McLeod is an okish regular season #3C and a good #4C I however prefer him at wing where he can play in your middle six where he does well as a puck transporter and defensive conscience. Pretty good PKer. His offense is frustratingly streaky, I think he processes the game a little too slowly and is a little too contact shy to be consistent. So far in his career he's faded in the playoffs. He's a player type who can grow when nearing their thirties so I can see him be useful for Buffalo. Just don't expect any grit, there’s very little going to the tough areas, a little more when playing wing but still rare and don't let the occasional offensive outburst fool you. I hope he can add an element or two and be a real contributer for the Sabres it's about time you guys make the playoffs. He's an incredible skater and not without skill so he can play, he was just losing ground in Edmonton and his lousy playoff performance made him an obvious cap casuality.
I like Tullio and think he will be an NHLer down the line, likely in the bottom six, hard working kid.
Can't say I've kept much track on Savoie but he's clearly very skilled, I honestly didn't think McLeod would return much after the playoffs he just had so on the surface it's a far better outcome than I expected.
