The Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers made a big trade last year in which Ryan McLeod was sent to Buffalo for Matthew Savoie, who has not done much in 24 games with the Oilers so far. A look at what has happened so far shows the Sabres are getting everything they wanted when they acquired McLeod, and the Oilers are trying everything to get something out of Savoie, including playing him a lot with Connor McDavid.
Is Savoie ever going to become an impact NHL player? Some of the numbers show he’s not flashing that type of potential yet. Plus, Colten Ellis is getting a third start in the Sabres last four games. Is Lindy Ruff trying to get the most information possible before deciding on a roster move at goalie?
And why the Sabres lineup looks at it’s best with Tage Thompson at center.

The Oilers have NOT given him the opportunity wtf are you talking about? You clearly haven't watched the games lol
I hate Noah on the fourth line let him play on the third line and put kozak on the fourth line
Ellis starting again. Which one of our goalies is going to be traded to the Oilers for a vet forward? I believe its in the works …
Unfortunately when it comes to the “Revenge Goal”, it tends to lean heavily against the Sabres.
So if one IS scored, I wouldn’t put my money on it to be McLeod to score it.
I say keep Ellis, trade UPL and let Levi stay in ROC.
The real questions are: Are the Oilers worse without McLeod? No. Were the Oilers going to give him the playing time and money that the Sabres did? No. Is he a nice player? Sure. Are the Sabres better with McLeod? Not really. To me, it's a trade that isn't some amazingly big win because it didn't move the needle at all for either team.
Butter Dish promo wins the trade hands down!
