Trading a player with much higher potential but lower NHL surety for a player with a lower ceiling but is an NHL lock. It makes complete sense for the Oilers on many fronts, and makes sense if the Sabres think he could turn into a ~40-50 point 2-Way center and PK specialist.

Mcleod is a good pick up for Buffalo, he's young, his contract is good. he plays hard. Mcleod was very good in the Stanley Cup Finals, that's what matters. The prospect being traded is just that " a prospect that may be a bust" Good trade Buffalo, you got a proven Stanley Cup player. Read what the Buffalo analytics were on Mcleod, it's very good. I see why they made this trade.

@Kjell777Iverson4 ай бұрын
Oilers fans were talking about being lucky to get a late 2nd round pick for Mcleod, so trust me when I say we're all ecstatic to get Savoie for him. We all knew Mcleod was probably the odd man out due to cap constraints, so couldn't be happier. Now upgrade on Ceci and we're off to the races. As far as where Savoie starts, he'll be playing heavy minutes in the AHL next season. Possibly a black ace callup after the trade deadline.

I love this trade. A lot of Sabres fans are gonna disagree, I don’t care, KA went out and got a piece we’ve been sorely missing at the price of a prospect we can no longer afford to develop. The time to win is now, Kulich and Helenius will be studs for us in the future. We don’t need another blue chipper or top 6 foward or 1st round pick. We need guys to come in and contribute. We all wanna scream “win now” until we make a move to win now. One in the hand is better than two in the bush.

@Venxm76 First off, they had the luckiest run to the finals of any team in history. They beat a team that had no business being in the playoffs, then got lucky again when Demko went down. Otherwise Vancouver would have taken them out. Dallas choked big time. And Florida made them look like the overrated team they are. Without McDavid, they don't win more than one game in the finals. Second, they've lost their depth. They still have that shitball Skinner in net and the same garbage defense. Trust me, they will struggle next year and could miss the playoffs.

Jeff Skinner is not slow, but not nearly as fast as he used to be. McLeod is one of the fastest skaters in the league. Savoie was redundant for the Sabres, who needed a big 3rd line center who can take faceoffs and PK. Only 24. Upside. I'm not even sure if Savoie has any more upside, yet he still can't crack the NHL lineup.

I would use the word infuriating to describe McLeod. Never did anything with his speed and zone entrys because he cant make a play. Shot isnt good enough to score from distance and he never drives to the net.Weak in corners. Everything is a fly by. His defense numbers are inflated because he doesnt forecheck.
@gregsgoogle29474 ай бұрын
Maybe this is all part of a larger deal for Mitch Marner?? Buffalo still has $13 million in salary cap to spend & not many teams have cap space to sign a Marner deal. Toronto is going to want some NHL ready players included in any Marner trade. Maybe McLoud is just one piece of what it takes to bring Mitch Marner to Buffalo. If this isn’t part of some larger trade Buffalo is crafting then their GM is nuts. McLoud was a salary dump. He permanently lost his 3rd line position after 3yrs of trying to hold it. We weren’t expecting anything in return except take his salary off our books. So if this isn’t part of some larger trade in the near future then Adams just gave away a top prospect for nothing.
