2. David Savard – 29 years old – RD
2019-20 stats – 37 GP – 1 G – 10 A – 11 PTS – 46.5% CF%
Career stats – 557 GP – 40 G – 120 A – 160 PTS – 48.3% CF%
At my number two spot is David Savard. Compared to a Josh Manson, Savard is more offensive, however he is still relatively good on the defensive side of the puck as well. I believe he would be a great addition to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It was reported by Andy Strickland on Twitter that Columbus is shopping defensemen David Savard who has one year left on his current deal with a cap hit of $4.25M.

Adding a guy like Savard will instantly improve that top-four and make the Leafs a contender. Now who would I rather have between Manson and Savard, probably Manson however the asking price would be higher for Manson.
