My favourite prospect from this years draft

Idk why but i like this guy. Fast and skilled is my favorite way to watch hockey. Hope he’s available when the sabres pick at 9.

Sounds like a potential Red Wing 1st round pick. The Arizona Coyotes, who have their early 1st round draft pick, have two late 1st round draft picks. They also have four second round draft picks. That is a team to watch in trading draft picks. Stevie Y has a 1st round draft, two 2nd round picks, a third and three 4th round picks. He loves to trade draft picks.

Very interesting to watch, fast, makes smart quick decisions. Needs to add a lot of strength and work with moving puck in heavy traffic before taking the next step, but he looks like he could be an effective playmaker. Top 10, probably top 5 if you consider how big his upside could be if he turns out well.

Honestly, the teams that could benefit from drafting him are Arizona or Ottawa. They have promising young players, but Savoie has superstar potential imo. That speed and playmaking ability he has is insane

I was at the prospect game and he stood out to me. A lot of skill and good skater but undersized. I could see him being a steal.

I hope yzerman snags either savoie or geekie, high end centers, Larkin is dying to have help down the middle, we can either get a skilled small righty which is rare for the wings or we can get a beast that could possibly challenge for a roster spot this coming up season, either way these two fit the bill for the wings, I’d be happy with either one.

Craig Button is the new Pierre McGuire...can't believe he has him at 17th. As a Flyer's fan, Savoie is an intriguing pick. Kinda reminds me of Girioux. He turned out to be just fine regardless of the size.

I'd be okay if he stayed at #9 like Elite Prospects has him listed 😉

At least now 5’9” gets drafted. During the clutch and grab era forget it. HOF Martin St Louis was undrafted

If Savoie goes to Philly, that Should leave Jirikec who Columbus will take. But I think I speak for most Columbus Fans when I say I’d rather have Savoie or Nazar over Jiricek!! And thats saying alot as I have Jirikek as the best defender in this draft by far!! I see him being a Top line defender and having an amazing career in the NHL!! But I like that hot fire!! Gimme the Goals!! Columbus Needs Centers and Left wings we have a great young talent pool coming up with a bunch of RD’s and LD’s!! So I don’t know what these lazy analyst are talking about!! I think we might even Trade down to Ottawa or Buffalo, which I would personally do if it was Jirikec and still get my guy plus one of their extra 1st round picks!! I just see Savoie or Nazar being the perfect pieces to add along side all of our other young guns like Kent Johnson, Cole Sillinger, Yegor Chinakhov, Kirill Marchenko, Dimitri Voronkov who will all eventually play with Laine!! Plus we have the 12th to take Whoevers left out of Lambert, Geekie, Gauthier, Kasper, Yurov, Howard and Ohgren!!! But Columbus Cant miss in this draft class!! I think this is one of the better Forward Classes in a long time!! I see 20ish Top Liners coming out of this Class where as its usually just a few!! And some of them are coming going in the 2nd and 3rd round!! Also, I keep seeing people project Kemell going to Columbus!! Thats crazy to me based on obvious Team needs alone!! Plus Savoie probably gonna be a right wing and can play center and so can Nazar so why Kemell??SMh

After this, I think we need a video on Michael Peca

I’d love for the wings to take him

Think it definitely helps that he's 180lbs. I say the Jackets take him at #6 and nickname him lil Sherman Tank

I wonder if the Oilers try to make a move to pick sooner in the draft to draft Matthew so the Savoie brothers can play on the same team. It would be interesting if they do it for sure.

As someone who has seen him play live I really like his Skating and his Hockey IQ. I hope that he doesn’t fall to far down because of his size.

I don't think taking the bigger guy is about thinking he's better; it's seems more about reach, harder to push around and maybe, but only maybe durability.

i think hell probably go to seatle, iirc theyre already big they just need some faster guys, and if he needs some time to get that nhl feel it might be a pick for seatle or maybe he goes to Columbus but i dont have a strong reasoning for it

As a Flyers fan idk how you pass on Nemec or Jiricek but man this guy could be the best offensive talent from this draft class. It would be tough to pass on him.

Savoie seems like the kind of player that would normally drop to the bottom half of the first round. I'm interested to see if he might go higher with teams leaning more to skill and less on physicality.

@jleif7736

I think Savoie could end up being the best forward in this draft class. Don't be shocked for Stevie Y to draft him, He likes taking the guys everybody underrates. And Matthew Savoie is a perfect fit, and is exactly what the wings need. A center, who also happens to be a great goal scorer, shot creator.

Savoie’s at 5 on my list, imo, he’ll stay at Center even if he’s smaller. Real amazing offensive skill and he plays bigger than his size, defence is pretty good too. He doesn’t even need to bulk up too much but if he does, he’ll become a menace

Me a flyers fan: Huh THG has a Savoie video out Click: Sees THG in a flyers jersey Me: fuck

I realize play style matters, but Savoie is listed as 5'9, 179 lbs and is called small. Kemell was at the combine and measured 5'9.5", 180 lbs and I've never heard anyone complain about his size. Just weird how ppl scrutinize size on certain players

#8 please!

Very much possible. If they're both off the board then Slafkovsky or maybe even Cooley will be a good consultation prize.

I heard Gaudreau to NJ and Fiala to NYI, so maybe that changes things…I see Wild GM Guerin trading up to get the second pick which will be Shane Wright. But Savoie will go mid-first

From the DET fanbase, I've heard that if Savoie is still available at 8th, then they want him to be picked. But who knows.

Really great video! As a flyers fan i have my eyes glued to this draft stuff. You planning on doing videos on the finnish/european players high in the draft, or you sticking to the na ones?

NHL, NFL, whatever...people today get way too hung up on measurables. If nothing else, sports history is full of examples of the truism that skill, ability, and especially sport-specific IQ and natural instincts more than make up for measurables. I think he'd look right at home wearing the winged wheel!
