Okposo tells Sportsnet he chose Buffalo because they have a chance to win the Cup.

NSH paid him a big contract last year and cut him mid season. Don't put your chips on that as your opening argument.
- JVince11



Yea they were wrong to do that. He's a good/cheap bottom 6 option. I just like what the Canes have done over the last year or so.

Maybe? But I doubt that many were lining up. 6 sounds about right. We overpayed, but at least it isn't like 8 million. He probably had the same offer from someone if anything

I agree
I think we can give him up to 9.2mil per and not have to give up the four 1sts
I believe the compensation would be two 1sts, a 2nd & a 3rd
I'd trade that for Kucherov all day

Taking out the players that will not be in the NHL I'd say around 13-14 mill

If we could offer him longer term and stay under $7,510 it would be one 1st a second and a third.
