Savoie has been touted as a top prospect since he was drafted, and he put up a ton of points in the WHL last year (71 points in 44 games played. He finished the year with a couple of weeks in the AHL and he played the last game of the year for Buffalo. The only thing I can see is if they don't like his personality or work ethic or something.

HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT. Is this what it's like to be on the winning side of a lopsided trade?! Incredible!! JEFF JACKSON IS A WIZARD.
Appreciated Mcleod but this is a massive win wtf lmao. We needed cheap ELC forward depth and scored one of the top ELC options in the league for... a cap casualty!

I mean it's the NHL and he's gonna be playing with one of mcdrai almost certainly. I doubt he's doing much other than maybe ribbing his brother a bit and celebrating.

McLeod is a speedy non physical forward who can play center but is more effective on the wing. He shows glimpses of offensive ability but I think his ceiling is probably 15/15/30. He’s pretty good defensively.
Tullio you’ll have to ask the AHL guys about.

Impatient? Wanting to make the playoffs next season could really end up biting them.

Who's kidding who, JJ is the GM and a good one. Give the man his money.
Holy f*** this is an incredible move. I am a massive Savoie fan
I'm pretty stunned, just saw that he had the cup of coffee with Rochester and managed 5 pts. in 6 games for them. There must be something else here, because that kid was a highly regarded prospect. Great speed, great offensive instincts.. darkhorse even to make the team?? Pretty incredible trade return.

I think they'll re-sign him as UFA. Especially sending Tullio out as part of this as well.
His analytics are great, his line consistently carries play. Very strong defensively. He's allergic of the middle of the ice and many criticize his lack of willingness to throw the body. One of the fastest skaters in the league.
Definitely room to improve on the offensive side, but this fan base was definitely frustrated with him after a couple of blunders and overall weak playoff performance.
That seems like a heckuva trade for the Oilers. McLeod just doesn't play the type of game the Oilers need to compete for the Stanley Cup come playoff time.

CP had one week of relief and now they’re back to the salt mines.

To make salary room AND get a cost controlled elite prospect? This can't be looked at as anything as a massive win
Mcleod, Cloned gave the descriptors on. Tullio is hard working, a bit of a pest but it's mostly the compete and work rate you'll notice with him. Tough to crack our roster now so maybe they moved on from him. Not a bad prospect overall but maybe out due to the numbers game.

A dark horse only due to depth and wanting to play more experienced guys, maybe. I think most expected he would make the Sabres opening roster.

I was expecting a low return for McLeod, especially when he was not moved in the draft

Talent wise this is clearly a home run...
I'm just a bit stunned that this was the move.

McLeod is a sufficient 3rd line C that skates like the wind. Doesn't like contact. Good defensively and a very good pk guy. Good at the dot. Not great offense, but with good offensive players can chip in. Tullio, I don't think will play for you in Buffalo. He will likely always be a AHL or call up guy.
Pretty decisive hockey trade win here for Jackson, like damn.. I thought he was pretty much done after the FA signings, and would be putting in the work for the GM search. This kid is a top flight prospect. Great speed, attacking offence, high work rate.. just wow. In shock still.
