One was a lottery pick, the others were 5th round hopefuls. Comparing statistics from junior is useless. There are countless players who’ve put up great numbers in junior and never get a sniff in the NHL. And for everyone of those there are ones who shine in the NHL and had unimpressive CHL numbers. No guarantees Savoie reaches the NHL or has a better career, but his potential is boundless.
