Player Discussion Ryan McLeod - C - #71 - Acquired in Trade 2024 - RFA 2026

Sabres fans run so hot and cold, i hope people are patient when he doesn't score for two weeks because that will happen too.

Two weeks? Maybe heading into or out of the tournament break if he doesn't make the team. More likely next June.

How would he make the tournament team? That's a joke. I assume. McLeod will score a dozen goals with probably more ice time than he got in Edmonton. If he scores 15+15, it is a great trade. He's been brutal on faceoffs at 44%. Only the fan boys at the Buffalo News would call him good at faceoffs. He was 50.8% last year, so mostly little above average. Below average previously.

He’s definitely making Team Canada. Might even be captain

McLeod is a depth piece on a cheap contract this year. The mistake was not using the cap room on more players. You have two more years of RFA control. A four-year deal will easily double his cost.

Really impressed so far. If the Sabres can give him 3-4 years at 3M I wouldn't balk at that at all. 30 point two way center with speed? He's what Daniel Catenacci was supposed to be all those years ago!
