Generational name.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't know how much offense he'll provide in higher pro leagues, but he stands out at the junior level for his defensive game, motor, and his underrated offensive game. I could see a second or third round range. I can't see him being much later than fourth or fifth round.

When did hockey start allowing WWE wrestlers to play?

 

[Forge]

Holy hell, what a name.

 

[nbwingsfan]

I want him to succeed solely because of his name

 

[Maplebeasts]

Contender for GOAT name.

 

[Rayquaza64]

Elite name and an elite defensive center who could potentially put up a decent amount of points. Love this guy

 

[Gnashville]

Holy hell, what a name.

Someone told Fred Savage to get the F out

 

[57special]

Please tell me he has Red hair.

Having a son and looking at the newly born baby and going with the name Red lol... Red Savage...

Love it!!

Edit - damn I ruined it cause his actual name is Redmond... I know a Redmond already haha

 

[57special]

Redmond...ok, that makes sense now.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Will wear the C.

At least this tread should be renamed from Red Savage to Redmond Savage, as it does have racist connotations.

its his name

That's literally what he is known by, and is a logical shortening of his birth name.

 

[apadilla]

Well aware of the reasoning for shortening his name. I'm just hoping the OP or HF will decide racist language should not be allowed on their website. Read some of the comments, generational name? WTF is that implying. Otherwise, I've said my piece. Hope good angels live here.

He is literally referred to as Red Savage everywhere. I agree racist language shouldn't be allowed but that's literally the kids name.

 

[LeProspector]

Name definitely doesn't belong in this era.

What about the name "Red" is racist?

Do you consider Colin White's name racist? Or Connor Brown?

 

[EXTRAS]

Hope the USA u18 star line is

Savage - Duke - McGroarty

And that all 3 have giant moustaches.
