Better to waive him and at least save a million?

I'm all for waiving his ass, but not buying him out. That's ludicrous.

We can’t buy him out until next summer anyway, right?

Correct so it would be 6 years against the cap, if I'm not mistaken. Eff that.

My guess is he sweated off a big mac on the winner.

Just like his overall play: slow and disappointing

Just saw it. Wow is all I can say. Looked like the old timers game they used to play before the all star game. Seriously.

I did like Vesey’s move, that ice is poop or he had it

Conclusion, worst players overall were Okposo, Wilson, Nelson

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

I love that all of the garbage pail kids scored tonight

I think Joker is going to be something special. I can't believe we got him for so little.

Lazar and Gilmour making a case to stay with the big club to start. Does Gilmour beat out Nelson?

Tage looks noticeably bulkier through the pre-season. You can tell he hit the gym over the Summer.

Should be an interesting few days for sure.

Swapping out a couple bottom 6 players sends this team to the playoffs? Alrite then.
- TheSabresTaco

I didnt say that. But it might have pushed us toward being a bubble team.

You want Okposo to count against the cap for 8 more years?

Lmao.

YOU lost me.

Except it doesn’t save a million

You’ve gotta account for the Cap of the player replacing him

So maybe it would save a couple hundred thousand,
which isn’t that significant

Also...
while ppl like to bash Okposo
He’s actually not that bad of a bottom6 guy
Yeah, his contract sucks
But he did score 14goals without the benefit of being on a line with Jack

And yes... half of those were on the PP
Why is that a knock against him exactly?
Don’t we want guys that can score on PP2?

Lazar saves $300k with his $700k salary and brings more energy and spunk and the same level of terrible offensive play that Okposo does
