The March 7 trade deadline is less than two weeks away, so it's time to play matchmaker for some squads hoping to make a long postseason run in the spring.

Here, we look at five seamless fits that would fill a team's need while laying within the realm of possibility.

Let's get into it.

Dallas Stars 🤝 David Savard

GP	G	P	ATOI
50	1	11	17:46

Dallas' deadline cap space: $4.598 million
Savard's cap hit: $3.5 million (pending UFA)

Savard isn't the flashiest name available, but he's a solid fit for Dallas' needs even after the club acquired Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci. The Stars could still use another right-handed option on top of Matt Dumba, Ilya Lyubushkin, and Ceci. Their depth took a hit with Nils Lundkvist's season-ending injury, so Savard could help ease the blow.

Sure, Savard is 34 and has shown some warts with the Canadiens, but the Stars are a far better defensive team than Montreal, and their system should shield the veteran better. Savard isn't Chris Tanev - who Dallas has sorely missed this season - but he has a similar skill set and ranks just outside the top 10 in shot blocks (122) this campaign. Savard also has a strong leadership presence, which can help the Stars in the absence of Tyler Seguin and Miro Heiskanen.

Dallas wouldn't need to take on money beyond this campaign by acquiring Savard. That isn't a bad thing given the number of key free agents on its roster. The same can't be said for fellow righties Rasmus Ristolainen (two more years, $5.1-million AAV) and Seth Jones (five more years, $9.5-million AAV). Savard also won't cost as much to acquire, which is good news for a team missing its 2025 first- and second-rounder.

Edmonton Oilers 🤝 Trent Frederic

GP	G	P	ATOI
55	8	15	14:01

Edmonton's deadline cap space: $948,000
Frederic's cap hit: $2.3 million (pending UFA)

Before we get into it, there are some caveats. The Oilers fortified their defense by adding John Klingberg, but it's too soon to say if he satisfies Edmonton's desire for a top-four rearguard. There also aren't a lot of difference-makers out there that work with the Oilers' limited cap space and asset pool. Up front, Evander Kane expects to play at some point this season, so Edmonton doesn't necessarily need to add a middle-six scoring option. Finally, GM Stan Bowman doesn't sound eager to make a change in net (sorry, John Gibson). That pushes us to pair the reigning Western Conference champs with a cheap yet effective option in Frederic.

Standing at 6-foot-3 and 221 pounds, Frederic would add some much-needed physicality to Edmonton's bottom six, and he can line up at center or wing. He's racked up 147 hits this campaign, 29 more than Oilers leader Vasily Podkolzin. The 27-year-old can also score. Though Frederic is on pace for just 12 goals this campaign, he recorded 17 tallies in 2022-23 and 18 last season.

Picture this: A line that has Corey Perry and Frederic on it in the playoffs. Does that sound fun to play against? Absolutely not.

Los Angeles Kings 🤝 Rickard Rakell

GP	G	P	ATOI
56	25	48	19:11

Los Angeles' deadline cap space: $4.498 million
Rakell's cap hit: $5 million (2028 expiry)

The Kings need some scoring help, stat. They've been dead last in goals per game (2.18) since Jan. 1 with a sputtering power play that's converting on just 9.1% of its chances.

Luckily for L.A., it can get some aid in the form of Pittsburgh Penguins winger Rakell. If the Kings added him right now, he'd tie for the most goals on the team and lead the squad in points. The 31-year-old is also a right-handed shot, which is a plus. Only three Kings forwards are righties: Alex Laferriere (30 points), Trevor Lewis (seven points), and Akil Thomas (three points).

The Penguins may not be eager to trade Rakell as they pretend to be competitive for Sidney Crosby. However, the Kings could assemble a compelling package, seeing as they have their first-round pick in the next three drafts. GM Rob Blake shouldn't be stingy in dealing those picks after watching his team fall to the Oilers in the first round three times. Bringing in Rakell would go a long way in helping L.A. avoid another early exit.

Washington Capitals 🤝 Jake Evans

GP	G	P	ATOI
56	11	27	15:32

Washington's deadline cap space: $3.65 million
Evans' cap hit: $1.7 million (pending UFA)

The Capitals have been a joy to watch this season, but even they aren't perfect. They should be on the hunt for a third-line center, namely to bump the 35-year-old Lars Eller further down the lineup. More than one option would fit in D.C., but we'll start with Evans, seeing as Washington was linked to the Canadiens forward at last summer's draft.

The 28-year-old is on pace to establish new career highs with 16 goals and 39 points this campaign. Five of his tallies this season are game-winners, which would match Alex Ovechkin and Aliaksei Protas for the most on the Capitals. Evans is also tied for the league lead with six shorthanded points, so he'd give Washington another dangerous weapon on its fifth-ranked penalty kill (82.6%). Oh, and he's winning 52.8% of his faceoffs and 53.4% of his draws in the defensive zone this season.

Ryan Donato could be another option. The forward has 19 goals and 37 points in 53 games with the Chicago Blackhawks this campaign, but he isn't used on the penalty kill, nor is he as strong on faceoffs as Evans. Donato is a pending UFA and is just a tad pricier than Evans with a $2-million cap hit, but he wouldn't break the Capitals' bank if they also wanted to add a depth defenseman.

Winnipeg Jets 🤝 Brock Nelson

GP	G	P	ATOI
55	17	35	19:10

Winnipeg's deadline cap space: $12.506 million
Nelson's cap hit: $6 million (pending UFA)

The Jets are making a serious run for the Presidents' Trophy as the league's top regular-season team. However, there's a position they should bolster if they hope to translate that success into the playoffs.

Winnipeg could use a bona fide second-line center to give it a one-two punch down the middle behind star Mark Scheifele. Adam Lowry and Vladislav Namestnikov have filled that spot admirably this season, but there's no harm in adding more depth, especially when you can land a piece like Nelson. The 33-year-old has hit the 30-goal mark in his last three campaigns, and his 20 goals and 39 points in 52 playoff games since 2020 are the most on the New York Islanders over that span.

However, there's a hitch here. Nelson has a 16-team no-trade list, and Winnipeg isn't typically viewed as a top-tier destination. He's also a pending UFA. The Jets gave up plenty of picks to acquire Tyler Toffoli and Sean Monahan last year, only to lose both on the free-agent market. GM Kevin Cheveldayoff may not be in a rush to risk that again. Perhaps a center with term like Ryan O'Reilly or Scott Laughton would be more prudent. Still, Winnipeg has its 2025 first-rounder and tons of cap space to fit Nelson, assuming the Islanders want to move him. New York is in the fight for a wild-card spot, after all.

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard is out six-to-eight weeks due to a fractured hand, the team announced Tuesday.

Savard logged 16:54 and had an assist in Monday's win against the Buffalo Sabres. He exited the contest and didn't return after a remarkable shift on the penalty kill in which he blocked multiple shots despite losing a skate blade.

— Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) October 24, 2023

The 33-year-old hasn't played a full season since 2018-19 with the Columbus Blue Jackets. He's missed 40 games over the past two years since signing with the Canadiens in 2021.

Montreal is already without Kirby Dach for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign after he tore his right ACL and MCL.

The team recalled blue-liner Gustav Lindstrom on an emergency basis on Tuesday.

A native of St-Hyacinthe, Quebec, David Savard has already brought the Stanley Cup back to his home province. This time around, he wants to do it as a member of the Montreal Canadiens.

"We're going to try to bring it back (to Montreal), that's the plan for next year," Savard said, according to writers at NHL.com. "We're all planning to return to the final and to win it."

Savard was sent to the Tampa Bay Lightning from the Columbus Blue Jackets as part of a three-way trade involving the Detroit Red Wings days before the deadline. He was a solid stay-at-home defenseman for the Bolts and put up five points in 20 playoff games to help them repeat as champions.

The 30-year-old saw his newest team up close and personal in the finals as the Lightning dispatched the Habs in five games.

"I liked the way the Canadiens played against us in the final. They have several veterans who've already won the Cup," he said. "I'm going to try to bring my own baggage and make it an even better team."

Savard currently lives 20 minutes north of Quebec City in Lac-Beauport and had his day with the Cup on Wednesday. He signed a four-year, $14-million deal with the Canadiens earlier this offseason.

"I'm looking forward to putting on the skates and playing a first game at Bell Centre," he added. "It will be nice to be closer to my family and my friends."

Savard joins other notable newcomers such as Mike Hoffman and Cedric Paquette as the Canadiens hunt for more playoff success.

Another trade deadline has come and gone, and it wasn't nearly as quiet as expected given quarantine restrictions and the flat cap.

The playoff field feels strangely set, with a couple of exceptions. With rosters essentially finalized, let's see which teams offer value in the futures market.

Buy

Tampa Bay Lightning (+450)

The Lightning announced the biggest pre-deadline acquisition a few weeks ago when they confirmed Nikita Kucherov is still on track to return for the playoffs. Little else was expected of the defending champions given their cap restraints. So, naturally, they solidified their blue line by adding a defense partner for Victor Hedman in David Savard. It's bordering on unfair at this point.

Tampa Bay has traded away three first-round picks since the beginning of last season and I don't believe the team is drafting again until 2027. But the Lightning already have one Cup to show for it and appear well on their way to another. Flags fly forever.

Boston Bruins (+1300)

We all know the Taylor Hall story so I won't beat it to death. He's sucked this year and wasn't a desired commodity as a result, but Boston feels like a perfect fit. The Bruins need scoring in a bad way, and a motivated Hall could do some serious damage on the second line.

This is something of a last chance for Hall. The impending unrestricted free agent has no excuse if he doesn't perform given he requested a trade to Boston. Additionally, this was a low-risk move by the Bruins given how little they gave up, with Hall using his no-trade clause to essentially back the Sabres into a corner. It's nice to see a team from Boston finally catch a break.

The Bruins also traded for Mike Reilly, who's enjoyed a breakout with the Senators, to play alongside Charlie McAvoy, Matt Grzelcyk, and Brandon Carlo in the top four. This roster is rounding out nicely, with Tuukka Rask also due back soon.

Pittsburgh Penguins (+1700)

Few people seem to care that the Penguins acquired two-time Stanley Cup champion Jeff Carter. This was low-key one of my favorite deadline deals. Carter's arrival makes it 16 Stanley Cups won collectively by this roster. If there's one thing Pittsburgh needed, it's more playoff experience.

Carter also came at a relative bargain despite posting better numbers than Hall, Nick Foligno, and Kyle Palmieri. The 36-year-old can play up and down the lineup at center or on the wing. He's still a strong skater and the offense hasn't dried up yet. Playing to the right of Evgeni Malkin wouldn't hurt, either. Carter's a good, smart hockey player, and the fit in Pittsburgh feels perfect. The Penguins will be a nightmare to deal with once they start getting their injured forwards back.

Sell

Vegas Golden Knights (+400)

Nothing against Mattias Janmark, but the Golden Knights paid more for him than Boston and Pittsburgh did for Hall and Carter, respectively. Janmark can provide some secondary scoring, but I'm not sure how much he moves the needle. This felt like a time for Vegas - which has come so close in each of the last three seasons - to add an impact player ahead of a likely showdown with the Avalanche, a team stacked with them. To me, it looks like Vegas overpaid for a depth guy.

I also would have loved to see the Golden Knights pay up for Ryan Getzlaf. He's having a down year but he would've been a great addition for Vegas' power play and its locker room.

Minnesota Wild (+1500)

The Wild have really tailed off after being analytical darlings throughout the first half of the season. Since March 17, they rank dead last in the NHL in xGF% and CF% at five-on-five. They're also second-last in GF%. With Minnesota's road to the Cup likely going through Vegas and Colorado, that's just not going to cut it.

There aren't any glaring holes on this roster, but some depth down the middle or secondary scoring on the wing would've been nice. Don't use cap space as an excuse, either - we saw plenty of teams get creative to make the numbers work. It's been a fun season in Minnesota, but the team picked the wrong day to become boring again.

Winnipeg Jets (+2200)

The Jets cleared nearly $4.8 million in cap space by moving Nathan Beaulieu to long-term injured reserve, paving the way for Kevin Cheveldayoff to swing for the fences. The general manager is no stranger to a deadline splash, acquiring Paul Stastny in 2018 and Kevin Hayes in 2019, so it's a real head-scratcher as to why he elected to let the newfound cap space go unused.

Maybe it's just me, but if I have a top-three goalie and one of the league's elite forward groups, I'm going all-in. The Jets can score with anyone and Connor Hellebuyck is capable of stealing a game on his own on any given night. Winnipeg needs help on the blue line, but instead of acquiring a Josh Manson, Jamie Oleksiak, or Vince Dunn, Chevy settled for Jordie Benn. Yeah, that ain't it.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have acquired highly sought-after defenseman David Savard from the Columbus Blue Jackets in a multi-team trade involving the Detroit Red Wings, the team announced Saturday.

The Lightning sent their first-round pick in 2021 and a third-round pick in 2022 to the Blue Jackets, while their 2021 fourth-rounder went to the Red Wings. Tampa Bay also acquired defenseman Brian Lashoff from Detroit.

The deal took some serious savvy for Lightning general manager Julien Brisbois to pull off.

Columbus retained 50% of Savard's expiring $4.25-million cap hit after first flipping him to the Red Wings for Lashoff, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun. Detroit then traded Savard to Tampa Bay and retained another 50% of his contract in exchange for the Lightning's fourth-rounder.

The Blue Jackets then sent Lashoff to Tampa for the Lightning's pair of draft picks.

Savard rounds out what's already one of the league's best blue lines. The Lightning rank seventh in goals against per game (2.50) and own a 53.25 share of expected goals at five-on-five this season.

Savard, 30, will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He's contributed one goal and six points while logging 19:38 of average ice time through 40 games.

The 6-foot-2 blue-liner was selected by Columbus in the fourth round of the 2009 draft and has played all 10 of his NHL seasons for the Blue Jackets.
