It's disappointing to see Savoie leave, but McLeod's speed aligns perfectly with Lindy's style of play. The Oilers have acquired an excellent prospect who is likely to be called up mid-season and make an immediate impact. Meanwhile, the Sabres already have a wealth of similar talent. Hopefully, this trade will prove beneficial for both teams.
Class. Cheers Scooter. You got a real speedster there. Hate to see him go for a prospect. The ghost of Nail Yakapov still hangs heavy in our memories. heheh!
Hope your prediction proves true. Best of luck to Ryan and the Sabres next season.
carter isn't on the oilers, he wasn't signed this year and is a UFA currently
Savoie is also going home he’s from Saint Albert which is like 10 minutes from Edmonton.
lol not even 10 minutes. Just have to drive down Mark Messier Drive. Less than 2-3 minutes.
It borders edmonton, cross the henday and your there.
Good caps dumb for oil best of luck to McLeod hopefully he is the guy that can push the sabers to wild card
Carter Savoie is not part of the Oilers organization. The Oilers chose to not extend him a qualifying offer.
McLeod was quite noticeable on the ice against the Panthers, more so than many other Oilers. Hope he continues his growth as a pro in Buffalo.
Sabres fan , I was definitely taken back by this trade. Until listening to this video . Buffalo has a serious face off issue and hearing a 58% win at the dot changed my mind as this is what we need plus his size is also a plus . Savoie was a small player with definate up swing but we have plenty of small skilled players . Watching the playoffs made me realize that even if we had made it this year we would have got steam rolled . We bulked up and added grit. Judt need our skilled players we had to find that mark of 2 seasons ago
50.8% faceoff win percentage. 56.6% shot share is what will really help the Sabres though.
@@AshLee-jb1khthat shot share is a product of playing on the oilers
mcleod is not gritty at all. not a hard nosed player. struggles with that a lot. he has the size to do it, and if you can bring that out of him in buffalo, he’ll be excellent
@retrovibez1176 the grit I was referring to is in the o5her players added . McLeod is the faceoff guy we need and is also defensively sound. If Ruff can get some grit out of him than that is a plus
Personally, I'm glad to see GMKA willing to part with a prospect like Savoie, in order to get better now.
Even if they don't think so today, Buffalo fans will love McLeod who is a smart perimeter player with a high hockey IQ that plays fast, defensive minded hockey.
It's safe to add McLeod's name to the list including Malenstyn and Aube-Kubel; additions, whom Rob Ray and Dan Dunleavy won't be able to shut up about this season.
We paid a top 10 pick for a guy worth a second thats bad stop coping
@@k41ly76 You're another shortsighted fan with an eye on the playoffs that doesn't have any idea, what it takes to get there.
Matt Savoie was going to play in Rochester this season. Tullio will take his spot now and Lindy Ruff gets himself a 3C.
Ruff and Adams have given this team a new identity, fast, tough and defensive minded.
McLeod stands 6'3'' near 200lbs and plays a better game off the puck than most prospects play on the puck.
His hockey IQ and abilities to play the perimeter, locate open space and get there; opens the ice for his teammates.
He kills penalties and forces more turnovers than any DB Terry Pegula pays on the Buffalo Bills.
The top 10 pick you're having difficulty coping with trading away hasn't developed into an NHL player.
They traded for a top 50 pick in McLeod who was selected 9th overall in the 2nd round.
The difference, one round and one has already developed into a quality 30PT producer at the pro level.
The team hasn't made the playoffs in 13 seasons, so the GM and HC put together a roster via a draft day trade, free agency and now trading a prospect for a player who is a proven NHL'er and playoff point producer who just tallied 4G in 24 playoff games and wasn't on the ice for a goal against.
That's BAD😂
Do have the ability speak in fully formed coherent thoughts that you develop on your own or do you just pile your garbage opinion with the rest of the uninformed trash takes on the internet!? COPE.

Yeah Mcleod is like a 20-30 points player lmao
@@ScottStenlund-x9m if you didn't have a stat sheet telling you what to think you wouldn't know what to look for in a role player.
Know your role and shut your mouth.😂
Sabres have enough prospects. We can't fully afford to wait on potential production, especially when considering conflicting play styles. This move, along with one's already made, will get them to the playoffs.
This fits both teams. Sabres get developed players, Edmonton gets a good prospect for later. Edmonton is definitely looking like a Presidents' Trophy winner right now, to me at least.
Fleecing doesn't begin to describe what Edmonton just did to Buffalo
cool profile pic
Mcleod is solid and an nhler. Stupid take
@@fermentedmoosenucks9499
Oilers fan, McLeod is okay but his potential is nowhere near Savoie.
Savoie is on an ELC. The oilers are in cap hell.
No team should have given more that a second for McLeod
@@fermentedmoosenucks9499 Cope lmao
@@kalenluck Agreed. He had value but getting this high end prospect knowing edmonton needs to shed some cap is weird. Only thing I think is Buffalo really liked him or didnt think Savoie can develop solid top six winger
Savoie was made expendable by Benson. Then there are still 5 1st round picks in the pipeline.
Carter Savoie wasn’t issued a qualifying offer and is now a UFA
A team with 15 million in Cap space should not have to give up a top 3 prospect of the franchise for a 3rd line center.
Even if you perceive there being long term value with McLeod, why should you overpay this badly? Sure, he’s an RFA next offseason so he’s not going anywhere and maybe you think he can be a really important piece of your franchise going forward. This doesn’t make sense though. Savoie is way too good to give up for McLeod, and unless McLeod becomes a 60+ point 2C, Bufallo will severely regret this. Sure, there’s obviously a chance Savoie doesn’t pan out, but all signs point towards him becoming a top half of the lineup player and potentially a superstar talent.
Believe Carter Savioe was released
excellent in depth video and released immediately unreal job!!! Oilers making all these crazy moves all without a GM lol love it!!!
Sabres got nhl player who fills his role. Savoie could b anything. Sabres have way more 1st and 2nd rd draftpicks who might be anythings still in pipeline. 13 yr playoff drought gotta end. Need nhl players now who know their role and do it well.
🥳PLAY LA BAMBA BAYBEE🥳 any vid with this announcement needs La Bamba background music LMAO WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO as an Oilers fan I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!YAASSSSSSSSS BUFFALO TAKE THIS NON SCORING, NON PUCK BATTLE WINNING, NON DOING ANYTHING SOFT STICK OF BUTTER BUFFALO BUTTER STICK MCLEOD WOOO HOOOOOO !!!!!!!!! ONLY OILERS FANS KNOW THE PAIN OF WATCHING MCLEOD!!!!!!!🤠🤠🤠🎉🎉🎉🎆🎆🎆
Not to excited....yet.
I guess we'll see how things work out during the season for my Sabres.
Sabres do have a good analytics department. Try to spin the trade the best way possible
Savoie will be the number 1 center when Connor and Leon leave in free agency 😂
They would be traded for assets so unlikely. You dont give generational talent for free
Sabres fan here. Just picked up McLeod. Seems like a solid 3c kind of guy based off what I watched of him in the playoffs. Edmonton is getting a pure scorer in Savoie, albeit he's small and a tad one-dimensional in his play.
What do you all think about McLeod when he was in Edmonton? You guys have a future scoring 2nd line center in Savoie
oilers fan here, loved mcleod, gives it his all every game, sometimes i even mistook him for mcdavid with the way he would skate and make some plays
Super speedy guy who can help you on the forecheck. He’s got great hands, and with more minutes he can become something great. He also has a surprisingly accurate shot.
If he was more physical he would have been a perfect prospect. Loved watching him play. Leaves some to be desired though
Reasonable trade. Even hugely hyped prospects usually don't make it in the NHL. McLeod is a legit NHLer, proven playoff performer, and a strong defensive forward. If he just made a little bit less on his contract, the Oilers would have loved to keep him.
Oilers didn't qualify Carter Savoie, he is now a UFA
His brother Carter was actually cut from the Oilers not long ago...awkward 😜
To be fair, the ceiling of Carter Savoie was never as high as his brother.
We don't know how good savoie is?Maybe its because the sabres never played him? "Hey we played him ONE game, clearly he sucks!" What a clownshow of an organization. Trade a 1st round pick for a 3rd liner that's an unrestricted free agent that everybody knew the oilers were looking to salary dump. Like all the sabres players that they give away to other teams, this guy will probably help the oilers win the cup in the next 3 years.
TERRIBLE trade Sabres 😂😂😂
Ryan did not really get a chance to play up in the lineup. Buffalo had poor special teams. Big guy with speed. Best player wins the trade. Ahl is littered with 5'9 guys.
McLeod did get to a play hes soft could only produce when he was playing draisaitl hes very limted when it comes to offense he played him self down the line up
McLeod played on Drais wing a couple games. He isn’t a top six guy
@@travischarlet5731 Just as PK and a defensive forward he has hard to find skills. Possible late bloomer?
@@kalenluck Just as PK and a defensive forward he has hard to find skills. Possible late bloomer?
Does Mike Milbury work for Buffalo? I swear it's the type of move he'd make. Anyway, good one Oilers, keep it up.
McLeod is only a perimeter player. He does not play through traffic and does not go to the net. Its too bad because all that speed is just wasted.
oilers win
Buf fans are overreacting. Savoie is a high scorer - in the WHL. He could not make the Sabres' roster last season. He may eventually be a 70pt top 6 player. Buffalo needs impact players next season...not eventually.
He was 19!
That's a crazy bad take
Agreed. He’s 5’8” 180 lbs. If he turns into the next Briere, it’ll suck for us Sabres fans. But, for now, i’m ok with it. 3rd line C was a gaping hole and we got a guy with speed who thrives defensively. It’ll free up Cozens to be the offensive player he’s more suited for. Now find a LW to play with Tuch and Tage.
Wasnt he hurt (shoulder surgery)?
He has a better chance to succeed with the Oilers. Meanwhile McLeod can be a bigger part of the sabres
Sabres got absolutely ripped!! Pathetic
Dumb
Do you wait for the other CZcamsrs to give their educated opinion before you make your little clips?
Carter savoie wasn't qualified
He’s 5’9 …………
Bedard is too
Brayden Point is 5'10' and 178 lbs -
Er mah gerd
@@basicboomer519 ya he’s also too small
@@Evan-dc6mt ya true. Players like those need to be surrounded by a few goons to make sure they aren’t targeting them.
Sabres fleeced themselves. KA better hope Matt Savoie does not beast mode. Feels like desperation more than anything. Who's the next GM keep the revolving door going :D
Massive over pay, they need to bring back a lot more. But Savoie was not one of their top 3 prospects outside of the NHL. Even if they had Edmonton throw in a pick, it would have looked a lot better
Lmao sabres are a disaster
Good deal for Edmonton. Bad deal Buffalo!
That is why the Sabres will always bottom feeders.
Remember you saying this here when they are dominating for years.
If it isn’t poor trades. It will because of the salary cap. No team can keep their best players forever. Unless they all decide on taking home town discounts.
@@bjarczyk Maybe start by once getting in playoffs. I actually hope they can do it. I think their roster is playoff caliber with super talented defense, Good goalie and solid offense. Still i would not be suprised if the once more somehow crapped themself
Buffalo fans clamoring for players who hadn't yet played. Examples: Bills: Shorter, Wade. Sabres: Levi, Savoie. Shiny new pennies who hadn't yet achieved the accolades. It happens every year.
Sabres seem dead set on never making the playoffs ever again. Worst run franchise in the NHL
Savoie would’ve got maybe 10 games this year. I didn’t expect him to make the team out of training camp. They needed to get better for this season. Yes, Savoie has tremendous upside but how far in the future is that going to be?
@cmills-fl4gn they won't make the playoffs this season anyhow, Ryan McLeod certainly won't be the difference in getting them there. This just hurts the Sabres long-term, helping to cement them as a perennial bottom feeder. Savoie has MUCH higher upside and is the far more talented player. McLeod can skate fast, that's literally it. Poor passer, poor defensively, lacks finish.
