He should just be happy anybody would join this team. The funny part is they honestly think Vessey will choose this team. If they want him, the first thing the y should promise him is that he won't have to babysit and carry Reinhart like Eichel and ROR did.

You are a fool. That might be the dumbest comment I have seen in some time. Enjoy Radulov.

Isn't it nice to be on this side of the jealousy for a change?

Reinhart is the worst #2 overall pick in NHL history. Slow and soft. A complete waste. Habs took a shot at a 1 year deal. Wouldn't shock me at all if they cut the guy before camp even opens. Why would Okposo choose this loser organization?? Answer.... Because the team overpaid , not because the player liked the team. Buffalo will once again be drafting in the top 5. Now they think they have the next Victor Hedman in Risto. Yes he is the best d on the team but he is nothing special at all. Just another European that is "a tough guy after the whistle" when he knows the refs will jump in to save his ass. He is a brave player with his mouth and stick but when confronted he is just a coward like most European dman.

Habs are not a great team, that is a fact right now. But you know deep down they would never tank on purpose. Only losers like Buffalo would sink that low. A complete joke of an organization .

Sabres must hate Tavares. He made Moulson look good so Buffalo got sucked in. Now Tavares did it again to Buffalo I can't wait to watch this sh$t show. It will certainly be better than any comedy show I have ever seen.

Okposo could have gotten that deal from a lot of teams, 6mil isnt an overpayment when some teams pay guys like Radulov over 5mil. Seems like you are here because you are jealous a bit. Reinhart is going to be an excellent player, and he isn't as soft as you think, he scored a lot by getting in the dirty areas and setting up in front of the net. I don't think anyone thinks of Risto as a "tough guy", seems like you are really reaching here for insults. I don't know if anyone has compared him to Hedman, it is way to early for that type of comparison. Anyway it took Hedman 3-4 years before he started becoming a great d-man.

To top it all off , the morons on the local radio show 550 actually said that Okposo was the best UFA including Stamkos. They tried to convince the listeners that Okposo was a better all round player than Stamkos. That says it all about Buffalo and the idiots on THEIR station. I have become a fan of this team just for the entertainment!!

The funny thing is, he has admitted before that he is in his 50's.

Just not worth it to get pulled in by him.

Jesus Christ, the Refs and MODs do nothing about this crap, what a joke. I know people at times don't like Garth's blogs but not 1 Ref or Mod here to do anything.
