Prospect Info: C/RW Matthew Savoie, 9th Overall, 2022 NHL Draft - Traded to Moose Jaw 1/4/24

[Zman5778]

I don't think he's eligible to play in Rochester for another year or so. Playoffs or otherwise.

He absolutely is eligible to play in Rochester once his CHL season is done. Once the CHL season is done....since he's signed his ELC, the Sabres can control what he does. So the Sabres can re-assign him from Winnipeg to Rochester.

 

[Perry Tegula]

So, let's go Moose Jaw?

I would rather see him play in the WC but I am not sure he would get the call. Only a few times have I seen CHL players play in the WC. Bedard probably would but he is still playing.

Yeah, it's typically only the elite of the elite CHL guys that get the WC call. It'd be great for him, but I don't see it.

Geekie is like an antenna tv whose antennas need to be consistently re-adjusted

He needs a digital receiver

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Any reason why? I don’t see how it would be different than Shane Wright

Sorry for short response that was discussed earlier. Some people now saying he can play so I guess I’m not sure.

 

[Chainshot]

Yes he can play in the playoffs

Correct, once a CHL team is eliminated the player can join the AHL team. It's similar to what Bloom did with Rochester last spring to work and skate with them.

 

[Chainshot]

I see Benson is back with Savoie and McClennon tonight.

 

[Chainshot]

A goal to break the tie, 2-1 Winnipeg early in the second.

 

[Chainshot]

Go to the net without the puck and good things happen.

Even McDavid didn't make Team Canada as a junior

Continues with Benson and McClennon on his wings again tonight.

Thanks for all the updates, Chain. Im sure I speak for a few of us when I say that. Youre a good source of information on games we're unable to watch, and I personally trust your opinion.

Keep up the good fight!

 

[Chainshot]

Firkus and Yager have each scored in the first, Moose Jaw up 2-0. Ostapchuk's line was on for both, though the second was Lambos having a brain cramp and throwing the puck away.

 

[Chainshot]

Geekie scores (finally) to make it 2-1. So glad they didn't go to that well...

 

[Chainshot]

Geekie with his second of the night to tie the game. He's thrown a couple of big hits too.

Savoie was flying earlier, has had a couple excellent chances but at 4-on-4 he and Benson get matched on Yager and Firkus. It's a chess match.

 

[Chainshot]

How Benson didn't score on that strip and feed from Savoie is beyond me. 93 is all over the place on this shift and Benson couldn't finish it off.

 

[Chainshot]

The stop on Benson -



An earlier chance -

 

[Gabrielor]

SAVOIE FOR THE LEAD!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Chainshot]

LFG!

Great goal after he had set the table and it was turned aside (again) moments ago. He has nine now and Winnipeg is up 3-2.

 

[Chainshot]

The sequence before the goal was even better.

 

[Chainshot]

Ostapchuk and Shilo have scored to get the Ice out to a 2-0 lead.

 

[Chainshot]

Savoie to McClennon at the Warriors' crease, McClennon slides it home on the first shift of the 2nd period to make it 3-0.

Edit - Next shift, McClennon coming up RW with Savoie driving the middle land and Benson on LW hits a Warrior on the pass at it's 4-0.
