Back to EpisodesMatt Savoie's Future with Oilers: A Cap Dilemma
Description
Edmonton Oilers forward Matt Savoie, drafted in 2021, is making waves in his first full season with 15 goals and 32 points. At 510, hes proven himself as a versatile player, logging 14:32 of ice time per game and leading Oilers forwards in shorthanded minutes. Fans and analysts are debating his potential: will he be a gritty top-nine scorer or a top-six goal-getter? With his contract expiring soon, GM Stan Bowman faces a tough decision, balancing risk and reward. Comps like Logan Stankoven and Frank Nazar suggest a 5-year deal around $4.5M could be a smart move, setting Savoie up for a big payday while keeping the Oilers flexible in their Cup chase.
