegren sucks here, and if you can put your Hab-hating reflex on the side a bit, Savard has been a very solid D all season and his value is higher than you think.
He's bigger, stronger, blocks more shots than most D, and has even more points than Lilegren... on a very bad offensive team.
He has leadership for years, and is adored by everyone on the team.
This has value on the market.
Not saying anything against Lilegren here. He has high value too.
But no need to bash Savard saying 'he sucks'. He doesn't suck at all.
Now, in my opinion, the Habs would not do this trade.
