42 points in 46 games for the NTDP this season— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) July 24, 2021
Per EliteProspects:
With a bit of space down low, Savage is a flashy, occasionally dynamic offensive creator. In transition, he manipulates defenders with hands and feet that transmit different information, eye deception, and nearly unmatched pace. Slip and hook passes, even when moving, and a desire to hunt the high-danger option makes him a set-up threat. And, he’s a threat from mid-range with his mechanically-sound wrister shot. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide

Interesting must listen to intel explaining why we believe Red Savage @redsavage_ will surpass many of his peers in the next 3/5 years of the NHL developmental time frame window due to the hard to measure “intangibles factor”… // https://t.co/24NqYapsut #DRWDraft— Sarah Lindenau (@Lindy72) July 24, 2021

114. Red Wings take top two-way center red Savage. Too low. He’s one of the best PK’er and faceoff specialists out there and put up points when Lucius was out. Really like his potential and I will stand by from ranking him in Top-32. pic.twitter.com/gBXzyw20NB

Wow. Another kid from around here. Great tactic in this year of so much guesswork. Go with those you know the best, at least in the later rounds.
