>But what’s your perspective on that trade? I’ve been told that Buffalo offered it up. Really? Yes. We’ll talk to Dave about that. That’s what I was told last night. I was like, how the hell did this happen? And a couple of people were like, well, the Buffalo offered. Well, I text you, I think an expletive. You did. And you’re like, what? What happened? The trade. And you’re like, whoa. Yeah.

Hello Hockey is an Edmonton based sports podcast, which means it’s probably safe to assume their source is on the Oilers’ side. While the hosts were shocked and excited, unfortunately they didn’t give us any information was to the organization’s reaction to being offered Savoie. The Sabres have clearly identified the players they want and are willing to pay the price to get them.

With this trade and the Malenstyn trade, It does feel like KA is just going after player that he specifically wants, not necessarily players that are “available.”

Oof
Had a feeling
Buffalo offered him and edm was like
“well McLeod is a super useful asset for us, but you offered 2x the value and Savoie is close to NHL ready so… sure!”

Why is this episode titled June 25 when the trade just happened July 5? I’m not seeing any episodes newer than July 2
Edit- todays eps just hit Apple podcast app ~30min ago

Savoie’s profile actually reminds me a bit of former oilers player Kailer Yamamoto. Both undersized but skilled players. Both spent there D+2 season mainly in junior. Kailer has had 3rd line production the last few years and is currently an rfa. Savoie could certainly have a much better career but this comp doesn’t seem that unrealistic given what we know up to this point.

It sounds like KA maybe knows something the Oilers don’t? Or he wants “right now” results and seeing is how deep we are in prospects (and the position Savoy plays), KA doesn’t want to wait. I’m willing to see what McLeod brings to the table before I make a judgement call on the trade.
