Absolutely ridiculous. It's hard to imagine Buffalo shopped Savoie around because I am sure they could have got a better return, so it must have been a case of Buffalo wanting big NHL ready center and coveted McLeod.
Hard not to like this if you are the Oilers. They just cleared $2.1 million in cap space, minus the cost of whomever replaces him on the roster (likely an ELC or player close to league minimum). Probably a net cap savings of ~$1 million and they received a really good prospect as well.

the key is no-one replaces him, they remain over the cap with Holloway and Broberg unsigned (for sure we still don't know the short term LTIR Kane plans)
remarkably the average age of their NHL forwards continues to rise, now at 31.2
Draisaitl and McDavid are their only signed NHL forwards under 30
