The Buffalo Sabres and Edmonton Oilers have completed a significant trade involving key players. The Sabres have acquired center Ryan McLeod (1 year @ $2.1M) and forward Tyler Tullio from the Oilers in exchange for center Matt Savoie. This trade marks a strategic move for both teams, with McLeod bringing his faceoff skills and speed to Buffalo, while Savoie, a skilled right shot forward and top prospect, joins Edmonton. Savoie was a big part of Moose Jaw’s WHL Championship. The deal was confirmed by multiple sources and became official on July 5, 2024. The trade discussions began last Friday during the first round of the NHL Draft and continued until the agreement was reached. The Sabres, who were 32nd in the league last season, hope McLeod will bolster their performance.
