Cliffnotes:
-Thinks this year's draft is mediocre-to-weak. By that, he means that when we fast-forward a decade from now and you re-draft, the top players from this draft will probably be inferior to the average draft as a whole. Doesn't mean that there aren't any good players available this year, though.
-Savoie is a guy that's excellent in the offensive zone with good vision, superb passer, great at controlling the puck (especially on the PP), he's a center that gets used much more on the right wing and wouldn't be surprised if he's a full-time winger in the NHL. Good skater and agile, but for a player his size, doesn't find him to be explosive enough. Thinks he needs power skating. Isn't scared of playing in the dirty areas.
-Negatives: Has the same negative point as he did with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: He's a player that looks a lot better on the PP than he does 5 on 5.
-Also notes, that for him this draft has a top tier of Geekie, Wright and Cooley, and that everyone else is a step below them.
