The summer of Jeff Jackson continues as the Edmonton Oilers trade forward Ryan McLeod to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for prospect and former 9th overall pick in the 2022 NHL entry draft Matthew Savoie! There has always been some controversy surrounding Ryan McLeod’s playstyle and if was contributing enough to the Oilers offensively given his $2.1m dollar cap hit, and his play in the post-season was called into question numerous times. I personally love the kid and wish im all the best in Buffalo! Sabres fans, you’re gonna love him!
Let me know YOUR trade reaction and thoughts in the comment section!

no disrespect to Ryan McLeod as a person but….. I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!YAASSSSSSSSS TAKE THIS NON SCORING, NON PUCK BATTLE WINNING, NON DOING ANYTHING SOFT STICK OF BUTTER BUFFALO BUTTER STICK MCLEOD WOOO HOOOOOO !!!!!!!!! ONLY OILERS FANS KNOW THE PAIN OF WATCHING MCLEOD!!!!!!!!!
Is Matt Savoie related to Carter Savoie? Both born in St Albert, two years apart. I was not a fan of Ryan McLeod and his style of play. Hope he does well in Buffalo however, we needed to move salary for prospects or picks and he was odd man out. More to come as we are still over by, 300+ K and need to sign Holloway and Broberg for probably 2.4 combined. Seems awfully close to Ceci’s 3.25 salary…..giving us close to 700k on the good side of the cap.
Please don’t use that phrase summer of….:it’s bad luck…..look at Ottawa
They got Skinner…thats gotta help
I liked McLeod I'm rather sad to see him go
The only problem I had with Macleod, was the way he played hockey, other than that, I didn't mind him.
