The Sabres selected Savoie with the No.9 overall pick in this summer's NHL Draft. Savoie played for the Winnipeg Ice (WHL) in 2022, leading the team with 90 points (35G / 55A) in 65 games.
Walman was acquired from the Blues for Nick Leddy at the trade deadline and had four assists in 19 games with the Red Wings. With Walman out for the start of the season, there's a very good chance that rookie Simon Edvinsson will start the season with the Red Wings.
Caggiula has not played a lot of hockey in the last two years, appearing in just 56 games with the Coyotes and Sabres, tallying five goals and 10 assists (15 points). He'll probably serve a similar role as a fringe roster player for the Penguins in 2022-23.
Pickard has appeared in 116 career NHL games with five different teams since 2015, going 35-54-19 with a 3.03 GAA and .903 SV%. In 2022, he spent most of the year in the AHL, going 21-16-5 with a 2.58 GAA and .918 SV% with Grand Rapids. He'll likely replace Stuart Skinner in Bakersfield.
After some off-the-ice issues ended his tenure in San Jose, Kane landed with the Oilers in the middle of the 2022 season and he flourished. The 30-year-old power forward scored 22 goals with 17 assists (39 points) in 43 games and was over a point-per-game during their postseason run, scoring 13 goals with four assists (17 points) in 15 games. Kane played 62.8 percent of his regular-season 5v5 ice-time with Connor McDavid, foreshadowing what his usage may be like next season. He was on pace for 42 goals and 32 assists this season, suggesting he could be one of the best fantasy hockey wingers available in 2022-23.
The hit knocked Kadri out for at least the remainder of the series. Kane will miss Game 4, where the Oilers need a win to keep their season alive. Zach Hyman will likely skate with Connor McDavid with Kane unavailable.
