Everyone is talking g mad shit on Buffalo, but this might actually be it. Maybe he really doesn’t want to play for the sabres.
Before everyone loses their mind in Buffalo over this, MacLeod is a good third line center and an excellent penalty killer. He will definitely improve your pk and won't do stupid things 5 on 5 that will cause goals against often. His speed also keeps other teams on their heels. Like McDavid fast. He was buried in a deep oiler lineup and is only 24. Just wait and see before you get too upset.

I am a bug mcleod fan. Good kid. Loads of talent and potential. His pitfall is he insists playing on the perimeter and never goes to the net. If he learns to do flip that around he will be a great player. Otherwise he will frustrate the shit out of you.
THG nailed it. Buffalo, is speeding up. McLeod is going to have twice the opportunity in Buffalo that he did in Edmonton. It's too early to call winners and losers on this trade. Savoie is a prospect, and nothing more right now. Size matters, and it's yet to be seen whether he can transition to the NHL. Not all guys his size can. In fact, most can't. McLeod isn't going to be a franchise player in Buffalo or anything, but I think Buffalo fans will realize why he was so well liked in Edmonton, in short order. He's a heart player, who is a bit streaky, but he flies up and down the ice, something Buffalo has been sorely missing.

Buffalo season ticket holder here. All the Sabres social media is saying this is a bad trade. I'm not convinced it might be good for both teams. Buffalo has one of if not the best prospect pools in the NHL and all those prospects can not play for the Sabres not to mention he wasn't our best prospect. The other thing is Mcleod is one of the fastest skaters in the league and fits with Ruffs philosophy of being a fast team. He also was ( I believe) the best faceoff man for Edmonton 50.1 percent and that's something we lack. Oiler fans will love Savoie he is a likeable guy and he is very good playmaker.

I feel like saying Jackson took advantage of Buffalo is a bit of a stretch. Savoie has a bright future, but he is one of many fantastic prospects belonging to Buffalo, they also have Kulich, Ostlund, Rosen, and Helenius. All of them have potential futures in the NHL, and Buffalo can't play all of them.
Fair take. I think Jackson did well and he took advantage of Adams' desperation when other GMs refused to. Good for him and the oil. Having said that Adams did what he needed to do. He traded from an area of strength and filled a hole that would have held us back. McLeod helps us us at 3c this year, is good defensively, is fast as hell like most of our bottom 6, good at faceoffs, and is strong pk'er. Hes going to help us win now and for the future.

He will get top 6 minutes every game now, he could become a much better player with this workload. We needed cap and got a great, but not yet proven in the NHL 'prospect'. Win-Oilers just on cap space return for sure.
I think it's a win-win. The Oilers get someone to keep them skilled into the future and the Sabers give themselves a center who can play right now because the fans really only want a playoff berth at this point
Sabres have so many prospects. Noah Östlund, Jiri Kulich, Isak Rosén, Konsta Helenius. No way all those guys + Savoie crack the roster. Cant get first overall pedigree player to help them now with all those picks. Not a bad trade.
When I heard we traded McLeod, I thought the Oilers would not really get much in return and that it would basically be a cap dump. When I found out we got Savoie, I was honestly stunned. He looked really good in the World Juniors last year, and he seems like he’ll be a stud. I also didn’t even know he was from St. Albert
McLeod did really well both playoffs and back end of the season. This helps Buffalo now, but this helps oilers in the future. I didn’t see McLeod staying long anyways
Sabres fans have been complaining about lack of size and grit on the Sabres for years. Oilers fans would know better, but McLeod should help the Sabres with that. He's also still entering his prime years. Savoie is a small prospect, among a lot of recent small Sabres picks. Was he going to break onto the big team this year? Hard to say. If not, then might as well trade him.
He's also the brother of Carter Savoie

I reffed one of Savoie’s games in the CSSHL when he was a triple underage player and he was the best one out there by far. He won MVP of the league that year (one year before bedard won MVP of the league, also as a triple underage)
Great trade for both teams. Sabres (see: Ruff) are starving for solid depth forwards like McLeod, and have a plethora of highly skilled but unproven forwards like Savoie. Obviously Matt has the higher ceiling, but he hasn't shown much to the effect of translating his game to the next level. The CHL rules have hurt his development in my opinion, and there is no better place for him to blossom than in Edmonton. I think 7 times out of 10 Buffalo steals an underrated foundational piece in McLeod, but that Edmonton has a chance of really making this trade look bad for Buffalo.

I find it amusing that people think Buffalo got the short end of the stick with this trade. Savoie is 5'9" and hasn't proven himself in the NHL yet. You don't give away high-end draft picks unless there's something about the player that concerns you. If this was a salary cap move, then it makes sense, but McLeod is 6'3" and a proven NHL player. I understand why Buffalo made this trade.
Good trade all around. Buffalo got a piece they need and overpaid for it which is fine. Buffalo had the deepest prospect pool in the league so they were able to do so.
Love the trade. Home town guys are hungry!
Savoie is 2 years out from being drafted 9th overall. Here in Buffalo we’re all kinda scratching our heads on why he isn’t in the lineup but Benson was his rookie year. Savoie may not be the player we all saw at 9th overall

Ok I’ve looked at the surrounding context of the trade and Buffalo has a lot of players that meet the Savoie archetype. And Mcloud is young enough to prove he is a 20G-60ishP player every year while locking down that third line and PK. And Buffalo is trading from a position of strength for a position of weakness. But I am also tired of seeing Buffalo lose trades all the time.
It seems that theyre giving up D for more offense though which to me at least seems like a bit of a mistep. Dont get me wrong overall this is a win for oilers but it seems they havent really fixed their main problem

@djsmith2871 thank you. The fan base are doing backflips but history has shown us, repeatedly, that it's always the heavier teams who win it all.
Well now Imma have to get a Savoie jersey
sabres make no goddamn sense. you burned season to draft these top prospects and then two years later trade them away for garbage. this is why fans dont want picks
Jeff Jackson took Adams behind the woodshed and had his way.
Please let it be October like NOW!!!
Thank you, Buffalo

Yeah... because a prospect that's still at least a full year out is going to be the catalyst for that 😂
Oilers are alot smaller now, Hope this works

What difference would it make? McLeod refused to hit anybody anyways. He never used his size 🤷♀️

@Swttng780 True, I didn't like that either, bigger teams will run us over
Thank you sabres thank you so much
Can anybody tell me the numbers of salary for these two players? Sounds like it was a dump for Edmonton who just happened to get something really nice in return! Sounds like Ken Holland was Edmonton's weak link.

2.1 million for MacLeod.
Next up, Kulak for some undersized high skill RD prospect lol
Sheeeeeesh Oil country keeps getting deeper with talent I loooooooove it ❤🎉 Lets go Oilers!!!
Too small. Need big strength. Savoie is Edmonton native (St.Albert), good. However little small. Se how it goes. He might make the lineup. Moose Jaw had whl championship this year.
Carter Savoie might also like this!
Holy christ JJ needs to stay GM
LET HIM COOK
His brother plays for the oilers in the ahl so maybe spending some time in the minors won’t be as devastating if he doesn’t make the oilers right away
