We already have news from former Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard.<\/p>\n

Savard, who announced his retirement from the NHL at the end of last season, recently admitted that he already misses it.<\/p>\n

A return to the Montreal Canadiens for David Savard?<\/p>\n

There are already rumors circulating to that effect, and personally, I’m convinced he’ll be back with the organization.<\/p>\n

I’m convinced he’ll follow in Paul Byron’s footsteps and return to the Montreal Canadiens organization in some role.<\/p>\n

Also, don’t be surprised if you see him at the Canadiens’ next training camp.<\/p>\n

David Savard today on his NHL retirement:<\/p>\n

“I miss it already. I know I’ll miss it next season.. I’ll miss going to the arena and practicing with the guys everyday but you have to realize when your time is up.”<\/p>\n

I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s next for Savard, but I truly believe he’ll return to work within the Montreal Canadiens organization, just like Paul Byron did.<\/p>\n

David can be extremely proud of his NHL career. Savard, 34, recorded 15 points in 75 games last season, with 36 penalty minutes and a -8 rating.<\/p>\n

In his NHL career, Savard has 242 points in 870 games (including 54 goals) with 467 penalty minutes.<\/p>\n
