Savoie was still a top young player in the AHL as a rookie last season, though, finishing second in U21 scoring with 54 points in 66 games (behind only Bradly Nadeau’s 58 in 64), and I expect he becomes a contributing middle-sixer in the NHL who can play PK2 and PP2.
20. Washington Capitals: LHD Kevin Korchinski
Actual draft pick: No. 7 (change: -13) to Chicago
My final ranking: No. 15 (change: -5)
Korchinski is a player who has pretty clearly been impacted by the CHL-NHL Agreement prohibiting 19-year-olds from playing in the AHL. He wasn’t ready to play in the NHL when he did, and it has stunted his progress and allowed some others to leapfrog him now.
