Savoie was loaned to AHL Bakersfield on Sunday, per Mark Spector of Sportsnet.
Savoie was battling for a roster spot with Edmonton after being acquired in a trade from Buffalo in July, but he'll have to develop his game in the minors to begin the season. The 20-year-old center was selected No. 9 overall by the Sabres in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. Savoie appeared in just one contest for Buffalo in 2023-24.
