Gotta agree with Gerbs on this one....I want nothing to do with Okposo...seems like he destined to be a classic overspend by the Sabres who ends up disappearing

No reason to think that. Leino had one good year. Moulson was a 9th round pick and late bloomer. Perhaps he only had a few flash in the pan seasons. Okposo is consistent

You trade for one I don't know who it is but you don't blow your load on a guy that has even reached 30 goals and only 27 goals is his highest of his career

Lost me there, m8. If you've got a name and a price we can have a discussion about it but without that you're just shooting down ideas without adding to the discussion.

We're giving O'Reilly 7 million for 60 points, why wouldn't we do the same for Okposo when he had more points than him last year?
- Zschalberg




What the (frank) does this have to do with Ryan O'Reilly he's a totally different player he's a complete hockey player Okposo Job is to score (frank)ing goals and he doesn't do that

Okposo just turned 28 while Ladd will be 31 in december. That is probably the mean reason I'd prefer Okposo. Both players have their value.

Do you even look up stuff or are you just again spouting nosense.

Okposo is 26th in the entire league over the past three years with 184 points.

Tried to imagine a 3-way trade between them might look like. Had to sit down and take a break.

Wow, somebody needs to chill out. Hockey is about points. Okposo gets points at the same clip as O'Reilly. They've actually had close to the same number of goals in the last 3 years so they're somewhat comparable. You're not going to just say to Okposo "Okay, I only want you scoring goals, no passing the puck at all". He's there to produce goals and whether it's scoring them himself or passing it helps the team.

Why don't you all do me a little favor and go to Google and look up if any of those are secondary points.. The point of this were trying to sign a goal score here

Is Okposo ROR when it comes to defensive zone play? No

But my god it's not like he is Ovi or Vanek either...

I hate these kinds of over-simplifications. Also, since when did Okposo become the second coming of JF Sauve?
