2020 Draft - 2nd Pick: Carter Savoie

[North]

Any idea why he has only signed an ATO with the Condors and not a professional contract with the Oilers? Isn't it usually both?

I believe the Sharks’ minor league team initially signed Thomas Bordeleau to an ATO and then announced his ELC a couple of days later.

This could just be nothing. They could be ironing out his bonuses or something.

I think it's because if he signed with the Oilers he'd burn a year off his ELC? Probably not worth it if he would only play a game or two.

But then they could have just done the same thing that they did with Ryan Fanti:

RELEASE: Oilers sign Minnesota-Duluth goaltender Ryan Fanti

There could be an agreement in principle but bonuses may depend on his performance for the Condors?

Makes sense, thanks for sharing

No worries I had the same question when it was announces.
Also I heard the rumors about him not being too much into schooling so was hoping he'd make the jump.

Yeah, I thought it would have been a bit strange for him to go back next year so this makes a lot more sense

Very excited about Savoie. Smart of him to get his foot in the door before Tullio, Bourgalt and possibly Petrov show up.

AHL TV might be a good purchase next season, the team should be pretty interesting to watch. Maybe buy for the end of this season

You can sign contracts to start the following season

That makes sense. He’d clearly be going in the first couple rounds with hindsight, as of right now, so he deserves to get to burn the 1st year if that’s what he wants

 

[Canovin]

I wonder if Savoie wanted to join the Oilers and have a chance at winning the cup is why it took so long

I think that would be overly optimistic on his behalf. Signed or not, he wouldn’t have been on the playoff roster for the big club.

Well, given all the injuries down there, we'll figure out pretty quickly where the kid is at. I wouldn't be surprised to see him pop off a few points right away during his PTO but struggle over a full year next season. Still, if he can put up even 35-45 points as an AHL rookie it would be a very good sign. Roope Hintz, Alex Tuch, Anthony Mantha, and Ryan Hartman are all recent forwards who did it in their D+3.

Why wouldn’t he feel he can contribute? I’m sure Makar felt the same way

Not sure what exactly what you are saying, but Savoie is not in the same universe of prospect as Makar was when he signed.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

While I don't think he would be expected to play, the team may want to keep him around as a black ace, similar to what they did with Broberg during the bubble.

If he signs a Fanti-like deal, he wouldn't be able to join the big team after the AHL season ends.
