McLeod is a solid player and only 24, but for Savoie? Tullio is not a great prospect either.
The bright side at least being Kulich, Rosen, Helenius and Ostlund are still here and the core is young
Matt Savoie, Sabres legend for 3:55
We traded savoie for a 3c? Are you serious?
Brutal. I’d understand for any of our other prospects, but this is a huge overpay.
For Matt Savoie??? Not good
This is a fucking terrible trade
Can the fancy stats people inform me that McLeod is way better than his counting stats? For the love of god please?
I feel like GMKA acted out of desperation here….
Ummm at first glance I’m not thrilled.
Edit: ok McLeod apparently has pretty good fancy stats and a little upside so whatever. Just didn’t think Savoie would be the guy heading out. Still not particularly thrilled.
Welp I get we have a huge amount of prospects but this one fucking hurts…wonder if any other moves are coming
Edit: I feel like we over value the fuck out of our prospects especially with how many we have, they aren’t all going to be on the team and feels like benson is similar to savoie but he was nhl ready quicker
Looking for the next Cirelli without paying the cost for a Cirelli
What an awful trade. 3C for 9OA pick
Nooooo. Really wanted to see Savoie play here 😭
They were never going to chance Krebs being c3
Yikes. This is probably going to look like a terrible deal in 3 years.
They better make the playoffs this year because this is some bullshit
Wonder if Krebs gets sent to Winnipeg now if that Ehlers trade comes to fruition. McLeod is an upgrade over him at 3c
Savoie is low-key glass and was overtaken by Helenius for prospect 1C, so this is great.
Lindy gets his Hecht/Gaustad with offensive upside!
WHAT. Really hope this means something else is in the works because this seems just A BIT lopsided
Oilers fan here, this is my quick unprofessional summary of McLeod: Great speed, best smile, can be skilled with the puck but lacks finish, great on the pk but had some brutal turnovers/failed clearing attempts in the playoffs that definitely costed us games. Hope he does well in Buffalo
Dont like this at all, savoie profiled as a game breaker which imo are some of the rarest guys to have, the ability to create with raw talent and skill… i just dont like this trade at all, rosen and a pick wouldve been much more palatable. Savoie had the highest superstar potential of our prospects and we traded him for a 3rd line checking forward.
well that’s expensive as hell but I really like the player profile, even it doesn’t address top6 scoring
