Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Savoie Gets an Audition With the Trade Deadline Looming

Have you watched McLeod lately? Yes he doesn't hit, but he is still a hard forechecker who causes turnovers and gets the puck to his teammates. Defensively reliable and wins faceoffs.

Nah, I don't watch Sabres games, they're an unwatchable team mired in the worst playoff drought ever, so I'll have to take your word for it. I'm glad the wake-up call seems to have worked out alright for him, as I was a fan of the player despite him being too soft in the playoffs (guess he won't have to worry about that with Buffalo).

That's what he was in the regular season here last year also. Then he became a shell of that player in the playoffs just like he did the year before that.

It won't matter next year. This team's window is closing fast, if it's not already closed.

Also Eberle wasn't good in the playoffs his first year either. Good thing we traded him for nothing.

Have you seen the garbage we trot out day after day after our best 3 forwards ? Within a month Savoie will be skating circles around every one of them if not already. His hockey IQ is elite. Something this forward group lacks.

this is on Katz
he hired these bums and it's been bad karma ever since the Bowman hiring
"Best in Class" were Jeff Jackson's words LMAO

He signed him, called him best in class, then Bowman displayed that with Holloway, Broberg. Best in class indeed ! His interview just a week ago was mind numbing. Seravelli looked like a turtle asking him sofball questions. This is one time guys like Spector should grow sone balls and call him out like he calls players out.

Fire Bowman chants should ring Rogers place moving forward. Embarassing hire.

We know what he is in the playoffs which is what matters the most.

I thought he played fine in the '23 playoffs. Last playoffs wasn't great 5v5 but was integral for the PK. And this team needs better PKers.
