LW Carter Savoie - Sherwood Park Crusaders, AJHL (2020, 100th, EDM)

[Sens of Anarchy]

AJHL stars are doing great in the NCAA. Its not an easy league to transition to. These guys probably have more NHL upside than they were credited with at the draft

For sure, Benning looked really good last night as well. Some teams who needed D men are going to look foolish for passing on him.

Pretty impressive the way those two are playing making the jump straight from the AJHL to the NCAA without skipping a beat.

Considering how long it took for Holloway to make the adjustment, it is very surprising how seamless it's been for Savoie and Benning.

 

[Ryan Van Horne]

Time to update thread title to reflect the fact he's playing with Denver Pioneers (NCAA).

Yeah, his and Bennings prospect pages should be updated to reflect they’re with the University of Denver.

I can’t believe this kid was still sitting there at 100. Hes been amazing for DU and I can’t wait to see how he progresses at the program they have there. What a pick by Edmonton.

it's crazy how many scouts slept on him considering he was only playing in a top junior league in Canada.

Nice job Holland.

 

[Tryamkin]

Had him ranked #34 and debated strongly having him in my first. Big fan. Super underrated prospect that just needs some work on a few areas and I can see him playing in the NHL at an age younger than expected.

 

[Oilers in NS]

There are some great players that have come from Junior A hockey. Jamie Benn, Kyle Turris, Andrew Cogliano, Keith Seabrook, Reilly Smith, Colton Parayko, Cale Makar, Tyson Jost, Dante Fabbro, Alex Newhook, Jacob Bernard-Docker, Jonathan Tychonick..

couple other names come to mind going back a few years that played are Brett Hull and Paul Kariya as well. Our junior equivalent in this area of Nova Scotia is not even on the same page as the teams out that way. We would get destroyed. There is @ 12 teams in the Maritime Junior League. Different budgets




The majority of these kids go on to play in the NCAA and some even dominate there. So to say the level of talent isn't even close to the NCAA just shows a level of ignorance. Sure the overall talent isn't close but the CJHL can produce elite talent all the same as the other leagues.

Scored another one today became the GWG.

5th goal in 4 games and an absolute beauty. This kid can rip the puck, far side top corner. One hell of a shot, damn.

Good lord, he can really zing it for a guy who is on the small side. His release is almost non-existant and the goalie doesn’t even react until it’s too late.

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

Must be nice for him to be the center of attention in the family for a change - people have been raving about his little brother for the past 3 years and left him an afterthought for many.


Proving he can really play, too

 

[Breakers]

The Pio's are WAY to dependent on the PP right now

It's going to come back and bite them the way they are looking for penalties as their only means of offense.

That was a great replay! You get the full development of the play, bird's eye, then an isolated close up of the play from the blue line in, and then, piece de resistance - directly behind - the player's point of view for the snipe. Wish the NHL would do more of that!

 

[snipes]

Couldn’t have asked for a better start from him as an 18 year old in the NCAA.

It’s insane isn’t it? His release might be one of the better ones I’ve ever seen, he puts almost nothing into it. Looks like he’s about to fire a nice pass at midnight shinny and then fires a zinger. He’s probably one of those kids that was shooting the puck relentlessly when he was 9-10 years old

 

[Dominance]

Should’ve been a second rounder on draft day. He keeps this up...who knows where we will be saying he should have gone.

Most of his stats are almost PP with 4 on the PP and 1 EV and shooting at 40% but there's little doubt he shoulda been 2nd round. Im shocked he fell that far. Crazy good start and legit goals thus far. Oilers with an early steal thus far just for picking him in the 4th.

Was buzzing against UND when I watched.

Great snipe. Hate the fact that they say Savoy instead of Sa-voah (the correct pronunciation).

Yeah. Even if the kid pronounces it like that himself, it’s just stupid and wrong given the spelling.

Shades of Byfuglien = “Buff-lin”
