Ya I mean obviously good numbers. Matthew Phillips had eye watering junior numbers and AHL numbers. His game could not translate. Savoie is an inch taller than Phillips and may have similar issues translating his game to the NHL.
If what Pronman speculated is correct before the draft, he was not valued highly throughout the league. It’s a strange trade at first glance for sure but maybe not as big of a slam dunk as it seems.
I mean the Sabres could be a dysfunctional mess and royally screwed up here or they are aware of things we are not.
