Isn’t he already like 34?

Swedes Age like a fine wine.

No reason the coach started Savoie as a winger in his first 2 games at the Rookie Tournament. Put an 18 year old newcomer as the C on Savoies line. I'd say this coach is canned by Mid December.

Savoie is not going to be a top 6 center as long as McDrai are here. He is being transitioned to the wing, may as well start that at a lower level and see how he does with it.

Chaulk isnt a good coach, but playing Savoie on the wing isnt the reason why.

It's easier to dominate at C in the pro league then get transitioned to the W, then to be a natural C, in a new environment , dont get to play and Dominate as a C and immediately be transitioned to the W. Confidence out the door. Terrible prospect Development tactics. Not even letting the guy get a feel for the game from His natural position has fail written all over it. Edmonton's prospect development team is as inept as it gets.

He'd probably produce in the top 6 here. That's where he put up points. Biggest problem was he was a churchmouse in the playoffs (consistently) to the point of being actively bad, which makes him a perfect Sabre.

Nah. It's all good. Happy to see him having success. Great kid and easy to cheer for. Just a bit timid when the games matter.

Hope Savoie turns it on eventually though. Really intriguing prospect.

He was traded because we needed to free up money

What a beauty of a primary. Such a heads up play on the goaltender shifting to the other side.

McLeod is a perfectly fine regular season player, maybe even a pretty good regular season player. But is absolutely ALLERGIC to physical contact. You can't win with that player in the playoffs. When you consider that we needed to shed salary, and got back a pretty decent young player (who likely never becomes the player McLeod is truthfully), and 'm still perfectly fine with the deal.

Glad he is playing well for the Sabres, I've always liked McLeod as a person, seems like a good guy.
