He's taking his time, negotiation ploy for next year...he's betting on Hutton folding a couple more times.
His agent is not dumb.

FTFY

I know the leafs winning sucks. But I’m more worried about how the Sabres will play


The avs rolled us pretty good last time.

Yup. Expected them to be better this season, but not play that well.

Wait until Ottawa cashes it's 7 picks in rounds 1 & 2 in the draft this year....they'll be well positioned with a good young pipeline coming through.

And we will be at the bottom?

They have enough fire power to due some damage in the very near future.

11 picks in the 1st two rounds the next two years

Would you trade Okposo and the 3 years left on his deal for Bobby Ryan and the 2 yrs left on his deal(7.25 per)?

Actual money difference is 15 mil for Ryan and 14 mil for Okposo.

And we will be at the bottom?

Honestly, I have no idea what to think about this team anymore.
I'm not comfortable that Botts has what it takes to build a contending roster, and this offseason impacts the team in a very big way for the next 3+ years.

It's a pickle to be sure.

Sabres are done, sorry to say.

They have the potential to be dangerous in about 3-4 seasons.

How is Bobby Ryan still being paid that?

No, seems is held pretty well in the room

Sounds like Kahun may be out tonight. Still dealing with a knee injury

- mattsox

I’d say if Ryan has his demons in check, there’s a greater chance of him becoming a 40-45 player than Okposo ever will again.

The buyout cost would be much more reasonable with Ryan.

Yeah don’t care about that.

They need to explore any option to get out from under that contract. Even if it’s taking on a slightly higher deal for shorter term.

Yeah, I'm just shocked it hasn't been done yet.

That would take Melnyk to open up his moth filled wallet.

I've always been a fan of his.

I'm guessing a lot of his slide has been due to the demons. He's just an overpaid middle six.

Again if he’s got his demons checked, if you get a 2c it could be a very solid second line.

Toronto just lost Muzzin for 4 weeks with a broken hand.
