You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Denver is playing in the Frozen Four and Savoie was just named to the NCAA West All-Tournament team... Far from a bust.

NCHC is one of the NCAA divisions - the best one, in fact. Savoie's NHLe's the past 2 years are similar to Cole Caufield's at the same age - that's WELL above expectations for a 4th round pick. He's literally a Hobey Baker nominee right now, which is reasonable considering he's 4th in all NCAA in goals as a 2002 birthday. The 3 guys ahead of him are 1997 and 1999 birthdays, and only one plays in NCHC, the other 2 are in easier divisions.

NHLe Draft+1
Savoie: 19-11-30
Caufield: 14-13-27

NHLe Draft+2
Savoie: 22-21-43
Caufield: 26-20-46

Turning into a kind of bust? Not developing as anticipated? Nothing could be further from the truth. Carter Savoie is far exceeding expectations and quickly becoming one of the Oilers top prospects.
