C Matthew Savoie - Winnipeg Ice, WHL (2022, 9th, BUF)

[mratch19]

Savoie just had a nice tip goal to make it 3 - 2 Ice, and earlier in the play (about 40 seconds) he made a beautiful read to stop the breakout and keep it in the ozone. Great shift and a well deserved 43rd point!

 

[mratch19]

make that 44 points - just scored a beeautiful breakaway goal to make it 5 - 2!

No WJC, no U18...he might have a WHL season for the ages.

 

[jfrank21]

Why isn't he eligible for the U18's? He's an 04.

Ah, nevermind...he'll be in the playoffs and probably memorial cup.

 

[Gold Standard]

It may be a while before we get to see him rockin a maple leaf in an international game. With the crazies at Hockey Canada there's no guarantee he makes the U20 team next year. and the following year he could be a NHL fulltimer.

How does he compare to Marco Rossi? More explosive?

You answered your own question, Savoie is a very impressive skater and more dynamic and Rossi lost development time last year with the virus.

If the Habs are still at the bottom and have a chance at this kid they better not pass because of "small" go BPA !

Just throw Anderson on his right then they average out to a normal sized line. Easy.

I mean that is the same team that drafted Caufield , so there is hope! Plus, Savoie doesn't really play small in my eyes and he's definitely packed on some muscle since last season.

I still think Team Canada is nuts for passing on him and Clarke..

Savoie has those MSL tree trunk lower body

An inch or two taller, faster, and a better shot. Better prospect.

Significant plays from three games of M. Savoie:

 

[Halfy]

Another beauty today and a secondary assist. Ho-hum.

 

[McFlash97]

Lol Canada didn't pick this guy.

This guy would instantly he the best player in that team. Game is very McDavidesque

 

[Gold Standard]

Just once I'd like to see Hockey Canada throw caution to the wind and go All Skill top to bottom regardless of age...that would be a spectacle.

If McTavish is back again next year, and with Bedard and Savoie (hoping fingers crossed) that's shaping up to be a pretty stacked team down the middle next year.

If they opt to go really young next year's team could also have Fantilli and Yager.

If a team is sitting there with the option to draft him or trade the pick, what is it going to take to trade the pick? Top line player+1st+B/B+ prospect?

Savoie is the kind of prospect who simply will not be passed on by any team. High likelihood franchise centre who is cost controlled for years.

Ho does he compares to Marco Rossi? both smallish guys with crazy numbers.

thanks for your kind response

He's better then Rossi @ just about everything, and might be a little bigger to.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I haven't watched him play but if he's a great skater with a very strong lower body his lack of height probably won't hinder him much, if at all.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Savoie have potential to be a franchise player at NHL level?
