Okposo + a 2nd for Miko Koskinen.

Bury him in Rochester as the third goalie

At least he would serve a purpose

i just can't imagine any reason edmonton would want to add a slow overpaid winger though, and they aren't in a position to value a 2nd round pick as highly

maybe ken holland is ancient enough to do it, idk

It's literally THAT easy to move Okposo.

They obviously had no interest in moving him after each of the last three terrible years he had here.

You guys are making this WAY harder than it needs to be.... “hey, Kyle, wanna uproot your family and move to another city. Or do you want Adams old job at the harbor center? Feeling itchy yet?”


Before the start of 2017–18 season, the Blackhawks revealed that Hossa was suffering from a progressive skin disorder called eczema and would miss the entire 2017–18 season while undergoing treatment.[54][55] The Blackhawks officially placed Hossa on long-term injured reserve on 4 October 2017.[56] In May 2018, Hossa announced he could no longer play professional hockey due to complications from his skin disorder. Hossa states that if it was not for his condition, he thinks that he could have still played a few more years.[57] He intends to retire formally after his contract expires in 2021.[58]

I can’t sit here and excuse this team of having to play Kyle Okposo the duration of his contract, especially with an expansion draft coming up.

For god sakes Marc Staal was just acquired by a team. Cost a 2nd to unload

He’s about as bad as you get

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


Lol.... sure u do

I don’t doubt Karmanos has a seat at the table,
but i don’t think he’s Adams’ equal either

Someone has “final say”
More than reasonable to think that’s the GM & not the “associate”

I really don’t want to extend him, too big of a cap hit. Or give up one of the kids for him. Just send him in the offseason for a goalie or RW...

Surely you understand the difference between having 4/5 years left on your deal as opposed to 2, right?

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.

He's the same overpaid player that no GM in their right mind will trade for, no matter the years,

Same with Skinner.

Useless contracts are traded all the damn time and not always for first round picks.

It’s an excuse

Why are the Sens helping out what will be a division rival?

KO's 15 team no trade list no doubt has Ottawa on it, anyway.

And it’s a bad one

There was one this season when multiple bad contracts were traded.

Saying it’s impossible is just accepting this team is incompetent

We can try that, but it doesn’t mean they’ll accept
Ottawa isn’t known to spend $$$ with their cheap a$$ owner calling the shots

And Adams shouldn’t be judged on convincing someone to take Okposo off our hands

Maybe move okposo for one of those better 30 point players that are better than 50 point player's?
