One of the first things you will see or hear with anything related to Matthew Savoie is his size. At just 5-foot-9 and 179 pounds, he is one of the smallest players in the draft. The next thing you will hear about him is his dynamic offensive skill and how he is one of the most exciting players in the draft.
We have seen discussion this so many times in the past, about whether small players can make it in the NHL, and they constantly have proven that they can. The game is played so different then it was 20 years ago, and players are much more protected.
