  1. Seen the ALO hat on Davo as well. Is it trendy or do all these guys just love Yoga that much?

  2. Local kid, top 10 pick, for a 3rd liner who was scratched. What a deal and what a player we got for basically nothing

  3. Looking forward to October and next season looks to be a good one for the Oilers, go for that cup

  4. Welcome to Oil Country, Matt! Can’t wait to see you grinding for one of top 6 spots sooner than later! LFG Oilers! Gearing 🆙! Super Stacked for next season for sure.

  5. Dude plays like a good Taylor Hall hope he gets lots of ice time and practice in with mcdavid. also hope for an insane year for the kid

  6. Scouting Report:

    Seems like a great kid, good speaker and by all accounts has a ton of talent. Speedy, feisty player with tons of talent often compared to Brayden Point. He had 71 points in 34 games last year in the WHL winning the WHL championship with Moose Jaw. 9th overall pick in 2022. 3 years remaing on ELC and then RFA after. Wasnt old enough to play in the AHL full time, but played 6 games last year where he had 5 points in 6 games.

    “Savoie is like a gnat in the offensive zone. He’s always buzzing around, and no matter how many times you swat at him, he won’t go away. You can’t stop Savoie from making plays in the offensive zone; you can only hope to contain him. He’ll pester you on the forecheck, create turnovers, attack the puck, and constantly keep his feet moving.

    “Part of what makes Savoie so much fun to watch is that it seems as if he’s never content with standing around. He has to move around and keep changing the angles and lanes for the defense, slowly wearing them down until they make a mistake, and he can strike.”

    Best of luck to Matt and welcome to Oil country! In

  7. Good grief man.. These media guys need to let the kid actually answer their freaking questions before popping another one on him.. I think I counted like 9 or 10 times they cut off the tail of his answer to ask him another question… Just pure class from Edmonton sports media….

  8. Buffalo fan here. I wish Matt much success (except against the Sabres). I followed him in Prospect camp and I was there when he hurt his shoulder last year. I'm not convinced he isn't injury prone but in any event I'm hearing from Edmonton fans that we got the short end of the stick. However, Mcleod adds something to the Sabres with his PK and defensive play as well as his speed.

  9. kayler yamamoyo 2.0 another small player. with too many injury reports.. he is going to need to change his game to survive in the nhl.

  10. Great to put something in the Stables! Too many picks Traded the past few years to try and win now. In the next couple years we're going to need young guys to start stepping in.

  11. Jim Matheson.. Thanks again for another wonderful insightful question. We are all pissy because you are still here. Retire already!
