In 2024, the Oilers dealt away Ryan McLeod along with prospect Tyler Tullio for the Sabres 2022 Ninth overall selection, forward Matthew Savoie. The Western Hockey League even made exceptions for Savoie years ago, allowing him to play more games than most players at his age. Savoie was second in U-21 scoring AHL wide, potting 19 goals and 54 points in 66 games with the Condors. Players who score at rates that similar to him usually turn out to be impactful NHL players. Given the possibilities of his lineup slot, he could find himself very much in the Calder Trophy conversation for rookie of the year.
