Episode Notes
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.
