okposo + 2nd round pick and 50% retained for a 7th

do we take that? also he apparently has a 15 team ntc, complicates stuff

Kyle Okposo, 13 points in 35 games.

Jeff Skinner 13 points in 51 games.

One makes $6 million for 2 more years, the other $9 million for 6 more years.

Neither of them are REASONABLY tradeable.

Right because they are the only bad contracts in the NHL.

No other team has one that could benefit us, like a slightly overpaid goalie, or maybe a LD

We also have 0 prospects to give a team to possibly make a trade

Kyle Okposo has to be on this roster next season.

That’s kinda nuts

I’d think the GM would still have “final say”
- jdfitz77

Kevyn and Jason will be making decisions together, and Kevyn will be signing on the dotted lines.

Right
That’s his title

Doesn’t necessarily mean he has decision making power

You might, MIGHT, find one sucker in the league to make that deal with.

The question you have to ask yourself is, are YOU, as rival GM, making that trade?

you'd need a rich owner in with lots of cap space who wouldn't be afraid to bury him

revenue being way down and a flat cap probably makes this even harder lol

honestly i think it would cost a first round pick, or a 2nd and a 3rd, and at that point i dont think its worth it

Marleau made a mil more, and they didn’t retain.

Figure it out.

Other teams do
- sbroads24

Aside from our top 4 pick, which we aren't giving up for okposo.

Who would you trade with okposo:
Joker
Bryson
Mitts
Timber


Another team is going to want something of value

👏👏👏
I think the only reasonable way to get rid of Okposo is him retiring,
OR possibly buying him out IF the Pegulas would agree to it

You know me I'm all about keeping Risto here until he retires at 42 then becomes an Effort Coach at Harborcenter

Guess having those extra picks could come in handy.

It's definitely not worth a first. You have 2 more years w this guy.

By all means, if you can find some idiot willing to give you anything for him, you do it. I'm not holding my breath, nor am I holding it against Adams if he can't move him.

U don’t “KNOW” that simply based on a title

Do u think the “associate” captains are on the same level as the Captain as well?

Go read the article I posted above, the last few sentences. They will be making decisions together.

"Everything that's going to be happening from today moving forward in our organization, Jason's going to be involved with," Adams said. "We're going to make decisions together. We're going to work hand in hand in every area with other staff members."

I think the only realistic scenario is okposo+ for an equally underwhelming but slightly lower paid player

Last couple sentences in the article, what Taco said is right.
- Buff36

I didn’t mean that Karmanos being here was trivial
But i still think there’s an order to the chain of command

What happens when they disagree- flip a coin?
I doubt it

Seattle right?

Skimmers contract is far more immovable than okposo.

Okposo and a 7th for MAF as 1 poster suggested.

Maybe find an assistant gm somewhere? Like botts? 🤔

Aside from our top 4 pick, which we aren't giving up for okposo.

Who would you trade with okposo:
Joker
Bryson
Mitts
Timber

- Boss34

Doubt any of them are enough value

I think the only realistic scenario is okposo+ for an equally underwhelming but slightly lower paid player
- robz228

Then what's the point?

If you're only saving a few bucks and getting similar output, and you have to add a +, then really there's no point.

Yes, I do actually know this, for a fact.

i mean, my suggestion was always giving seattle olofsson to take okposo

Okposo + a 2nd for Miko Koskinen.

Bury him in Rochester as the third goalie

At least he would serve a purpose

All the Houser haters here must be pissed tonight.

Like I said last game, maybe he finds a backup role somewhere.

Nice story for him.
