Ignoring the fact that the Savoie trade should've been done 2 years ago to get a better player, only to get excited for a desperation move...


- washedup20

we traded him for a player that had a worse pp60 in the playoffs last season than corey perry

I would do anything to trade for a middle 6 center

Adams needed the extra two seasons of failure to ensure he made the right move....nvm it was all Grananto's fault.

That player dominated the PK and had his D-zone starts above 50%. Where as Perry did not.

Trading Savoie lowers the prospect pool ranking...all hope is lost without the #1 prospect pool for the USNTDP Sabres.

I would have liked a guy closer to frost than mcleod

So you wanted another offensive specialist.

yeah

we had a hard time scoring (bottom 10 in the league) and bought out a guy with over 90 goals for the past 3 seasons

esp with the chatter mcleod may be playing wing on the top 6

Ah Yes, Edmonton hires Hockey Jim Jordan to run their franchise. Congrats to covering up for r*pe, Stan.

Oh my!

just got the text

it’s liquor

I think both can be true: his value has slipped and it was a significant overpay.

Desperate GM's do desperate things.
- Lunaion

What's your recourse with Savoie if you held on to him for as long as the Sabres did, if they don't trade him?

Hope and pray he ends up as a top 6 player?

Well depends on Savoie, kid could explode with some of that talent he will be playing with. 2 different styles of players. See how it goes and if McLeod helps us will be the telling tale. Until we hit the ice and see what happens, we overpaid.
- Buff36

Until they both hit the ice, the trade is still TBD.

Oh my!
- LandlordTom

at least he did not bail out people who burned cities to the ground

His most common linemates were Corey Perry and Warren Foegele. These aren't bums.
- Lunaion

Corey Perry is very much a non factor in this point in his career.

this narrative you keep providing needs way more context than you give it.

it's 'what can you do for me now', not 'what'd you do for me the past couple years'.

despite skinners points, he provided 0.4 standing points. McLeod provided 3.2 in a lesser role.

guys that get their poop pressed in within their own zone is about as fun as getting shot with an airsoft gun.

If we are so worried about Mcleod as a 3C, I would suggest they have about 13 other players to worry more about.
Tage as 1C at $7m
Tuch as 1RW
JJP as 1LW
?? As 2LW
Cozens as 2C at $7m
Quinn as 2RW
Benson as 3LW
UPL
Levi
Dahlin as 1RHD at $11m
Power as 2LHD at $8m
Bryan as Top 4
Joker / Samuelsson as Top 4

this narrative you keep providing needs way more context than you give it.

team with the most goals wins games


we used that cap savings from the buyout to overpay zucker for 1 year, so I guess congrats

how many games do you think we win if we had 12 vlad tarasenkos on the team

absolutely irrelevant to the point.

but the point by itself is indeed an issue i too have with the team.

do you think skinner will produce with the oilers?

we are paying him 27 mil to be on mcdavids wing

at least he did not bail out people who burned cities to the ground
- homiedclown

So, now that Republicans have made old age and cognitive decline the main talking points of our upcoming election, will they still trot out an unhinged, 78 year-old convicted felon and sex abuser as their candidate?

After all, if he were elected this year, he'd be older than Biden is now when finishing his term.
