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

[MOGlLNY]

Proven 3C???? Why Henrique replace him then in the playoffs? Brah pass over that joint

I don't even know why you're still allowed on this board when all you do is come in to troll. Jumping off the franchise to follow around a 24 year old who doesn't know you.

So what went wrong in the playoffs? That's obviously the biggest red flag here.

Per Oiler fans, he's not real physical.....which is/was a problem against Florida

Can’t wait to ship Kulich and Ostlund plus a 1st for a soft and oft Injured Ehlers to really ignite rebuild 5 by end of 25.

Edit. Would probably need to add Byram to that at Adams currently price rate.

Can’t wait to read the 5 or so delusional people on this sabres board saying it’s an amazing trade to.

This is a tough one to swallow for me because Savoie was my favorite prospect since we drafted him and I still think he has a Point-esque ceiling.

But I recognize we dealt from a surplus to improve a weakness, and for that I commend Kev. I hope this deal works out for everyone.

Curious to see how Krebs fits in. I wonder if there’s another move coming (maybe something like Krebs+Rosen for Farabee?).

This post is what I think. Not happy to lose Savoie, would’ve rather moved Rosen, but I get it.

it's a roster building trade that yes, in a vacuum is an overpay. Calling Savoie the 'top' prospect is debateable. He's most likely a W, JJP, Quinn, Benson all ahead of him and likely locked in, Kulich, Rosen, Wahlberg etc still to come and add in Helenius & Ostlund. Might as well trade the small guy with durability issues to fill a major need. Add another SPEED player.

Do something KevYn!!!

I don't know anymore what Adams doing.

Building a team.

I like this trade.
The Sabres don't need another small-ish forward. Savoie has skill, but he's 5'9". We have that guy already -- Zach Benson. Heck, considering Rousak, Kulich, Rosen, Ostlund are all under 6', deal from a position of strength (small, quick forwards) to get a position of need - size. McLeod is 6'3" and his analytics are all good. Aside from McDavid, RN-H, and Hyman, he was one of their best Corsi For forwards. He had a higher percentage of DZone starts than all of them.

He struggled against bigger teams in the playoffs this year for sure. That being said, he had the best metrics on the team against Eichel last year when the Oilers lost to Vegas. Absolutely a cup caliber 3C in this league.

Despite whether you think this is a good/fair deal or not.

I'm sure the "MAKE A TRADE" guy at the development camp is probably now screaming, "NO! NOT THAT!"

I find that thought amusing to say the least.

Sucks that Savioe was shopped. But with Benson, Ostland, and others in a crowded prospect pool. We needed to slim it down for some thing that's NHL ready.

This seems like a potential quality for established quantity type move.

And hey, maybe Mcleod's goal song can be...

 

[joestevens29]

It’s not that McLeod is bad he just isn’t good. Ask yourselves why a contender would move him for a prospect.the guy is just there filling a spot. Was gonna be 4th liner this year

 

[Sabre Dance]

Hmm

 

[Fjordy]

Not bad

 

[Gabrielor]

Folks who don't like this trade in isolation were hopefully also comfortable with Adams doing nothing and waiting for prospects.

Martin Erat was 31 and already on the downslide of his career.

So we acquired a bottom 6 forward who got benched in the playoffs for arguably our best prospect. This is what happens when you sit too long on your horde of prospects.

 

[Turin]

Don't think the value is really there for Buffalo here, but fwiw Mcleod has always been good pretty much every time I watched Edmonton the last couple years. He's very, very fast and plays a simple responsible game. Just kinda soft.

Yup. People should read Chad's tweet from earlier in the thread: people don't value Savoie nearly as much as our other prospects or people on this forum.

 

[EichHart]

Lindy has a system. And now they can run it

At the very least this team will be entertaining. To be fair savoie was a fantastic skater too.

 

[Willgamesh]

Only way this works out for us is if Matt cant stay healthy in the bigger/faster leagues.

Bottom 6 go brrrrrr

 

[DapperCam]

So the Oilers spend more cap to replace this guy with Adam Henrique, and are probably looking to move him and we give up a top prospect for him? I'm kind of thinking KA blinked here. I doubt another team was offering a similar package, and the Oilers wanted to get rid of this guy.

I was the captain of the make a trade crowd.
