- Savoie has the talent, but his size could cause him to get taken later than expected.

Craig Button has him at 17th, so you know he'll be good.
He has Jimmy Snuggerud at 8, Alexander Perevalov at 16, while Nazar, Geekie barely are first round.
I don't know how Craig Button is even considered a hockey insider. Imo he's the biggest joke among NHL insiders and speculators. Rarely if ever is he correct in his speculation these days especially. I never take what he says seriously lmao.
My favourite prospect from this years draft
Idk why but i like this guy. Fast and skilled is my favorite way to watch hockey. Hope he’s available when the sabres pick at 9.
You should buy a lottery ticket.

@@joeblow3506 Also thinking your coment aged like 🥛
@@Troyjanwarrior1 he went 9th to the Sabres like that guy predicted before the draft, wtf are you talking about. You probably didn’t even know who he was until he was traded dipstick.
How many Johnny Hockey/ Cole Caufield/ Brendan Gallagher/ Nils Hoglander/ Brad Marchand/ Jaden Schwartz, etc. will it take for the league to not undervalue smaller guys?
Yes the very undervalued 1st overall pick 3 time cup champion, playoff mvp, hart trophy winner Patrick Kane
@@wolfxp2 why are you acting like people weren’t doubting Kane’s ability to produce at the NHL level prior to his NHL debut?
@@mikebizoune233 not much doubt when you go number one overall, all the other guys he listed fell in the draft, Kane did not

who exactly was doubting him?
When those guys (Kane doesn’t belong in that group) produce in the playoffs. Did Johnny hockey even put on skates for the Flames in the playoffs this year?
Sounds like a potential Red Wing 1st round pick. The Arizona Coyotes, who have their early 1st round draft pick, have two late 1st round draft picks. They also have four second round draft picks. That is a team to watch in trading draft picks. Stevie Y has a 1st round draft, two 2nd round picks, a third and three 4th round picks. He loves to trade draft picks.
Irony is that Yzerman's size would be bordering on "too small" today, LOL!! Datsyuk, too!
the yotes will get their center in cooley, unless they devils trade their pick to someone who needs a center. the wings absolutely could end up with savoie. they do need a 2C.
First thing I'd do as a new GM is block Stevie's number lol.
@@chip6954 neither are “too small” lol plus the nhl is smaller on average than it was when they played!
I know it is EA Sports, and it is just a game, but Savoie consistently ends up with around 1500 points by the end of his career in franchise mode.
Yep and Nail Yakupov in NHL 15 was a level 87 and retired as an NHL player.....
@@deecee2174 there isn’t levels in nhl lol
@@WaddickLawnCare they clearly meant ovr and you know it.
@@emmanuelderaps4249 they who? You mean Dee an individual? I didn’t even call out how yakupov is spelt or that he wasn’t retired in nhl 15 or that nhl games reflect the previous year so it reflected the 2014/2015 season and yakupov played in the nhl until 2017/2018 lol
@@WaddickLawnCare yeah, singular they, never heard of that? The Oxford English Dictionary traces it back to 1375, where it appears in the medieval romance "William and the Werewolf".
Very interesting to watch, fast, makes smart quick decisions. Needs to add a lot of strength and work with moving puck in heavy traffic before taking the next step, but he looks like he could be an effective playmaker. Top 10, probably top 5 if you consider how big his upside could be if he turns out well.
I was at the prospect game and he stood out to me. A lot of skill and good skater but undersized. I could see him being a steal.
Craig Button is the new Pierre McGuire...can't believe he has him at 17th. As a Flyer's fan, Savoie is an intriguing pick. Kinda reminds me of Girioux. He turned out to be just fine regardless of the size.
Honestly, the teams that could benefit from drafting him are Arizona or Ottawa. They have promising young players, but Savoie has superstar potential imo. That speed and playmaking ability he has is insane
Just those two teams, eh?
Every team would benefit from drafting him.
@@2Jim2u fuck off jim you have brutal takes. savoie is a stud. Jimbo thinks formenton should be traded and tim stutzle needs to move back to winger LOL
@@2Jim2u no u don't, Jim k. We don't believe u.
I'd be okay if he stayed at #9 like Elite Prospects has him listed 😉
At least now 5’9” gets drafted. During the clutch and grab era forget it. HOF Martin St Louis was undrafted
I hope yzerman snags either savoie or geekie, high end centers, Larkin is dying to have help down the middle, we can either get a skilled small righty which is rare for the wings or we can get a beast that could possibly challenge for a roster spot this coming up season, either way these two fit the bill for the wings, I’d be happy with either one.
His bro Carter is a stud too. Pure goal scorer...Oilers
❤❤
After this, I think we need a video on Michael Peca
5/5 I have savoie in Philadelphia too. I gave the blue jackets frank nazar so we’ll see if the trend continues tomorrow could also see joakim kemell
Or David jiricek in Columbus.
If Savoie goes to Philly, that Should leave Jirikec who Columbus will take. But I think I speak for most Columbus Fans when I say I’d rather have Savoie or Nazar over Jiricek!! And thats saying alot as I have Jirikek as the best defender in this draft by far!! I see him being a Top line defender and having an amazing career in the NHL!! But I like that hot fire!! Gimme the Goals!! Columbus Needs Centers and Left wings we have a great young talent pool coming up with a bunch of RD’s and LD’s!! So I don’t know what these lazy analyst are talking about!! I think we might even Trade down to Ottawa or Buffalo, which I would personally do if it was Jirikec and still get my guy plus one of their extra 1st round picks!! I just see Savoie or Nazar being the perfect pieces to add along side all of our other young guns like Kent Johnson, Cole Sillinger, Yegor Chinakhov, Kirill Marchenko, Dimitri Voronkov who will all eventually play with Laine!! Plus we have the 12th to take Whoevers left out of Lambert, Geekie, Gauthier, Kasper, Yurov, Howard and Ohgren!!! But Columbus Cant miss in this draft class!! I think this is one of the better Forward Classes in a long time!! I see 20ish Top Liners coming out of this Class where as its usually just a few!! And some of them are coming going in the 2nd and 3rd round!! Also, I keep seeing people project Kemell going to Columbus!! Thats crazy to me based on obvious Team needs alone!! Plus Savoie probably gonna be a right wing and can play center and so can Nazar so why Kemell??SMh
I’d love for the wings to take him
Think it definitely helps that he's 180lbs. I say the Jackets take him at #6 and nickname him lil Sherman Tank
I wonder if the Oilers try to make a move to pick sooner in the draft to draft Matthew so the Savoie brothers can play on the same team. It would be interesting if they do it for sure.
who would they give up to do that? you’re looking at bouchard and the oilers 1st, as well as yamamoto/puljujarvi.
Speak of the devil
@@doaftheloaf😊😊😊
As someone who has seen him play live I really like his Skating and his Hockey IQ. I hope that he doesn’t fall to far down because of his size.
Me a flyers fan: Huh THG has a Savoie video out
Click: Sees THG in a flyers jersey
Me: fuck
As a Flyers fan idk how you pass on Nemec or Jiricek but man this guy could be the best offensive talent from this draft class. It would be tough to pass on him.
I fear we will fuck up though like we did many many many times
i think hell probably go to seatle, iirc theyre already big they just need some faster guys, and if he needs some time to get that nhl feel it might be a pick for seatle or maybe he goes to Columbus but i dont have a strong reasoning for it
I don't think taking the bigger guy is about thinking he's better; it's seems more about reach, harder to push around and maybe, but only maybe durability.
I was playing some NHL game, maybe 19 or 20 and drafted him. He was my captain for multiple cups. I assumed he was AI generated so I was pretty shocked the first time I saw his name. I'm pulling for him for that reason alone. I was doing a random NYI franchise so if he goes to the Isles, book those cups
You must be a child
Savoie seems like the kind of player that would normally drop to the bottom half of the first round. I'm interested to see if he might go higher with teams leaning more to skill and less on physicality.
From the DET fanbase, I've heard that if Savoie is still available at 8th, then they want him to be picked. But who knows.
#8 please!
I think people are really sleeping on how good Savoie is going to be once he puts it all together in the NHL. I definitely see him as a player people look back on and say how did he not get picked earlier
I think Savoie could end up being the best forward in this draft class. Don't be shocked for Stevie Y to draft him, He likes taking the guys everybody underrates. And Matthew Savoie is a perfect fit, and is exactly what the wings need. A center, who also happens to be a great goal scorer, shot creator.
Hoping Flyers get Nemec or Jiricek
Very much possible. If they're both off the board then Slafkovsky or maybe even Cooley will be a good consultation prize.
Savoie’s at 5 on my list, imo, he’ll stay at Center even if he’s smaller. Real amazing offensive skill and he plays bigger than his size, defence is pretty good too. He doesn’t even need to bulk up too much but if he does, he’ll become a menace
I heard Gaudreau to NJ and Fiala to NYI, so maybe that changes things…I see Wild GM Guerin trading up to get the second pick which will be Shane Wright.
But Savoie will go mid-first
Bring him to Detroit, we need another top end center prospect
Let’s go oilers
9th to Buffalo, along with Lambert at 16th and Ivan Miroshnichenko at 28th
nah, i want the russian kid for montreal at...whenever the calgary slot is. i doubt savoie falls to 9; philly, columbus, ottawa, and detroit can all use him.
Really great video! As a flyers fan i have my eyes glued to this draft stuff. You planning on doing videos on the finnish/european players high in the draft, or you sticking to the na ones?
I realize play style matters, but Savoie is listed as 5'9, 179 lbs and is called small. Kemell was at the combine and measured 5'9.5", 180 lbs and I've never heard anyone complain about his size.
Just weird how ppl scrutinize size on certain players
NHL, NFL, whatever...people today get way too hung up on measurables. If nothing else, sports history is full of examples of the truism that skill, ability, and especially sport-specific IQ and natural instincts more than make up for measurables. I think he'd look right at home wearing the winged wheel!
with giroux gone, hayes with his injury history, and the coaches not set on playing frost. i can see the flyers taking savoie at 5. i wouldnt mind having center depth and we also need to inject some kind of spark in this offence. and if nemec or jiricek fall to 5 i see the flyers taking them too. we'll see.
Can’t wait for the draft
Sometimes prospects never show up at all! *oilers fans punching air*
He’s gonna end up being a great Red Wing
Have a feeling the Yotes may try to snag Conor Geekie somehow
Another guy I’d love for Columbus to get at 6.
Go Savoie Go!
If the Flames traded a piece, I’d love to acquire the rights to draft Savoie. Could be a great fit with Zary in the future
who would you trade? tkachuk? lindholm? markstrom?
He is going to New Jersey
the devils aren't taking savoie at 2. if they keep the pick it's almost certainly slafkovsky.
Connor Bedard is also a small guy but everyone has Bedard at No.1. Savoie will be draft day steal for any team that drafted him.
Same as Michkov
Please end up a flyers we need good news
Geekie at 2nd? Woof.....
Hopefully falls to the sabres but i doubt it.
i think he will drop to 8th even if id say he is good enough for 4th ..
Kaapo Kakko
Geekie will be selected by Philadelphia. Savoie gets picked up by Columbus.
Philly will murder Fletcher I think if that happens
hopefully Jets can snag him if he drops
i doubt he's dropping that far.
One can only hope
I think Seattle takes Savoie
nah, seattle's probably taking nemec at 4. or possibly jiricek.
@@doaftheloaf I think Philly takes Nemec, or tries to trade with NJ up to #2 for Juraj S. Only sub 6' player I want to see in a Flyers uniform is Johnny Hockey.
I'd love to get Savoie but we honestly need defense
@@kosmicwizard it’s possible, but seattle would have to pass on nemec. the kraken have a stud centre in beniers already, so I think they go d here. there’s a ton of stud forwards next year and they’ll have a high pick. they can take defense now.
if seattle takes nemec, the flyers can still take jiricek if they want d. he’s more NHL ready.
@@kosmicwizard if nemec is still there at philly’s slot, they probably do take him.
That is just high level of stupidity not to draft players just because they are shorter or smaller. Makes absolutely no sense. With smaller players you get more speed, agility, effort and it doesn´t mean that you are not tough or strong if you are smaller.
They have a reputation for disappearing in the playoffs. More often than not the smaller goal scores have a great regular season then struggle in the playoffs when they get beat up. Some guys obviously overcome that but we do see it quite often.
They can't dominate the game the same way a larger player can.
