Matt Savoie faces a pivotal season as his contract expires after the 2026-27 season, making him a restricted free agent. With the rising salary cap and recent contracts for young forwards, Savoie’s value could increase significantly if he secures a top-six role alongside stars like Draisaitl or McDavid. Having been drafted ninth overall and with a strong junior record, both he and the Oilers may consider a long-term deal this summer to lock in a favorable agreement before future contracts inflate. Savoie’s local ties to Edmonton could further influence his decision to commit long-term to the team.
