The Edmonton Oilers made a big trade today, sending Ryan McLeod and Tyler Tullio to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Matthew Savoie. In case you didn't know, Matthew Savoie was the Sabres' 9th overall pick in 2022 and is widely regarded as one of the league's best prospects, which makes this deal all the more fascinating.
As I like to do when any big Oilers news comes down the pipe, I jumped in the studio for a quick 15-minute reaction episode to the trade and offered a passionate plea to Jeff Jackson to remain on as the team's GM. Given the way this dude has handled his business over the last week or so, it's almost impossible to expect any more from Jackson, and I wonder if all of this early success is changing his mind at all about whether or not he wants to remain as Edmonton's general manager.
Either way, this was a significant trade for the Oilers after what I'd consider to be one of their best free agency days ever, and I was too excited not to talk about it.
