![]() Summary: Luypen was technically under contract with the Blackhawks this season but remained in the WHL for another season after having shoulder surgery in the offseason. Season stats: 18 goals, 21 assists in 38 games for Tri-City Americans in WHL Here are a couple of clips of Allan in the defensive zone:ħth round in 2021 | 5-10 | 157 pounds | 20 years old () But with Seattle, they have the offensive defensemen there where he can just be that defensive, physical presence, first PK, just go out there and shut things down against the opponents’ top lines. Which, it’s not a bad thing it’s great to develop that part of your game. (At his past team), I think he was more relied upon for the offense. What others are saying: Eaton said: “I think (being traded to the Seattle Thunderbirds) really allowed him to settle into his true kind of positioning and being that defensive leader. He’ll likely play next season with the IceHogs. He’s played a bit on the right side, so that could be his path to the NHL. Allan does have a hard shot and keeps his breakouts simple. But as a left-handed shot, he will have plenty of competition, and the Blackhawks have other defensemen with more offense. With his skating and defensive strengths, he has the making of an NHL shutdown defenseman. There’s definitely a mean streak to his game. His Seattle Thunderbirds teammates call him “Squirrelly Al” and “Big Al” because of how feisty he is. Summary: The Blackhawks don’t have another defenseman exactly like Allan in their pipeline. Savoie shows up a number of times around the puck before scoring: But creating that havoc that he’s so good at.” First and foremost, I think he plays with such a passion and such a great energy that a lot of it is controlling it for him and kind of living on the edge, playing to that high energy without taking penalties, without putting your team a man down. He’s that bulldog, that elite skater, who can create offense, but that’s not the expectation. ![]() What others are saying: Eaton said: “Sammy is being Sammy. He’s expected to return to Gatineau next season and turn pro for the 2024-25 season. Savoie hasn’t signed an entry-level contract with the Blackhawks yet, but it feels like just a matter of time. He was fourth in the QMJHL in penalty minutes. He went from 45 penalty minutes in 64 games last season to 90 penalty minutes in 60 games this season. The concern at this point is whether he can be disciplined enough. Summary: Savoie plays exactly the way the Blackhawks want their team playing going forward. Season stats: 26 goals, 33 assists in 60 games for Gatineau in QMJHL Shifty's War is a tale of heroism and adventure, of a soldier's blood-filled days fighting his way from the shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how one man's skills as a sharpshooter propelled him to a life greater than he could have ever imagined.3rd round in 2022 | 5-10 | 190 pounds |19 years old () He parachuted into France on D-day and fought for a month in Normandy eighty days in Holland thirty-nine in the harshly cold winter of Bastogne and for nearly thirty more near Haguenau, France, and the Ruhr pocket in Germany.
