Let's step back for a second...

Many including me were okay with Stamkos at 11-12 million per

BUT we are furious at Okposo at 6 million per?

Everyone calm down...yes Jr even you

From the last blog






My uncle's friend is not in the room with the brass because he's on the training staff so some stuff I get is bits and pieces due to him not being right there in the room.

I was good with 6 for 6 so 6 for 7 doesn't really bother me too much

Years doesn't make a difference to me unless they put a full NMc in there. That will be the interesting info to get

There is absolutely zero reason that signing Okposo for 7 years is necessary.
- buffalofan19


You should sulk for the next 7 years over it, waiting for the chance to tell everyone you told us so. I can't wait to seem him on Eich's wing with hopefully Vesey. Christmas in July baby!

I see that McCabe wasn't the only RFA that signed for us yesterday. Cole Schneider did as well.

I could like every one of these pieces.

I recall you coming in from time to time with tempting stuff. I can't recall if you ever closed a deal before.

I will be watching all this carefully, because THIS IS VERY EXCITING!!!

I think he plays with ROR.

Vesey Eichel Reinhart is the sabres young gun line for the next decade

Does Okpo-no have to live with Moulson for the first year?

I'd be so much happier landing Okposo if we did not already have MM getting overpaid.

No reason to rush this f'ing rebuild.

Okposo is the caliber of player I don't want tied up for more than 3 years, 4 at the most.

I only like to see elite players locked up for more than 3 or 4 years.

It's not the money. It's the term.

This would be Gerbe-Overreaction worthy, but in a positive way.

Ennis and a 2nd for Fowler?

Okposo 6 per.

McGinn 4 years at 4.25 per.

Sound about right?

- mhp



I'd be ok with that.

I'd really like to see if Ennis/Girgs can bounce back from careers lows last season.....but to trade one of the 2 for Fowler is pretty good as well.
