Oilers Eyeing Savard for Defensive Upgrade 

Hey there! I just read about the Edmonton Oilers eyeing David Savard from the Canadiens as a potential trade target to bolster their defense. I think this could be a smart move for the Oilers. Their defensive struggles have been evident, especially with their penalty kill sitting near the bottom of the league. Savard brings that physicality and defensive reliability that they desperately need.

While it's true that the Oilers have been getting some offensive production from their blue line, the real issue lies with their forwards. They need to find a way to get more consistent scoring from that group. Savard might not be the offensive upgrade they’re looking for, but he could help stabilize the defense and allow the forwards to focus more on scoring.

Plus, with the cap situation, it seems like they need to be strategic about any moves they make. Savard's manageable cap hit makes him an intriguing option. If they can pull the trigger on this deal without sacrificing too much in terms of draft assets, it could pay off big time. What do you think? Do you see Savard fitting in well with the Oilers?
