@@JacksonSheppard-mq9gg just saying this isn’t a player that will likely produce in the bottom six. He needs Ice time and quality line mates to score. And to be a good grinder he needs 4 more inches of height lol.
I genuinely hope he gets topline Bakersfield minutes, he came from the WHL last year, and having 6-7 minutes a game in a bottom 6 role is not enough for development. I am all for him getting 21-22 minutes a night in bakersfield, coming up next year for a 3rd line slot beside henrique
Sabres fan here. Happy for this talented kid, wish him the best of luck in his career in Edmonton. McLeod will definitely help our depth...his speed and tenacity stood out in the Oilers games I watched.
Welcome to Oil Country, Matt! Can’t wait to see you grinding for one of top 6 spots sooner than later! LFG Oilers! Gearing 🆙! Super Stacked for next season for sure.
Sabres fan here, we're happy on our end too. He's one of 6 high end prospects we have with similar characteristics. McCleod is a different type of player and one that we need. Seems to be a win-win as long as Savoie can stay healthy for you guys. He's had some injury troubles and got jumped for a roster spot by his younger former linemate
@@ML-my8qq you guys don’t need speed. Sabres do… BADLY. We also need a forward who is better defensively. Sabres scored a ton 2 seasons ago but were still on the outside looking in because they simply didn’t have anyone to limit the other teams scoring. Last season it was that we simply didn’t know how to not lose and by that I’m talking getting to overtime or holding off a surging team. He really helps us in that regard. Sabres definitely overpaid but it was a nothing pick that we obtained while still drafting the guy they wanted
Scouting Report: Seems like a great kid, good speaker and by all accounts has a ton of talent. Speedy, feisty player with tons of talent often compared to Brayden Point. He had 71 points in 34 games last year in the WHL winning the WHL championship with Moose Jaw. 9th overall pick in 2022. 3 years remaing on ELC and then RFA after. Wasnt old enough to play in the AHL full time, but played 6 games last year where he had 5 points in 6 games. “Savoie is like a gnat in the offensive zone. He’s always buzzing around, and no matter how many times you swat at him, he won’t go away. You can’t stop Savoie from making plays in the offensive zone; you can only hope to contain him. He’ll pester you on the forecheck, create turnovers, attack the puck, and constantly keep his feet moving. “Part of what makes Savoie so much fun to watch is that it seems as if he’s never content with standing around. He has to move around and keep changing the angles and lanes for the defense, slowly wearing them down until they make a mistake, and he can strike.” Best of luck to Matt and welcome to Oil country! In
Great to put something in the Stables! Too many picks Traded the past few years to try and win now. In the next couple years we're going to need young guys to start stepping in.
Always liked Jim Matheson until Leon pissy interveiw. Since then l think he has forgotten how to shut up and listen after a question. Getting old and grumpy maybe lol
I hate that guy he is an old set in his way guy that gets mad when he dosnt get what he wants. Remember the Leon interview the guy don’t care about any of these players he just cares about getting sound bites for his blog. That’s why Leon was mad at him because he took what Leon said previous to that interview and twisted the narrative. I hate Matheson and have no clue why he’s still here.
Buffalo fan here. I wish Matt much success (except against the Sabres). I followed him in Prospect camp and I was there when he hurt his shoulder last year. I'm not convinced he isn't injury prone but in any event I'm hearing from Edmonton fans that we got the short end of the stick. However, Mcleod adds something to the Sabres with his PK and defensive play as well as his speed.
You got a decent player, just paid way too much for him. Just don't expect McLeod to play any sort of physical game....at all. He's not a line driver either. Great speed, sound positional on D, good PKer.
Good grief man.. These media guys need to let the kid actually answer their freaking questions before popping another one on him.. I think I counted like 9 or 10 times they cut off the tail of his answer to ask him another question... Just pure class from Edmonton sports media....
@@Dr.Acula76 yeah I didn’t mean ice time as in game time with Davo just meant I hope he gets lots of ice time, AND gets to practice in the off-season/ pre season games/practice a lot with McDavid
Sad to see Matt get traded. We got something we needed back and frankly.. we have so many players like Matt trying to crack the lineup.. Bensen did, but we still have Helenius, Kulich, Ostland, Rosen and Wahlburg all trying to crack the lineup and we can't play them all.. we need the role players too and McLeod fits that.. Good luck Matt, hope to see you in the NHL soon..
@@scout8424 I think the kid is going to be player! I love to hate Oilers but in all honesty you guys have been through alot! (Chirelli). Good to see Canadian markets thriving.
i get Stuart Skinner Vibes from this Talent he is 20 yrs old and Gonna be a Machine in EDM Guranteed He Out Works Derek Ryan For Roster Spot good 4th Liner to get something Goin Cloud didnt Sync Properly and Im Glad we Got a 1st RD Top9 Pick for a 2-3Rd Round Talents Out door
Even if savoie becomes a McLeod type player.(he very well be better) Good cap management by having a guy making league min for 3 yrs other than pay 2 million for a yr.
@hardcaliber19 yamo was 150lbs.. his guy is 175lbs and 5'9 which is 2 inches taller than yamo so that dude for sure doesn't know what he's talking about
@@ceeque401listed at 179lbs but who knows. He's 20, guys usually start putting on some muscle then. Caulfield is 5'7 St.louis was 5'8 180lbs he skates better than Yamo. I think he'll be fine. Derek Ryan is only 1 inch and 6lbs heavier. Same with Arvidsson and both have played a long time in the NHL.
in full support of this kid outworking Ryan & Perry to make the team. would love to see it.
@@mrcl_PD I don’t think this kid is really a 3rd liner though
@@brianvanwyk9425he said replace Perry and Ryan those are 4th liners they won’t be any higher I think he could make the team all it takes is a injury
@@JacksonSheppard-mq9gg just saying this isn’t a player that will likely produce in the bottom six. He needs Ice time and quality line mates to score. And to be a good grinder he needs 4 more inches of height lol.
He looks like he’s solid…yamo was small also but finer boned…Mathew looks more thicker and will be a solid oiler!

So pumped. More ongoing competition for those top 6 spots.
i really don’t think he’s cracking the roster, realistically who is he going to replace.. ?
He's not cracking the top 6 this year
In Baker yes in Oilers top 6 how is this even a question he have played 1 NHL game
Start of an absolute dynasty
@connor3792 oilfans been saying that since 2013
Since Taylor Hall@@cowboywayne35
yeah since they cried themselves to 4 1st overall picks
@@cowboywayne35 literally no one said that
Not a dynasty when McOverrated and crysaitl can’t win a cup 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even before he was drafted l liked this kid. Happy to have him in Edmonton.
Jim Matheson.. Thanks again for another wonderful insightful question. We are all pissy because you are still here. Retire already!
Careful. He knows that you know that he's a legend in hockey.
@@JLNjedi think about his wife and dog?
@@sly1465 a legend in his own mind.
I’ve watched this kid lots he’s amazing what a pick up!
God I freakin LOVE JEFF JACKSON. This kid is going to be an absolute unit
He’s a good interview too. Let’s go Mattyyyyyyyy
Sabres fan here. Happy for this talented kid, wish him the best of luck in his career in Edmonton. McLeod will definitely help our depth...his speed and tenacity stood out in the Oilers games I watched.
Speed yes, but he never finishes checks or drives the net

Local kid, top 10 pick, for a 3rd liner who was scratched. What a deal and what a player we got for basically nothing
we love mcleoud tho it was nice to see him live his oiler dream aswell

@@zwhit5760I like your optimism, and no slight meant but McLeod is just so against any kind of physicality. It really hurts his overall game

Me too!….hes really cute!…hope he plays hockey as good as his smile is!
Small but mighty 👍
Sturdy looking kid there
He's 5'9 and 170lbs lol. That's tiny
@@heftygainz still packs a punch
The heck is wrong with Matheson? Just cuts him off halfway through a sentence

Gonna have to grab a Savoie jersey lol that's my name too
super excited to have this guy come to our team young player with loads of potential way a offseason

I noticed that too, Cripes.
Dude plays like a good Taylor Hall hope he gets lots of ice time and practice in with mcdavid. also hope for an insane year for the kid
He'll be in Bako, not playing with McDavid

Still can’t believe Buffalo traded him.
Buffalo has 9 prospects right now I'm sure they will be fine without him
Still don't understand why Buffalo did this, but it is what it is
Looking forward to October and next season looks to be a good one for the Oilers, go for that cup
Great head on his shoulders, really good acquisition
Welcome home son ❤️
Oilers won this exchange hands down, Savoie has a lot of upside
Is alo sponsoring oilers?
spector is such tool, proceeding to ask him several questions about jerseys
As a sabres fan hope he has a great career and its probably gonna bite the sabres in the butt later on 😢
from a Canucks fan. HOW THE F*** DID YOU GUYS LAND A TOP 10 DRAFT PICK WITH NO LEVERAGE!!!!!
Magic. Jk. We do not know how Jeff Jackson does this
@@scout8424 I think the kid is going to be player! I love to hate Oilers but in all honesty you guys have been through alot! (Chirelli). Good to see Canadian markets thriving.

Would love to see Carter Savoie sign an AHL deal with Bakersfield for a year or two and play with his brother. What a cool line that would be
Savvy was made of glass during his time in the Sabres system. Good luck to him.
Welcome to Oil Country Matthew 😊
Would've been cool if they re signed Carter as well
Maybe that will happen…I believe the trial is this fall and let’s hope these young guys are cleared …I would love to have Carter hart!
Oh I see you meant his brother ….sorry I was thinking Carter hart!
Get a lawyer
@@dianedyck3474Carter hart hey? The kid that took part in a gang rape. Don’t expect to hear his name in an NHL game possibly ever again.
I started watching him around when Bedard became a name crazy fast this kid at times better skater then Bedard crazy pick up
Matheson is back god... help us
This guy is meant to play with mcdavid!!! He’s good skilled, smart and fast and can shoot the puck
the best pick for edmonton
Seen the ALO hat on Davo as well. Is it trendy or do all these guys just love Yoga that much?
@@TheWarawaj sponsorships
i hope he gets to play nhl games early
Dumb question, but do we still have his brother Carter with us?
Even if savoie becomes a McLeod type player.(he very well be better) Good cap management by having a guy making league min for 3 yrs other than pay 2 million for a yr.
Fleeced and
Stolen
What happen to Raphaël Lavoie (C/RW) ? is he gone ...he was talented player
Just re-signed
Why Sabres 😂this kid is going to be great
As much as it hurts we need immediate improvement on defense and third line. I hope it goes well for both teams.
they have a ton of elite prospects already, losing him means nothing.
No he won’t 🤣
@@Canucksnatesalty
I don't know about this . . McLeod was good for Oil country . . .

That’s Great,smart,fast,great shot❤️🇨🇦🏒🥅
