Tough price to pay for Buffalo but they’ve got too much of the same thing.
McLeod is a guy who skates very well, very smart positionally, good defensive stick, can win draws, can PK. But he’s not a physical player at all, definitely relies more on his skating and positioning. He’s also never really shown much offensive ability at any level. He’s likely close to a finished product as a reliable bottom 6 C who’s one of your better pk’ers who puts up 30-35 pts a year and can be used in situational matchups. Year before last against Vegas in the second round he centered a line that was the only line that had any sort of success at slowing down the Eichel, Marchessault, Barbashev line.
