- Take 2: A look at the Sabres free agency signings and trades: WGRZ sports reporter Lindsey Moppert and Sabres/NHL insider Paul Hamilton discuss the Sabres' free agency signings and trades this offseason.
The trade was solid. Send a prospect for an NHL roster player they need. I wish he’d started making these moves a year ago.
I'm STUNNED at the amount of vast insight this lady has about hockey, the Sabres ..... and sports. No wonder she's on television as a sports reporter ................. She HAS to have been raised in, well, I'm guessing, Saskatchewan. Or Ottawa????? If NOT, HOW could she possibly be on NBC affiliated "sports" coverage??????? LOL!!!!!! Hahaha. Channel two ..........
She's awful nice to look at.
Love what Adams has done to improve the bottom 6 forward group. Lots of speed and toughness now. No more SOFT Sabres! Sign RFA UPL Krebs and Malenstyn, (please avoid arbitration) and they are all set for the season.😊
100% agreed Neil, I plan to talk about this tonight also, its insane how negative our fanbase is on so many solid moves Adams has done to make sure we never have a 4th line like last year again in our lifetimes lol
I like the positivity…… but as an oiler fan who just watched this for some info on Savoie…….. I can tell you Macleod is one of the softest players maybe in the league. So beware on that
He may be but now he is in Lindy’s system and we will take that for all of his other pros.
Set for golf early next summer. That is being realistic.
Why sign Krebs ? He does nothing well, except being a pest
Savoie was passed by Kulich, Ostlund and Rosen while he piddled around in the WHL.
Scoring goals against 17 yr olds! Wow!
Helenius and these others have performed well against MEN older than they are, in the AHL or Europe.
Savoie will be in Bakersfield before long, if he survives that kind of beating he never saw in juniors he may come up.....some day....maybe.
Too small.
Wow ! She’s stunning! 🤩
Out of your league 😊. My hole life, I don't think I've been with 4-5 /10 . I typically got the used up 2-3's. Hey , I can't worry. You adapt to the stock. Life is short 😢 💔
Oh by the way. The Adam's trade in my opinion is rubbish 🗑
Very knowledgeable.
yeah but little to much jewelry for my taste, never understood the point of jewelry, i also im kinda freaked out by metal touching the skin.
Sardinian looks like Kucherov on breakaways
I live in New Hampshire close to UNH. Saw Sardarian play several games. As the season went on his ice time went down. His skill set is limited. He basically was a bottom 6 forward on a mediocre college team, albeit one that does play in the tough and competitive Hockey East with BC, BU, UMASS, Maine, UCONN, UMASS Lowell, Northeastern and Merrimack.
As much as I like the high flying, goal scoring, quick paced games, it wasn't working. Your goaltender is asked to do too much in that style of play. The league is all about goal tending. It's a "must have" and we finally have someone, in UPL, who is more than passable. We have to support him with a sound defensive structure and tougher players. We have too many midgets and not enough board rattlers. I'm glad we are bigger. I hope they play bigger. I have to believe that Lindy Ruff will demand it and reward it in the players who show it.
Sabres fan complaining cause they haven’t had a team with an identity in over a decade
Exactly brother!
No. Sabres fans have suffered through terrible seasons and to offset some of that suffering the Sabres were rewarded with high draft picks. Adams didn't think of the fans when he fritted away a top prospect for a third liner that Edmonton was trying to get rid of. Adams is clearly desperate to keep his job.
@@thewolfdoctor761 Tell me who you draft and what you would do in the draft as a GM, your philosophy as an identity? Tell me arm chair GM, how to run the sabres. I grow tired of the bitching and complaining, and wish most of you fans would just wait and see how it turns out, if it's a great move and the sabres make the playoffs, it's water under the bridge, but if it's another failure, well Adams was on his last leg anyways, so it doesn't matter at this point, now does it?! At least he's actively trying to get them over the hump, and making trades, looking at other options.
@@midnighthoodstrikesback Calm down. You'll have a stroke.
@@thewolfdoctor761 Nah, I'm just calling it, how I see it, no reason to say I'm heated. We don't know how the moves Adams has done the last few weeks will pan out or not, so it's you guys who need to calm down. Chill out, see how it goes, and if it's another failure, well then bye bye Adams. Gesh....
Chairs are pretty sturdy. Built good.
He looks quite sickly. Ozempic or Monjauro may save his life.
paulie is a funny guy
Come on Paul...trading Savoie isn't the fans point...it's about what they traded him for. If he were included in a trade for as examples Ehlers or Necas nobody would be complaining.
That’s on the fans for viewing players one dimensionally. This was a phenomenal trade.
Mcloud is an NHL player, which is what we have neen lacking for years. Definitely a great trade, good for our team.
McLeod is one of the best 3Cs in the nhl. Elite defensive forward and elite on the pk. Good trade
@@Mralanyrx Oilers' fans are saying Buffalo got fleeced. To be close to being a fair trade, Edmonton should have added a first.
@@bjarczyk Phenomenal for Edmonton. Buffalo got fleeced.
You forgot to add in the nearly 7 million in present salaries that next years free agents are making now when discussing next years cap space. Losing Mitts and Skinner's offense definately hasn't been mitigated with this years free agent gains. Plus, we better hope none of our top 6 forwards gets hurt of it could be a long season.
If we look at all the massive improvements in defense in the bottom 6, keeping pucks out of our net alone makes up for Skinner. Skinner probably wouldn’t perform as good on the 3rd or 4th line anyways. These move drastically improved our team. Improvements in team defense, aggression, and getting the offense going again will make us a playoff team.
@@bjarczyk Greenway, Okposo, Krebs and Gergensens all had good plus/minus stats, Robinson too, last year, so your point doesn't hold up, our pp was a big problem, what's been done to rectify that? We have a decent roster, but after years & years of high draft picks and lottery picks, will struggle to make the playoffs as it stands now. Pitt, Jersey, Ottawa, Montreal & Detroit will see to that.
They have to overpay, knowbody with some sense wants to come to Buffalo, and that includes McLeod, When he found out that he was being traded to Buffalo, He screamed "Why Me! " Also, Krebs needs to pack his bags Asap..
no, actually he had a soundbite exit interview with Jim Matheson, and he sounded excited. He was slowly getting pushed down the lineup in Edmonton, and got scratched multiple times in the playoffs. Most teams he's a certified top 3 center, kind of hard with McDavid, Draisaitl and Nugent-Hopkins down the middle. In Buffalo, he'll flourish in that role, and could end up a top 2 center on the team. He was in Edmonton's top 6 on numerous occasions during his career. He's rated as the 2nd fastest skater in the NHL, and beat McDavid twice in Edmonton's annual skills competition. To add, he was a primary asset on the Oiler's penalty kill, which set records in the playoffs, going 100% in two series.
McLeod has a unique set of assets, and he's still quite young. Lindy Ruff is all about speed and structure. Ryan is the perfect player for Ruff to mold. Savoie was just another prospect with offensive prowess. Years away from the NHL still. Sabres are making it clear they're ready to win, now.
And Peyton Krebs has put in the work to transform his game. His 2 way game didn't exist two years ago. He's come a long way, and still the has potential to be a producing 3rd liner in the NHL. Also still very young. Let Ruff cook with ingredients that Buffalo has grown over the years, and the new spices from the Boss up top
Would quality teams trade a top ten draft pick for a bottom six center? No chance. Buffalo did. If the Sabres tried to trade Ryan McLeod right now what would be the return? A first round top ten pick? No chance in hell. Would they get a 2nd round pick? Highly unlikely! Would they get a 3rd rounder or lower? Probably. Do desperate teams do desperate things? Absolutely. Kevyn Adams should have been making moves last summer and he did virtually nothing with the forwards. He let Skinner, Oloffson and Zemgus leave for nothing this year. Good asset management? Adams has been here for several years and so far what has he accomplished? Zilch. And yet all I hear is happy talk from the Sabres.
Not a desperate move. A completely logical one. This trade was phenomenal. We got the 2nd fastest skater in the league with elite defensive analytics.
Oilers get Skinner and Savoi and Buffalo gets McLeod. Adams is in over his head. If Skinner isn’t your guy you move him at the trade deadline and get something for him.
Maybe they know more about Savioe than we do so they traded him when he could. He is also injuring prone
What did Boston trade Joe Thorton for? Just curious...
Sabres have been collecting little boys for years. Time for grown men on the roster. Other teams use this team as in the regular season as a tune up game. Enough of this crappie hockey
Have to disagree Paul, Sabres still don't have anyone to bring respect when it comes to dropping the gloves...look at Malenstyn's fights...loser saying that I agree the bottom 6 is better. Now get a tougher guy on the blue line...Samuelsson and Power play small for big bodied guys. Luv to see the Sabres get Manson if Colo needs cap space if he'll waive to come here.
Power plays small & soft
Try as hard as you like, you can't say Buffalo did well in this deal. They basically did the Oilers a favor for taking McLeod's contract , because he needed to be dumped. I can see giving up a third for McLeod but not your top prospect. This could easily have been in a month , the Oilers trade a 3rd and McLeod to the Sabres for a 4th or worse because the Oil had no choice. If Adams really liked Savoie as much as people claim this deal never would have happened. What did Jackson do? Did he call up Adams and say "Hi, we need to dump some salary, how about you just give us your top prospect for that 3rd liner you have missing on your roster." LOL. Lets keep in mind even though Buffalo has a couple RFA to deal with they do have 13M in cap space. Big win for the Oilers on this one.
Yeah, Adams was taken to the wood shed on this trade.
Nonsense. Look at McLeod’s size, speed, PK, and defensive analytics. This was a phenomenal trade for us and I guarantee you Lindy helped pick him out. Our fans look at stats too one dimensionally.
@@bjarczyk Seriously, are you Sabres intern? Other than Oilers fans, you are the ONLY one who considers this trade to be phenomenal.
He is 97th percentile in defensive analytics, elite on the PK, and 2nd faster skater in the league. All the improvements in keeping pucks out of our net alone make up for Skinners one dimensional style of play. If you read comments on other videos there are plenty of other fans who see it now too. And believe me I absolutely love Savoie. The trade was still great.
Hi Im Lindsay Muppet. ...and um, um and...and OK, um....
Do you have anything intelligent or meaningful to say? Ridiculous comment.
The top teams in the league are and will be loaded with former Sabres leading the way! Frustrating.
paul always apologizes for the head office that hasnt reached the playoffs in 13 years, i dont get it.
regardless of savoie size, injuries, blabla.. he had a market value, that wasnt returned. isak rosen for mcleod, and its probably a 50/50, savoie for mcleod, 70/30? even though i liked aspects of the trade, i had problems with it, and pretty sure kevyn adams is not a god.
The sabres will NEVER DO ANYTHING AS LONG AS TOILET PAPER TERRY & KRAZY KIM OWN THE TEAM
The only thing that needs to change now are negative fans stuck in the past.
Krazy Kim? You mean 😏 she's a Karen, soccer ⚽️ mom ? Yeah
@@bjarczyk FUCK the sabres they have ZERO HEART OR PRIDE
