The Sabres have acquired Ryan McLeod and Tyler Tullio from the Oilers for Matthew Savoie.

McLeod settled in on the Oilers third line and penalty kill during the 2024 season. The 24-year-old centre had career-highs in goals (12), assists (18) and points (30) but became expendable this offseason when the Oilers signed Viktor Arvidsson, Jeff Skinner, Adam Henrique, Mattias Janmark, Connor Brown and Corey Perry. In Buffalo, he should serve as their No.3 centre and provide the Sabres with additional speed and penalty-killing prowess.

McLeod was essentially a full-time NHLer in 2022, scoring nine goals with 12 assists (21 points) in 71 games with the Oilers. Entering his age-23 season, McLeod will serve as Edmonton's No.3 centre behind Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl/Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. However, he did see some playing time on the wing in the top-6 down the stretch last year.

The Oilers have assigned Ryan McLeod to Mississauga (OHL).

McLeod was selected in the second-round (No.40) of this summer’s draft and enjoyed a strong training camp. The Oilers have plenty of depth down the middle, so McLeod returns to the Steelheads, where he had 70 points (26G / 44A) in 68 games last year.
