According to Buffalo reporters, that is exactly what happened.

I think Savoie could be a jack of all trades type of forward in bottom-6 in Edmonton (if he can avoid injuries) who can occasionally replace injured guys higher in the lineup. He has versatile skillset and great compete level but even in junior games he rarely shows something that makes me think wow that's special stuff or that "he could pull that off in the NHL and get people out of their seats". Other small forwards like Benson, Ostlund and Helenius seem more cerebral players and therefore might have more upside and value than Savoie so I totally get Buffalo's decision.
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. My impression is that the CBJ business side of things is completely uncreative and unable to think outside the box. I fully expect the organization to be cautious, stay the course, and would likely be one of the last American teams to ever try something new or radical.
Multiple teams now doing their own thing and not dealing with Bally..
I've yet to hear how any team is going to replace the revenue provided by Bally's or any other Regional Sports Network. No one knows for sure (other than the teams and the RSNs) how much the RSN rights fees are, but for a team like the CBJ it's been projected to be somewhere in the $20-50M/ year range.

Good, leave them stuck in neutral while there's franchise level prospects coming up in the next few years that they'll miss out onRumors that Crosby is about to sign an extension with the Penguins.
Oshie is also expected to be on LTIR, which should cover it.I am starting to think Washington bought CapFriendly and took it private because they don't want fans to know that even after sending Bakstrom to LTIR they are still $5M over the cap.
Because most people care more about producing buckeye football players.The weird thing is that Columbus takes chances with the arts and really benefits from it. You would think the Jackets might be influenced by the arts scene in Columbus. BalletMet hires bright young people knowing they will eventually move on to bigger groups, like Edwaard Liang who recently left for DC. The Columbus Symphony is similar with their music director Rossen Milanov. The Wexner Center had Johanna Burton who was hired away by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. We produce poets, painters, actors, musicians, etc. But we can’t put together a decent production for our hockey team? It is really sad.
edited because no spell check in the world is going to accept Edwaard, but that is his name
The USHL Draft is an annual event conducted in two "phases" during the second week of May.[9] The first phase is an eight-round draft of U-17 players for the upcoming season. The second phase of the draft is open to all players eligible to play junior hockey who are not already protected by a USHL team. The number of players drafted varies, as each team will draft until they have filled the 45 spots available on their roster. Undrafted players are open to try out for any team as a try-out player. Each team must reduce their roster to 23 players for the start of the season, but may carry 18 additional players on an affiliate list.[10]
OK, so is a Phase 1 second round pick more or less valuable than a Phase 2 first round pick?United States Hockey League - Wikipedia

No idea.OK, so is a Phase 1 second round pick more or less valuable than a Phase 2 first round pick?
Don’t know exact comparison values, but phase 1 is the first crack at drafting kids and when the phenoms will get drafted. Phase 2 are kids that were passed over but teams can get some late bloomers and older players who can immediately help in lineup. The phase 1 picks are going to be more valuable but depends a bit on what the team’s needs are.OK, so is a Phase 1 second round pick more or less valuable than a Phase 2 first round pick?
Wanted to see the Stars and Joe Pavelski raise the Cup this year.
Had this conversation with friends, is he just a great story or is he a Hall of Famer?
