@toddq7943 3 күн бұрын

Just to give a little insight on KA thinking. McCloud is going in likely as 3rd line center, but also is excellent on pk. Sabres pk has sucked for years, I'm sure that's the reason for bringing him in. Along with the Sabres logjam of young talent ready for the NHL made Savoie expendable. And coach Ruff prefers big bodies which obviously Savoie isn't. Great stuff buddy, keep it coming!

For the oilers this is fantastic. Savoie is on a 3 year entry level contract so that’s less than a million on the oilers books and they can grow him in Bakersfield. The oilers have so much depth right now there’s no rush to call him up. They could play him in the minors for a bit and see how it goes.

Savoie has 1 game in the NHL, then he was sent back to the minors. He's 5'9" and 179lbs. he better be fast. Buffalo could use a third line center with speed and that's what they got, cost them Savoie, eh. Savoie could be an all star in the AHL. Maybe the NHL but no guarantees.

Kevyn Adams is black-balled. Other GMs don’t return his phone calls. He has to overpay to do anything. At least Buffalo got a 3C. I like Savoie a lot, but he’s not going to be ready for a while. He’s really small, going to take a few seasons in the AHL for him to get bigger and learn.

@krt88nc 4 күн бұрын

I like this deal for Buffalo. Trading a strong prospect like Savoie’s sucks but we still have 5 prospects similar. Rosen, Kulich, Ostlund, Benson and Helinius are all similar type players. Where do they all play? You gotta give to get. McCloud fills a much need role plus he’s a great penalty killer. Krebs? Have you watched hockey. He simply has not developed. And what’s wrong with a solid #3 centermen?

The Sabres are literally 20+ deep in prospects without Savoie, plus they have younger guys like Quinn, Peterka, Benson, and even Cozens is only 23. Plus, they have 10 picks in the 2025 draft as of now. Savoie can be replaced. Overpayment? Absolutely, but the Sabres need to improve the team now, which fans have been demanding. Adams has definitely improved the bottom-6, which was a necessity. There could still be a trade or two yet to come - the season doesn't start tomorrow.

@mattmason3592 4 күн бұрын

Seriously, I think everyone needs to calm down. Savoie was very likely heading to Rochester this year. At this point, he's been passed in the depth chart by several such as Kulich. We have our top 2 centers so there just isn't much room for him (maybe as a winger?). I would've liked to see a little more come back, but honestly, if we get a #3 center out of it (which was a need), then this trade is fine. Sure, we don't know if that's what we're getting, but let this year play out. I'd like to see a top 6 left winger come via another trade and there's a whole offseason for that to happen. This video is less than an hour old. Let's determine the winner and loser after this season (or later).

Arizona could hardly give Zucker away at the TDL last year, and Melenstyn has played the vast majority of his professional career in the AHL.
