David Savard, reportedly acquired by TB, is a stay-at-home physical second-pair defensive defenceman who keeps opponents to the outside when he's on the ice. The match with Tampa felt inevitable. #GoBolts

@MitchLBrown and I wrote a deep dive analysis of him last week that digs into the strengths and weaknesses of his game and how it's trended in the past few seasons: https://eprinkside.com/2021/03/31/nhl-trade-deadline-profile-david-savard

The most interesting thing about David Savard to me is that he is very much a quality over quantity defender. Gives up a lot of shots against but manages to concentrate them to less dangerous areas of the ice and protect the slot. Viz courtesy of @IneffectiveMath. #GoBolts
