I don't want him here for 4 more seasons

we have had him for 3 seasons and he is part of the reason why we are the biggest joke in the NHL

get's paid, is a no show

how many years do we need to watch this crap?

I've always said to move our late 1st and Okposo, get rid of him and his bad contract.

I would be ok with Okposo and the 7th over all for a 7th rounder in 2024.

Yikes. I don't know if he's falling apart or is improperly used in Nashville, but he had a rough year for the salary he makes.

The only way to use Risto is 65-75% ozone starts.

I'm not passing on a chance of adding a top 6 and potential top line scorer for under 1M just to unload a contract that has little bearing on the short term cap space of the team. This team is no where near a crisis. Ridiculous.

did you know we have THREE (3) 6th round picks this year?!

I may be taking crazy pills, but, and hear me out.. What if we traded Okposo and all 3 6th round picks for... a 7th next year.

Here's the way I look at it in terms of why it should be done, and I'm sure that this will be picked apart, but keep in mind this is all hypothetical.

Skinner re-signs

$17m left, 5 players to sign

Say Tampa wants Risto. They say we'll give you Cirelli and Gourde for Risto and ERod, but you have to take Callahan

$11m to go, 4 players to sign

Take care of McCabe and Ullmark.

$5m to go, 2 to sign.

If you move Okposo for that lasted first, you clear up $6 more and can comfortably sign a stop gap 2C, or trade futures to acquire that

july 1 free agency, that's how players get overpaid

and if they're going to overpay a player, what's the difference between overpaying that player and them overpaying Okposo?

they're still overpaying

- Michael Pachla



Maybe the new guy can: Be

Younger
Skate faster
Kill penalties
Not worry about concussions
Fight
Score more then 14 goals
Not be content losing
Have Playoff experience
Not need to be protected for the Seattle expansion
Harder to play against

If you had Okposo, would you pay 15 and Okposo for a 6th?

They're not trading Foote. They've been planning on him coming up next year a along. Why do you think they have three RD 30+ y/o coming off the books.

Or, you dump some garbage salary, keep Okposo, use that 1st and/or Risto to trade for a long term 2C and not shell out ridiculous money for the potential to sign Duchene or Hayes.

Here is my self absorbed opinion. Trouba is a beast and would a fan favourite here in Buffalo. I dislike Okposo as much as everyone else here but I’d rather package Nylander and another piece to get rid of him rather then the late first.

Whether we use the pick, or trade it for top 6 help, it is a valuable resource. Give someone Nylander and the blues 2021 2nd to take Okposo off of our hands.

I mean, you might be right, but you're getting a right now RD for a developing RD. That's the purpose of the offer.
