There had best be some madness unfolding... Just a little nervous Buffalo doesn't land an experienced, quality top 6 forward. Really want the Sabres to sign Okposo. And of course, still has to prove he is a true top 6 forward, I have high hopes Vesey also signs. It was crickets all night in general... Welp, I'm off to bed.

LTS Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I think the Sabres are in good shape if they don't land a top FA. Frankly it's usually overpayment day anyway. I'd rather the Sabres continue their controlled build than try to go out and swing for the fences. There has to be some limit to how many contracts the Sabres can go out and get right now as well unless they also move someone right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Dreger: No locks, but early expectations: Lucic goes to Oilers. Nielsen goes to Red Wings. Ladd goes to Isles and Eriksson goes to Canucks. #hunch McKenzie seconded these and added Brouwer to Calgary as a guess. Uh oh... McKenzie: "We've heard a lot of rumors about how hard Buffalo's going to go after Kyle Okpooso. Crazy money, supposedly." We'll see. #Sabres Edited July 1, 2016 by Hoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Arthur Staple was on GR this AM, Buffalo is high on Okposo's List as they have a franchise center close to JT in terms of skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Please no crazy money. Do not want for crazy money. going to be at least $7M per, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 going to be at least $7M per, right? Ughhhh I like Okposo, but...ugh....I don't know. I could live with 7M if we make some other moves to fix our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I wanted Eriksson. I'm not willing to do the insanely stupid contract Benning is no doubt about to give him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Again: Isn't it as much about term with Okposo? I think so. I want Okposo, but not into his mid 30s. I'd do 7.5 for 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoPre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Getting the feeling that we're about to do something really stupid. First time for everything.... In my opinion Murray hasn't done anything at the stupid level yet. Like to think he'll continue to play it smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I think so. I want Okposo, but not into his mid 30s. I'd do 7.5 for 5. This would be good all the way around. I would do this. Okposo's issue with Isles was term. But if the aggregate value is the same and somewhat guaranteed he should do it and maybe finish his career in Minnesota.

That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I think so. I want Okposo, but not into his mid 30s. I'd do 7.5 for 5. YES! . Give him even more annually for 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
