Flashsabre Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 12 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: Seems a bit of a stretch It is but Cirelli has been a 40-45 point 2C for them . I can see McLeod making that jump as 3C if teamed with Benson. McLeod is good defensively and on the PK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenWillItEnd66 Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Love this trade. You have to give to get ands what we got is what we need. Our 3rd and 4th line are freaking crazy fast and physical. Still think we need a top 6 forward, but still time 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Sabres Twitter obsessed with “winning the trade” or at least getting what they deem fair value. There should be a program where Twitter accounts like that just get spammed with replies from @PASabreFan 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterExpat Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 50 minutes ago, GASabresIUFAN said: The Beck Malenstyn was a bad trade value wise. This one seems pretty fair. We received a young but established 6’2 200+ fast NHL center with reasonable cost and control for a very talented but small forward prospect in a league that’s going big again. In Tullio, 22, we also received a solid and still young AHLer who blistered the OHL for 42 goals at 19. Seems like a nice add to our young forwards in the A and he may still have NHL potential. This is my take as well. I guess my personal valuation of Savoie was substantially lower than the seemingly generally accepted value. Malenstyn was a big overpay. This one is a lot closer to even. How often do just-entering-prime bona fide 3C players who are under team control at a low AAV come on the market? Certainly not often enough to gauge a concrete trade value. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruff Around The Edges Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 I like the player we got back, just shocked it took Savoie to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have rather given up Krebs and a prospect like Ostland. I’m guessing they, ya know, asked for the better prospect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Östlund is a wild card. Teams will be leary of him because he's not posting huge shl numbers or already in NA. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believer Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 47 minutes ago, Mustache of God said: reading that's he's laser fast and can actually play defense makes me like the trade . And wins half his faceoffs. Let him teach a couple of our kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochesterExpat Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 3 minutes ago, inkman said: I’m guessing they, ya know, asked for the better prospect. I don’t think Savoie is a better prospect over Östlund. Östlund projects to be a center. Savoie is going to be a winger. I just think Savoie is held higher because he played in North America and we hear more about him. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 There ain’t enough room for the 200 sub 6 foot skill guys we have in the pipeline. This move made my pants get bigger. 2 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brawndo Posted July 5 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 5 As @tom webster pointed out the Sabres were looking for a different type of player as their 3C. From a playing style and cost standpoint they found him. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Line Center Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 McCleod only played 9 minutes in game 7 and was a minus 2. Buuuuuuut had a goal, was plus 1 and had 10 PIM in game 6. OA averaged 13 minutes of ice time during their STANLEY CUP FINAL run was a minus 7 and had 4 goals, playing in defensive role. Not great not terrible. Did I mention we got a guy that was just in the SCF - something this team really needs to have in the locker room. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I rather have: Ehlers and Savoie Or Krebs, Helenius, and McLeod ... full disclosure, I think Helenius is a better NHL player than Savoie. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruff Around The Edges Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Should we be alarmed that the Sabres overall prospect pool is overrated or is this more about perhaps Savoie is the one that was specifically overvalued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
