2020 Draft - 2nd Pick: Carter Savoie

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

National champs.

 

[Soli]

A National Championship's pretty sick, but howabout turning a winter snub into the Summer of Savoie and winning '22 WJC Gold in Edmonton?

... maybe even with your brother.

First things first, a Calder Cup.

Just waiting for the news that he’s signed with the Oilers and then off the Bakersfield.

Probably just finished partying a few hours ago. Should hear something when he answers his phone at 9pm

Philly just announced Bobby Brink. I thought they'd give them the weekend before getting down to business Monday, but maybe we'll hear something soon.

Mans looked ZOOTED even in the team photo above, I can only imagine he’s been partying it up like a Milky Chance song since last night.

He really does give off "Kessel vibes" in many ways. Kinda looks like him, as he has that round face, stocky frame, and is apparently not exactly known for his strict-adherence to off-ice workouts. Stylistically he is kinda similar as well, at least from what I have heard. This isn't a slam on the kid at all, I would be OVER THE MOON if he became even 50% of what Kessel was as a pro. Edit: I was curious about their sizes, and Kessel is actually quite a bit bigger than Savoie. Kessel is 6' and 203#, and Savoie is 5'9" and 192#. I always thought Kessel was shorter than that.

Tell Philly they can have Carter and a first in exchange for Provarov.

No Bourgault or Broberg either, yet Niemela and Knies fit comfortably. No hiding the bias in that slapped together list.

Button loved Broberg too. But after Edmonton drafted him, he no longer likes him.

Not sure where Broberg deserves to be, but he always seems to have a bias against Edmonton.

 

[Oilhawks]

Wonder when he’s getting signed? Most of the other “big name” college kids have been signed by the team that drafted them now

 

[Stoneman89]

Hart

No thanks.

Hopefully it turns out better for us than it did when we reunited the Jones boys in
Chicago and somehow payed them in order to do it.

Just hurry up and sign him. He should be suiting up for Bakersfield ASAP

Yup, Holloway is out another week. Might as well get him playing.

Sign his ELC to begin in 2022-23 and then join the Condors now under a PTO, this is what everyone knows is going to happen. Question is, why hasn't it yet?

The sooner he can get practicing with his teammates and into games the better.

Yeah, I’m not sure why it hasn’t happened yet

Man I wouldn’t clean up dog shit in my hall with Button’s list.

I'd use his hair, it looks like it would be very absorbent for dog shit and he'd get a free dye job to boot. Win/Win

Maybe hammering out bonuses?

It's a bit simpler with first-rounders, but maybe they're just figuring out the bonuses for a well-producing late-rounder?
