[Jfresh] La comparaison Erat/Forsberg est idiote, une meilleure comparaison est Hagelin pour Domi/Ehlers (sans savoir lequel sera Savoie)

   Probably the best comparison/description of the trade I’ve seen with comparable names.

   The Forsberg / Erat comparison was ridiculous in the first place. Forsberg was better than Savoie at the time of the trade and Erat was almost a decade older than McLeod.

   I like the Domi comparison more than Ehlers. Ehlers is 6’0 and Savoie being small with his recurring shoulder injuries is not irrelevant to his value.

   Would love 2015 Carl Hagelin on the current Sabres

   Even this comparison does not do the trade justice because it makes it sound like a 50/50 possibility. When it is more likely 20% Ehlers, 50% Domi 30% AHL/NHL tweener. Probably not exactly like that. The Erat comparison is silly.

   Whatever. We won’t really know who ‘won’ the trade for a few years. If McLeod helps the Sabres make the playoffs it will at least be a short term win for Buffalo. If he plays for several seasons and is a key part of a team that makes a deep run, that’s a bonus.

   If Savoie becomes a middle six 20 goal guy at the same time then it’s a wash. If he exceeds, then Edmonton can be happy. If he washes out, well, they needed to move McLeod anyway. If he lights the league on fire and scores the winning goal in game seven of the Cup final, I will cry bitter tears into my Labatts.
