[MMC]

Welcome to Buffalo

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Yup. Good for him.

 

[Brownies]

I have a good feeling about Savoie, I hope he plays great in Buffalo.

 

[EichHart]

This is the guy I want Sabres to draft

Well I'm a happy guy.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Great pick by Buffalo - high upside player without much risk. Reminds me of Stutzle.

 

[MessierII]

Coukd be the best player in the draft

 

[Beerz]

Jack who?

 

[Dominance]

Savoie is a top-5 - I would say top-3 - prospect in this draft. His fall was persistent and illogical, but now he finds himself on a rising team that does not need him to be a centreman. I cannot think of a better place for him to be.

Savoie-Cozens-Quinn
Krebs-Thompson-Tuch
Peterka-Mittelstadt-Ostlund
Kulich-Rosen-Nadeau

Power-Dahlin
Samuelson-Jokiharju
Johnson-Lindgren

Levi
Luukonen
Portillo

Obviously, not everyone will hit on their potential, but that’s a future to be excited about - and even the top (potential) stars are defined by their motor and work ethic. Jack who, indeed.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Jack who?

Eichel.

 

[Paxon]

Eichel.

Never heard of the fella

 

[tsujimoto74]

Never heard of the fella

Huh. Hmm. Really.

 

[Digable5]

Huh. Hmm. Really.

It took him leaving for me to go to the Arena and cheer on the team.

Absolutely wanted Savoie. Excited to add his tenacity and skill to this young roster.

 

[Ace]

But how is his body language?

 

[Lavar Ball]

 

[bsu]

That was a violent shot lol

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

3 goals, 6 points tonight

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

3 goals, 6 points tonight

He was due.

 

[YEGJuniorFan]

Aside from the decent stat line, how has he looked this year? Discussion on him has been kind of quiet considering his draft pedigree

The Prospect Board is often dominated by Canadian team fans and a few select other fanbases. There aren't a lot of Sabre fans watching Ice games and Savoie has been a bit quiet coming back off his shoulder injury. It's two strikes in terms of having a lot of chatter.

 

[Bubbles]

The greatest jersey in hockey history.

 

[Boonk]

The greatest jersey in hockey history.

Its....its beautiful..

The greatest jersey in hockey history.

Man that's awesome and can't wait till Gritty hugs him.

There are only a handful of teams whose prospects get regularly talked about on the prospect board after being drafted. The Sabres aren't one of those teams.

Like Levi even doesn't exist.
