Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

2008-09: His 76 points spread across 27 goals and 49 assists were good enough to lead his team in scoring by over 20 points. On a relatively bad team, Sauve's plus/minus ended at a -7, while many of his teammates found themselves in the negatives ranging from the late teens to late 20s.

Talent Analysis

A two-way forward, Sauve comes from an NHL quality lineage. Skilled with the puck and an aggressive forechecker, Sauve uses his quick feet to get back and help out in his own zone and just as fast, turn around and lead the rush back up the ice. Hardworking, he has the desire but not the strength to play a physical game.

Future


Sauve lacks the size and strength to play a true physical style of hockey, but that does not necessarily stop him from trying. He is a hardworking, aggressive forechecker who works hard to be the first forward in the rush and the first back to the blueline. He has the offensive capabilities to turn himself into a solid two-way center at the NHL level.
