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

[Sabresfansince1980]

I had front biceps tendonitis with possibly a torn labrum back in 2006 and my shoulder has never been right since.

When I probably tore my labrum the shoulder came right out later in the week, in the middle of the night. I just popped it back in and went back to sleep...not a second thought. Turns out maybe that lack of pain was because my whole joint is too damn loose. Always seemed like a plus...but maybe not. So I guess I just don't know yet if my shoulder will "be right" going forward. Seems fine lately. I'll have to throw a baseball a hundred times to find out.

Thompson evolved his shoulder and became a better dangler. This will likely just improve Savoies wingspan and I don't need x-ray vision to make that prognosis.

While the hell did Wenatchee hire Constantine? He is a walking tire fire.

He'd coached in that city before so I suspect he has ties to the new ownership.

Hope he gets a shot this year.

Only two realistic options if they want him to get some NHL games before going back to the WHL and if they don't clear up the three goalie thing is to either send Benson back to the WHL or send down Jost to Rochester - which I'm not sure they would do. Should be interesting. I have a feeling he heals up and then unfortunately for him and for us to see how he'd do I bet they just return him to the Wild.

Rosen was best at rookie camp ... but .. I think Adams doesn't want either player in the WHL right now

I imagine playing up the Constantine/Wenatchee angle now in addition to the previously very convincing (imo) points of argument.

I am sure that the impeccable leadership of the NHL and the progressive powers of Canadian junior hockey will achieve a well reasoned decision.

Hoping Adams is still fighting the good fight, as much of a long shot as it may be.

If he gets a conditioning stint in rochester, how long or how many games does can that last for?
