Anyone but okposo

I think Okposo obviously adds some scoring but i think he makes us a slower team. I really have issues with the guys skating and play style, while I love how eberle and Landeskog play, not as much Duchene.

Okposo is not slow. I don't get why people think this. Moulson is slow. Okposo is fairly quick

C'mon hes not a bad hockey player, it would just be a brutal contract.

Yeah, you're right a guy who had a 32, 36 and 43 goal seasons, and a guy who for his entire 10 career before this year he never failed to hit at least 20 goals(his lowest yearly total which came in only 38 games in 12-13) wasn't a star. Get a grip dude. Sure, he looked like he was skating through wet concrete and always looked like he was poopting his pants, but the mother(frank)er could score goals.

Who are you even referring to?

Okposo isnt slow compared to the average NHLer. Hes moving at glacial speed compared to Jack, Kane, ROR, and Ennis.

Who are you even referring to?

Vanek

(frank) it, I wouldn't hate bringing back Vanek.

When you don't score 30 goals with JT that's alarming especially when molasses scored how many 30 goal seasons there ..his best year was when he was with Jt the whole year for 27 goals ..

3 20 seasons in eight years and going to pay him $6 million or seven

Vanek
- ASU_Sabres14

Don't even remember him being brought up. He was definitely a star.

The other guys mentioned in that convo were f'n Dumont, Gaustad, Kotalik, Grier, Hecht, and Connolly. That is why I said "I'll give you Briere and Drury"

Vanek
- ASU_Sabres14

Yeah, guess I forgot to put his name in there, but anyone who had an even passing interest in the Sabres the past 10 years knows exactly who I was talking about.

Vesey, Okposo and McGinn will feel like Christmas in July

I liked those years too. I would give you Drury and Briere but that's really all.
- Phatjohnsn

Your words.

And Connolly was absolutely a star.

C'mon hes not a bad hockey player, it would just be a brutal contract.
- ASU_Sabres14

He's not bad but just average that's why the Islanders didn't want to talk contract with him they knew they could just replace him quick and easy like they always do

Yeah, guess I forgot to put his name in there, but anyone who had an even passing interest in the Sabres the past 10 years knows exactly who I was talking about.
- Wetbandit1

Damn dude, relax. I apparently glossed over his name in the list of people. I was more arguing that the Hechts, Griers, and Kotaliks of the world were not "stars".

Your words.

And Connolly was absolutely a star.
- Wetbandit1

Yeah that was in response to:

when we had Drury, Danny , Roy,

So Vanek and Connolly weren't who I was referring to.

Vesey, Okposo and McGinn will feel like Christmas in July
- Hatboro_Swords

Okposo 6.8 I will say

McGinn 4.5 m

Yep I will pass

mcGinn 4.5
Okposo 6.3 or 6.5 max

Yeah that was in response to:



So Vanek and Connolly weren't who I was referring to.
- Phatjohnsn

You said drury and danny only stars


JPD !!!!!!

mcGinn 4.5
Okposo 6.3 or 6.5 max
- bluengold12

(frank) that more a 3rd liner getting that much wtf

mcGinn 4.5
Okposo 6.3 or 6.5 max
- bluengold12

Paying two mediocre players a combined 10 million is a recipe for disaster.

I dont give a cent more than 4m to Mcginn or 6 to Okpo

Yeah that was in response to:



So Vanek and Connolly weren't who I was referring to.
- Phatjohnsn

Whatever I'm not getting into a semantics argument. Vanek inexplicably take so much poop on this board. Was it his contract? That wasn't his fault. Blame Kevin Lowe. "Hey Thomas how's $50M sound?". He'd have been an idiot to turn that down.

Mediocre? two 20 goal scorers and one who put up more points then anyone on our roster this year isn't mediocre. Give me a break

I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of angry people on here tomorrow if we do end up signing either or
