Weave Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 @Eleven would be so happy with this. Hopefully he knows. Where is the old lady meme. It’s been 13 long years….. The best prt of this trade? There is no room for a ***** rookie on this squad unless they legit beat out an actual good NHL player. 6 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have rather given up Krebs and a prospect like Ostland. Have Kulich still and this years 1st Rounder. If McLeod is good we will only have a 4C open next year without a Trade. We have fewer Forward spots too. This is what half of the people are yelling for. More Ready then Savoie for sure.

TRIP65 Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 2 hours 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. Beck Malenstyn was a Player we did NOT have That is something your not drafting 2nd Round and getting to play for you 1-2 years. Besides we still have way too many Prospects 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of how fast the bottom six had become until this thread, so thanks, all, for the edumacation. Other than speed, deep playoff experience, and some good metrics, what excites me is that this trade means the Sabres really can't justify keeping Krebs in the lineup. Plus, Malenstyn, Aube-Kubel and Lafferty have some jam. Other teams will think twice about bullying our guys. They are not goons but are hard nosed players who won’t put up with bulls**t. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we have 1,2,3,4C covered with a Backup in Krebs. Good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRIP65 Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 First trade made where I thought Adams did something he needed using a Prospect he really Valued and got a Very Good return. Hope this works out for BOTH Clubs cause I really would have liked to see Savoie make it Big for the Sabres. Now it will be McLeod. Don't seem to miss Middlestat so much either now.

TRIP65 Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 2 hours ago, Brawndo said: “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 Savoie lost out cause he got hurt in the same year Benson arrived. Both had to go back to Juniors or stay with Sabres. What Savoie did in Juniors was SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!! 71pts in 34 games is no easy feat and Savoie made it look easy. If he lands on a Top 6 line he will be a STUD offensive Winger That said, I like McLeod, better fit for Sabres right now. Sabres need a Fast Start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRIP65 Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 2 hours ago, Thorny said: Don’t really think so Well, does it matter either way. Training camp will spell out the lines. Cozen deserves a demotion if he isn't better prepared this year. Completion has gotten better since he doesn't hold a huge size advantage anymore. Probably a whole bunch slower too. Let the games begin! 2 hours ago, Flashsabre said: Helenius made Savoie expendable. The Sabres have added a ton of speed up front this offseason. Does Tullio go to the Amerks? Tullio’s dad owns the Oshawa Generals and a minority piece of the Sens. Tullio played for the Gens and was a good player. He will be a good AHL player at the least. Not a big guy. Amerks, no question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Fine, I'll do it. Edmonton realized that more ex-Sabres gives you better odds to win the Cup. Kane wasn't enough against the superior Panthers numbers. First next ex-Sabres to win a Cup could be: Kane, Skinner, and Savoie. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRIP65 Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 2 hours ago, Thorny said: I have to laugh at this people, we don’t need to trash Savoie now. The point is that he’s a GOOD PROSPECT That’s half of what makes the trade so promising Makes me feel Adam gets it now and could even still do more if the Right Trade appears. Could still use a Top 6 player at Wing or Center. Get a Center, Cozens goes to Wing, 2 hours ago, Brawndo said: I’m not trashing Savoie. McLeod will help the Sabres next season and is a huge improvement at the 3C Savoie will not.

TRIP65 Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 2 hours ago, That Aud Smell said: 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 Even after this we still got back another Center as a Prospect who did well. Outside of a 2nd round pick used, we got another one trading back to 14. So where have the Sabres lost any Prospects?? We got two players too that will help immediately. Looks Like a WINNER to me!
