shrader Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 I’ll be curious to hear any info on the throw in guy. This isn’t a case where teams need to even out the number of contracts… unless Edmonton and other moves have put them close to the limit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm what it is? He's heading into his 5th year and will be an RFA next summer. Edited July 5 by dudacek 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing center behind McDavid and Draisaitl (whenever they aren't on the ice together) and now Henrique. Savoie could become a legitimate top-6 forward, but the Sabres kept the better Winnipeg ICE prospect within the organization, and now have a legit 2/3C to push Cozens and take D-zone faceoffs for Ruff. This is a good hockey trade from both sides. 14 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#freejame Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Can McLeod realistically challenge Cozens for 2C? That seems like a low opinion of Cozens or a high opinion of McLeod. 1 minute ago, DarthEbriate said: Playing center behind McDavid and Draisaitl (whenever they aren't on the ice together) and now Henrique.

Brawndo Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 11 minutes ago, dudacek said: There's that thing about knowing your players better than anyone else. There's also that thing about having too many of the same types of players. And that thing about the necessity of getting better now. I liked Savoie, but I think he was more likely to become a Tyler Ennis than a star. Not sure if McLeod can be more than what he is right now. That's consecutive trades made where Adams "lost value" to "fix his roster" It's what a lot of people wanted. As usual, time will tell. “Watching Zach (Benson), most nights he was as good if not better then Matty (Savoie)” -Lukas Suter, Sabres Western Scout from the 2023 NHL Draft Embedded Video. Savoie Value to the team started to decreased the second Benson was drafted 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascade Youth Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 (edited) The Athletic also reported a few weeks ago that Savoie wasn’t thought of as a future star around the league. Also, weird, aren’t the Oilers without a GM right now? Edited July 5 by Cascade Youth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache of God Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 There was never going to be enough room for Savoie, Kulich and Östlund. It's always been obvious that some of them would be moved. I don't know anything about this guy but reading that's he's laser fast and can actually play defense makes me like the trade . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorner Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 31 minutes ago, Archie Lee said: 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. Agree. We lose some upside definitely, and the coming year is still hard to predict as this isn’t exactly a splash, but it’s very solid. It was huge to replace Krebs as 3C 31 minutes ago, thewookie1 said: According to the Oilers, he's a very soft player. I hate overpaying regardless though; we're being torn a new one on the HFboards This is a good trade!

GASabresIUFAN Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Just now, Shoot da Puck said: This will sell alot of tickets Huge move I’m pretty sure this is sarcasm, but it is a huge pressure release trade. We all knew (as did the rest of the NHL) that we couldn’t enter next season with Krebs pencilled in the 3C. This move gives us a legit 2-way 3C who kills penalties, wins draws and who is young enough and cheap enough to be a piece for the next few years. It also removed a forward from our logjam of forward prospects. I might agree that this move is “boring”, but the 2024/25 Sabres are better now than they were this morning. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 The prospect I would have been most happy to jettison is Rosen, but if McLeod is an ideal solution at 3C, is Sabres property for at least 2 seasons, and can slide up to 2C when needed, then…. Savoie we hardly knew thee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 7 minutes ago, #freejame said: Can McLeod realistically challenge Cozens for 2C? That seems like a low opinion of Cozens or a high opinion of McLeod. Last year, Cozens had a slow start, then his concussion. It took him a long time to look himself, but HCDG always kept him in the top 6. McLeod will likely only ever be a 3C on this roster as well, but he has the 200' game to push on Cozens if injuries/slumps take place. Ruff will mix-match lines and ice time and this is a good piece for that. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your meaning but I’m celebrating the fact it’s not a hockey trade, tbh we sold a prospect and bought a now player big day 10 1 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
