The Buffalo Sabres have announced that they traded Matthew Savoie to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for forwards Ryan McLeod and Tyler Tullio.
McLeod, 24, recorded 30 points (12 goals, 18 assists) in 81 games last season. He also contributed four goals in 24 playoff games during Edmonton’s run to the Stanley Cup Final, where they lost to the Florida Panthers.
McLeod will likely be the Sabres 3rd line center to start the season.
Tullio, 22, has not played in the NHL but recorded 21 points (9 goals, 12 assists) in 54 games last season for Edmonton’s AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors. He has accumulated 47 points (22 goals, 25 assists) in 117 career AHL games.
We have acquired Ryan McLeod and Tyler Tullio from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Matt Savoie.
