Meh, depends on need. Savard has been steadily regressing in effectiveness and role in Columbus. He was not having a good year. In terms of overall effectiveness at both ends and transition, Gio is still by far the better player. 29 dmen in the league are outscoring him (t-7 in goals) and he looks better defensively since Sutter took over.
Do you not think Gio would have returned a first had he been on an expiring deal this year?
