I think we will see both of them play in the last few games.Yup, I was being a big cheeky. Though I think Savoie has much more utility in his game including a good shot though greater strength is a distributor.
I don't put too much stock over the rumoured burn year on a multi-year entry level deal. Likely needed to secure the deal in the overhyped NCAA free agency cycle. If that gets the kid on a plane for a last minute twirl in game 82 or simply a press box ride through the playoffs, that's okay as a cost of doing business, imo. They frankly need to close the NCAA draft loophole and equalize draft rights across all leagues.
Now I'd be more concerned if this organization fast tracked the shiny new signing over Savoie who put the grind in as their pedigree prospect as a first year pro. But I don't think that will happen.
Free stuff. Urgent need to build up this scorched prospect pool.
Oilers are likely going to rest key guys for the last two games.
