First thoughts on Matt Savoie and Isaac Howard from the Oilers vs. Flames rookie game https://share.google/9cKdvS99adllPNnYs |
The complete lack of awareness and willingness to see anything else in that group up there is absolutely astonishing. I used to be really high on Savoie, but I now don’t think that he can really bring significant offence to the NHL. He is also too small to play a 3rd or 4th line role, so very likely ends up being a career AHL player.
