Confirmed Trade: [BUF/EDM] Ryan McLeod and Tyler Tullio for Matt Savoie

[AirGut]

this doesn't make much sense unless there was a problem with Savoie that none of us know about.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

This makes no sense

How are people this shocked about a big return for a center after seeing massive contracts for centers and massive trade returns for centers.

Mcleod was 100% worth a 1st++.

25, excellent defensively and on the kill, one of the better skaters in the league. quality 3Cs are a rare commodity

Kevyn Adams doesn’t know WTF he’s doing.

Like this is such a massive overpay. McLeod is at best a speedy 4th liner. They just gave away a 9th overall pick from 2 years ago… like what!!!

 

[ameselare]

What did Sabres fans do to deserve this? I don't even know what to say

 

[Skolman]

Holy s***.

Jackson is an absolute wizard

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I just feel pure pity for Sabres fans. What else can you say at this point?

 

[The Nuge]

Interesting considering we just let go of his brother

 

[hamzarocks]

What the f*** is this trade by the sabres

They wouldnt deal Savoie for Konency but will deal him for McLeod

 

[jetsforever]

How did Savoie not return more?!

What is Cirelli worth then?

Jeff Jackson doesn’t want to be a GM for edm but everything he’s touched this off-season has turned to gold so far. Wow. He absolutely fleeced buffalo.

Because Savoie has top 6 potiental ?

 

[McRpro]

If someone had made a trade proposal of McLeod & Tulio for Savoie they would have been laughed at by everyone, including Oilers fans.

Wow!

 

[McNuge]

Jeff Jackson is a wizard... How in the f*** does Buffalo even entertain this...

 

[TLEH]

I'm not exactly that high on Savoie either but I'm sure some other teams in the NHL value him more than Ryan McLeod.

Uh, what?

 

[Mrfenn92]

wow

 

[Akrapovince]

You don’t trade your Mercedes for a bicycle regardless of how many Mercedes you have….

 

[dgibb10]

What is Cirelli worth then?

Oh probably a f***ton as well.

Same with JEEK.

 

[McFlyingV]

Jeff Jackson is the Anti-Chiarelli.

Seems pretty bad. Fireable offense

 

[Cup or Bust]

I didn't think the Oilers could get more then a 2nd round pick tops for McLeod.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I think that size is what scares Buffalo about Savoie, especially in regards to his potential at actually being a center. If you think that teams like Florida are the future and you see Savoie as a chip to give you a large, cost-controlled piece down the middle (McLeod is 6'3"/188), I get this trade. I just think that it could be really short-sighted on Buffalo's end.
