Ryan McLeod is considered the 2nd fastest player in the league. Definitely a top 6 player......

Link above says bottom six.

Totally out of left field and I really like it.

Half the time I watched the Oilers play I would think McLeod was McDavid on the ice. He is that fast. Age fits timeline too.

Great 3C. Size, great wheels, good defensively, can chip in offensively. Still think another move is coming. Where does Krebs fit in?  Maybe an Ehlers deal is coming.

McLeod is making 2.1 and is an RFA after next season.

I congratulate Adams on finally making a deal.  I haven’t seen McLeod play much, but the deal seems fairly reasonable.  McLeod is a real NHL player with 3 years of experience.  He has improved each season.  His contract is reasonable, the team still has control and he’s only 24.  

Faceoff % over 50% last year and was slight shaded to Dzone starts.

Big, fast and pretty much the definition of a 3C.

Won over 50% of his faceoffs as a 3rd-year player, which makes him the go-to for the Sabres.

And just 24, so he fills that 3C window, now and moving forward.

Matt Savoie, we barely knew ya.

Very happy with this trade. Likely slots Krebs to line 4 and now we have 13 NHL forwards. Not earth shattering, but a solid move. 

Unless they are trying to flip him along with more futures for a top 6 wing.

That would pretty much complete what's needed.
