I agree too, since the 1st pick is late 1st round and the young player is not going to be performing at his projected peek yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Dont imagine any GM will be that desperate for Savard and staying 1 more year wont hurt any, he can provide bit of experience for Mailloux-Reinbacher to learn from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is one of those 'entirely out of context' reports. Here's what LeBrun actually said (emphasis mine): Quote There’s clearly a conversation happening within that Habs front office, though, about Savard’s value, both in terms of staying put and what it would take to move him. It’s a healthy debate. I think it would take a first-round pick, a young player with value equivalent to a first-round pick or multiple picks with combined value equivalent to a first. It's not a 1st, a young player, and multiple picks, the reported asking price is one of the three. Basically, the anticipated value is that of a first-round pick, not a smorgasbord of valuable picks and a young player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was poorly worded, in the article where I took this it clarified what they meant and indicated the same quote you mentioned. The headline was just poorly worded.

Hopefully Fowler is good enough to make Monty the 40. Monty has been great but hoping Fowler is even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjust all those scenarios downward to a 2nd-rounder and I think it’s more plausible. Savard’s stock seems to be lower than it should be, given how much GMs like blood-and-guts veterans for the playoffs. I wonder if that’s because the Habs have priced him out of the market.

One difference here is that Savard has another year on his contract. If Montreal retains 50% (as Calgary did with Tanev) then you have Savard for 2 playoff runs at a cheap price. Savard is worth more than Tanev IF the Habs retain 50%. How much more is open to debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Arber Xhekaj’s NHL stats for the season and they are impressive. What I glean from these stats is that Xhekaj is too good for bottom pairing and it’s time to see if he can hold these stats against better players. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I glean from these stats is that Xhekaj is too good for bottom pairing and it’s time to see if he can hold these stats against better players. Interesting numbers for sure. He kind of has been second pair with Savard lately and hasn’t looked out of place for most part, they actually make a decent combo from the eye test, have not looked at advanced metrics. I’ve personally always seen him ending up as a solid 4/5 guy with second unit PP potential and possibly PK potential should he learn some finer points on positioning, disrupting, reading NHL PP’s. Playing PP time may actually help him see the angles when on PK. I do believe he is best served by having continued, sustained success in a lower role for a longer period of time before I’d throw him out against top 6’s every shift, every night (not that you’re saying that is the case either). Again, he is playing on what is the second pair now and ice time creeping up to the higher teens and into the twenties now. I think you may have called it, and they are thrusting him into more responsibility/trust. Given his trajectory and season so far, I’d like him to end on a strong note rather than pushing him too hard. Post season exit meeting, you tell him he needs to elevate his play once again and will have a shot at top 4 next year type thing. Knowing what we know of him, he’ll come back faster, stronger, more aware hopefully. He needs to stop chasing players so far out of position in d zone, start recognizing when they are no longer a threat and just pulling him away from the important areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, sucks for him that Matheson & Guhle are both healthy and Hutson likley suiting up in Hab jersey this season for a token game or three?, hope Mailloux & Trudeau get a game at least before end of season. It just looks so awkward for lefties to play right side; too many negatives; backhand giving and taking cross ice passs & backhand at opposing blueline along the boards... some can manage 'OK' but Guhle/Harris are obviously better on normal side.

Guhle is playing the right side and has been for a while. Xhekaj has been second pair with Savard as of late, which is a good test for now.
