I don’t know why posters are jumping to conclusions about what this deal means for Rosen. The Oilers were dictating who they wanted.
Rosen. I replied to a post that referenced management being higher on Rosen than Savoie. I think they are higher on prospects taken later like Neuchev Poltapov and Wahlberg making a contribution above their draft position like JJ did.Poltapov is higher than Savoie? Am i misunderstanding?
This reeks of the Oilers having the leverage in this situation and using it to get Savoie.This reeks of Seth Appert going to bat for his AHL guys because Savoie hasn’t been in that club.
we've moved into the make up opinions to justify our rage phase of the trade already?I wasn’t actually serious but I’m pissed I really think Savoie is going to prove a lot of people wrong this year on Edmonton.
Are you going to slash his tires or something?However we might want to start to limit Adams moving out prospects until we see some results
tough love.This reeks of the Oilers having the leverage in this situation and using it to get Savoie.
Don’t start going down some conspiracy rabbit hole because you’re angry. I say that with respect, not nastiness.
Make up opinions? I’ve been consistent about my opinions on him.we've moved into the make up opinions to justify our rage phase of the trade already?
Leverage to get McLeod? Lol. You really don’t think Appert is going to tell his head coach how good Rosen and Kulich are?This reeks of the Oilers having the leverage in this situation and using it to get Savoie.

And really, who hasn’t done that alreadyThe good news is all of you with #71 Olofsson jerseys may be able to convert them to McLeod.
Seriously Sorrentino Sports on Military in Tonawanda will do it very reasonably if you remove the old nameplate yourself
Adams doesn't know how good Kulich, Savoie and Rosen are? Oilers could have asked specifically only Savoie.Leverage to get McLeod? Lol. You really don’t think Appert is going to tell his head coach how good Rosen and Kulich are?
i think benson immediately showing up had more to do with savoie shaking free than anything else. Benson doesn't become a full timer and I dont think Savoie is a touchable prospect. But with Benson up, Kulich needing a plan to come up, Helenius having some small potential as being a dark horse guy, Savoie becomes another piece instead of the piece.Savoie got injured in last year's TC when he was tracking to make the team. Benson eventually won that spot, and we couldn't take him off the ice.
The positions that 1) they adequately assessed his value and 2) that assessed value didn’t determine whether he was traded or what for aren’t mutually exclusive if you think the organization is a clown showOne of the things I just can’t square in my head is when people say “he’s too good a prospect and a clear future top six star!” You know who doesn’t think that? The people who drafted him and have watched him and worked with him for two years. Or they wouldn’t have moved him. They can be wrong…anyone can. But you can’t be both blown away by their scouts and the work they’ve done and then say they don’t know what they’re doing with a player they’ve scouted more than any team in the league. It doesn’t make sense.
That line of thinking can go both ways. If McLeod is such a defensive stud 3C, then why would the Oilers move him for futures when they are in win-now mode?One of the things I just can’t square in my head is when people say “he’s too good a prospect and a clear future top six star!” You know who doesn’t think that?
