Confirmed with Link: Ryan McLeod & Ty Tullio traded to Buffalo for Matthew Savoie

[Mattilaus]

I enjoy his personality in general and he seems like a good guy. But when he opens his mouth and pretends to be an expert on the Oilers, it's so obvious he's just talking about of his ass.

I mean the same could be said for literally any local broadcaster, none of them are super informed on other teams but all need to act like they are. Who would want to listen to coverage if it goes like this:

Duffer: so Marty, what does Edmonton need to do this off season?

Marty: I don't know Duffer. To be honest I don't follow edmonton enough to have an opinion.

Duffer: Thanks for your insight Marty. Excellent stuff.

What beauty Mcleod is gonna be for the Sabres.

Also, didn’t realize Biron was a Sabres Podcaster? How do Sabres fans feel about him. I hate him and think he’s a fraud.

Marty lives in Buffalo still as far as I know.

I met him briefly at Harbour Center a few years back, briefly. Taller and thinner than I'd have expected.

He was pleasant and engaging, and with no one else nearby, stood to impress no one. You get one chance to make a first impression; and he made a good one with me!

Nah he said something bad about the oilers once so he is a horrible fraud

Pretty much the McDavid experience on lottery night as I recall.

Wasn't that Tim Murray that burst into tears when he didn't get McJesus?

The 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

Called it.

 

[HOOats]

Called it.

Now can you predict his goal song? I have a feeling it won't be ABBA.

PS @Dingo44 are you going to change your signature now that #53 isn't here to stay...

[debaser66]

There can only be on 71

What was that Queen song that was the theme for the Highlander TV series?

I predict that.

WON THE TRADE!!!!!

I've watched three pre-season and two rookie camp games for the Oilers and Matt was very, very reserved. I'm not sure why he was being so tentative, but he was.

It makes you wonder what the Oilers coaches were telling him...

Perhaps someone got in his ear about not getting hurt in relatively meaningless games? I'm not sure but he had a grand total of two dangerous looks over the course of five games. And I like Matt, I want to see him do well. I haven't watched someone this much as a Sabre prospect since VO, so there is certainly some attachment there.

Again, there is a whole lot of nothing in that first round thus far:

The biggest name that jumped out at me for who I'd want instead of Savoie was Ostlund

I think Nazar is going to be a real good one.

Personally feel good that my guys were Mintyukov and Ohgen and both look like they're going to be players, but yeah, this draft is looking a little rough thus far.

There you go, trying to ruin all my fun.

Nazar at 9 and Ohgren/Yurov at 16 were my preferences at that time.

I want Kasper and Johnny L

 

[Irie]

Yurov

Definitely this. Yurov was in my top ten, but I would have probably done everything possible to move up a spot or two to grab Kasper first, who I had just ahead of Yurov due to the Russia drama.
