Why would you be surprised at this point? Buffalo has been dysfunctional for over a decade.

Strange trade. I don’t get Buffalo’s thinking here.
I can only assume I must be missing something.

As a 40 year Buffalo fan I don’t know how much more this fan base can endure. Sell the team to a competent owner!!!

After getting close to the playoffs it looks like we’re heading back to the… actually, we never left the dumpster. I guess we’re just digging deeper into the dumpster?

I’m confused. Isn’t Savoie a high end prospect ? Why get so little in return….

I actually feel really bad for Buffalo fans. When will it end?

Mcleod is decent and proven in the NHL. Not calling it a good trade but that’s why.

What are they doing? Becoming a playoff team.

I love Ryan McLeod but I can’t understand this trade from Buffalos perspective. It’s like a trade in NHL games where you add Tullio in as an afterthought to just get the trade value bar enough to be accepted.
But Buffalo fans, you’ll love McLeod. He’s an awesome dude

Buffalos like “we have a chance of not sucking soon, what do we do?!”

This makes the Sabres better today. Savoie wasn’t ready it seems. And desperately needed a 3C. I get the thinking I’m just surprised we didn’t get more than that back.

They traded a 5’9 guy who has never played in the NHL… for a 6’3 proven NHL player. It’s not as crazy as people are making it out to be.
Matt Savoie is also from Alberta. Nice for him.
The trade makes sense. In a few years Edmonton might be lookin good with this. Or maybe not.
They’ve had multiple talented tiny guys in the past who haven’t been able to stick around.

Am I drastically overrating Savoie or drastically underrating McLeod?

Read the Sabres forum. They’ve convinced themselves it’s a good move LMAO

This seems weird. Savoie seemed like a decent prospect. Good chance this will look bad for Buffalo long term.

And as usual, the Sabres sub thinks it’s great. Smgdh.

I don’t understand why they didn’t make a deal for Scott Laughton before the draft. He’s a character guy and better than McLeod. Probably could have gotten Savoie straight up too, that would have been a good get for Danny.

Sabres are committed to being harder to play against… but it’s not like they have a surplus of offensive talent that’s established….
The GM knows he needs them in the playoffs this year to keep his job, and he couldn’t wait for Savoie…

Loading up on young players… but savoie we shouldnt have traded.. were so fucked.

Why not? Mcleod is a bigger player with more experience.
