Contract: $5,850,000 over 3 years (Cap hit: $918,333)
Continues to play to his identity offensively in Major Junior but projects as a winger in NHL.
At the Buffalo Sabres Rookie Challenge (September) he had a difficult time finding space and pucks to attack off the rush. When he gets caught in traffic it severely limits his impact offensively. He is not a player who thrives when the game slows down.
At the Major Junior level in Winnipeg Savoie is a dynamic threat every night. When at his best this is a creative prospect who is competitive and can pick opponents a part on the PP.
