DISCUSS!!!!

Hopefully the Briere comps I had with him when he was playing early in the season hold up as a pro. Same sort of creative/quick player who goes into dirty areas.

 

[Club]

PUMPED!

Yep, knew this was Savoie all along if he was there. Nice pick. The next Briere?

 

[Dirty Dog]

Big question is how do I pronounce that last name?

 

[Zach716]

Let's run it Matty

[Zman5778]

Very nice pick. Love the offensive upside here with some grit.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

The biggest question about him is how will Rob Ray pronounce his name. Lots of vowels in a row there at the end of his name...

We got my f***ing boy, let’s go. Danny Briere reincarnated. Top end skill

 

[Dingo44]

Man it sucks we're not going to be able to hear RJ call, Brière-style: "MATTY SAVOIE! MATTY SAVOIE! MATTY SAVOIE!"

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Really happy with this. He and Jonathan Lekkerimaki were my hopes for 9th. Or, you know, Shane Wright, if that trend continued lol

Well that's what they have now. I was really high on him early in the season so it's funny that when they went from looking at being 2-3-4 and now at 9 they are getting one of the guys I was interested in then.

First time ever we took “my guy” in the first round, if you don’t count Dahlin and Eichel

 

[EichHart]

Love this pick.

 

[Dirty Dog]

finally corrected the wrong when we let briere go!

Hope you have better luck of it than me with Risto and Zadorov.
