Trading McLeod wasn't necessarily the best for the Oilers with hindsight but it was the best for him. It was a self reflection trade. I doubt he ever becomes the player he is on Buffalo with the Oilers. If people are thinking we are getting the same guy from Buffalo, you're mistaken.
It can be the best for the Oilers if we would need to open up the wallet to keep him. It's better to get Savoie for him rather than lose him for some offer sheet. Getting Savoie is great imo as he has the better chance to replace an aging top sixer of ours

Just clarifying.
So what aspects of the team do you have a positive take on?
I’m positive about Bouchard and think he is just going thru a slow period like he did last year.
I have said multiple times that I think our Pk is still good cause statistically it is, but our goaltending is letting it down.
McDavid and Draisaitl are always positives. Ekholm is still so good.

The trade itself wasn’t bad, it’s what they did to replace him that was underwhelming to bad. We had to trade him away because we signed Skinner who isn’t gritty, physical either but is awful defensively and his offensive game has fallen off a cliff it seems. Objectively good trade but the situation around it hasn’t been great.

I’m also positive about some things hockey.

Unlike you.

You thrive on negativity, enjoy bringing posters down to your level.


Eberle was also a much better player than McLeod when he was traded

McLeod’s in zone defense was almost as bad as eberle before he got traded
Dude I literally post positive things all the time, not my fault you thrive at yelling at other peoples negativity.

Even if McLeod becomes a decent player for the Sabres and Savoie ends up being a bust, I’ll still be happy McLeod is off the team. His boneheaded giveaways will always piss me off
