my god... if he's as bad as he's made out to be on social media, then the sabres should be able to pull the wool over him in a trade...

but I don't think that he's even close to being as bad as twitter is making him out to be

Even after all his Issues Okposo had 29.

Just sayin’.

The Eric Staal deal was obviously the winner that year - 3 years, $10.5m

The dude absolutely crushed it

Karlsson
Duchene
Skinner
And Panarin are all much better than those players those.

Perhaps not all, or maybe none will make it to the UFA market, but right now this is by far the best UFA market since the cap.

What would it cost and what would the lineup look like, if the Sabres signed all these players?

Based on predictions, which overall seem to be a little high across the board, he's going to be the 5th highest cap hit signed in the offseason, just below Marner's $9,790,057 (8 yr) and just above Point's $8,244,551 (5 yr)

Other Buffalo players on the list highest probability projections

McCabe, 2 yr $2,734,834
Erod, 3 yr $2,447,913
Girgensons 3 yr $1,999,360
Lockport 2 yr $1,815,857
Pommer 1 yr $1,106,398
Elie 1 yr $908,568
Smith 1 yr $796,328
DOR 1 yr $693,984
Tennyson 1 yr $690,234

Hard to believe some of these, as some will be released and will receive 1 year offers, but I'm interested to see how close the projections are for Erod and McCabe

Funny you should ask.

Karlsson - 7yr-$9,461,795
Panarin - 7yr-$10,675,286
Duchene - 7yr-$7,817,050
Skinner - 8 yr-$8,494,899

These 4 add up to 36.5M. Add in Eichel, that's 46.5. Okposo, 52.5. The defense right now costs 23.5M, puts us at 76M. Trade Risto for ELCs, brings that down to 72M. Goalies add 4M. Puts us back to 76. Add Reinart, you're around 80. Gives you.. 2 million to fill out the forwards. This right here is where you trade a 1st to get rid of Okposo and Bogo

Nice work!

Sounds like a top heavy team, I’m curious how to fill out the remaining roster.
