Prospect Info: Samuel Savoie, 81st overall, Gatineau Olympiques (QMJHL)

[Mrfenn92]

Rouyn-Noranda honestly got him for a discount, and he came back early than I was expecting

Hope they go all the way

Much earlier than I was expecting also. I’m sure he’s still a bit away from playing

 

[clydesdale line]

I don't know how effective Savoie will be. If he'll be more going through the motions like Nazar did last year or if he'll be back to where he was and hit the ground running. But so happy he's getting some games in and won't a complete year of development.

fwiw, Nazar was playing 3rd line for Michigan upon return from injury, which makes sense as Michigan is always pretty stacked. After however many games to get to speed and by the playoffs, I'd be surprised if Savoie wasn't playing 1st line.

I would not. He's going to a stronger team than the one he played at with Gatineau. That Verreault - Loshko - Fontaine line has been incredible for them. I can't see him overtaking any of those guys unless he really comes out guns blazin.

 

[CallMeShaft]

He's playing tonight.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Picked up his first point. Primary assist.

He’s starting on the second line (Fontaine seems to be out so a different guy is playing RW) but if he and Verreault are both at their best on LW it makes sense to split them up at even strength and both could have first line type usage and play PP1.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Game misconduct midway through the 2nd, not sure what he did. Here is the assist from the 1st period.

 

[Section88]

Can't find any video of the hit that got him ejected.

 

[BHawk21]

Love it. One of my favorite prospects we have right now.

 

[Taze em]

Getting ejected after an assist and kicked out for boarding in your first game back from a season long injury is just :chefs kiss: legendary

 

[TLEH]

Two goals tonight so far.

 

[clydesdale line]

Finished with 2 goals + 1 assist.

 

[clydesdale line]

Savoie returns home.



Then promptly scores first game back.
