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

[joshjull]

I don’t know why posters are jumping to conclusions about what this deal means for Rosen. The Oilers were dictating who they wanted.

 

[enthusiast]

Roster hole filled but sheesh that seems steep

 

[Tatanka]

Poltapov is higher than Savoie? Am i misunderstanding?

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.

How many legit NHL 3Cs are there making under $2.5 and under the age of 25. I hate losing Savoie. I like having McLeod in the mix.

 

[CrazyWayne]

I don't hate the deal, had to move prospects and actually start building a team. And this trade makes a lot of sense

However we might want to start to limit Adams moving out prospects until we see some results

Now two trades in a row where the value coming in was seen as much less as what was sent out

This reeks of Seth Appert going to bat for his AHL guys because Savoie hasn’t been in that club.

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.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

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.

we've moved into the make up opinions to justify our rage phase of the trade already?

Are you going to slash his tires or something?

tough love.

It's obvious to me that any GM would be twisting Adams' balls given the amount of prospects he has and the pressure he's under heading into this season. If we don't make the playoffs, he'll be fired.

 

[Dingo44]

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

Make up opinions? I’ve been consistent about my opinions on him.

Anyone following baker or fairburn on X? Curious if they are pod-casting tonight. I usually miss the youtube notification.

Leverage to get McLeod? Lol. You really don’t think Appert is going to tell his head coach how good Rosen and Kulich are?

 

[Ace]

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? 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.

 

[CrazyWayne]

Adams is officially the anti tim Murray

Tim Murray gave up as much as it took to get his guys and fans loved each move

Adams finally does it and he gets roasted

And really, who hasn’t done that already

Adams doesn't know how good Kulich, Savoie and Rosen are? Oilers could have asked specifically only Savoie.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

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.

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.

But when your favorite prospect gets traded, it never feels good. You always have that tinge of what will we miss out on.

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 show

I’m not convinced it’s the case but they’re logically consistent

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?

They replaced him with Henrique, knowing that would put them over the cap.

I like this piece as well.
