Lol 34 games - good reading Indes.

I’m pissed that this trade happened. Savoie is the exact type of player we should be targeting. McLeod is average at best

There would be better value options available.
This is terrible value for them.

A guy like Alexandre Texier seems like a fair comp for McLeod and just went for a 4th.


Atleast use a guy like Savoie to go after a Necas or Ehlers type.

I would’ve traded anyone on the roster not named Zary weegar or Andersson for Savoie. I might even considered Andersson if it was Savoie and a pick

Savoie must have asked for a trade home. Is the other Oiler's Savoie his brother?

[Beninho]

According to Pronman’s pre draft analysis of the Sabres many NHL teams did not value Savoie highly. His numbers are good but maybe some red flags in his game that don’t show on a stat sheet.

Only time will tell

He is. But why trade him if the return is that brutal

[TheScorpion]

God awful for Buffalo. Dunno what the hell they're thinking.

He’s also 20. I’ll take 2ppg with some red flags any day

Don’t worry, Mr Savoie’s development ceiling dropped about 6 feet joining the Oilers.

Well I’m annoyed. Better return than any of Conroy’s trades because Adams lost his mind. Yikes, would hate to be a Sabres fan.

He wasn't qualified however and is currently a UFA.

Oilers fan in the Reddit thread about the trade. When a fan of the team expects nothing in return you know a GM messed up.

Wouldnt be surprised if future considerations make the comeback

Edit. I was deeply deeply wrong.

How could Buffalo make such a god awful trade? A 20-year old right shot C? Would have loved the Flames to grab him since the price was basically nothing. Buffalo.....**** you you're now one my hated teams.
