Mustache of God Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Please don't be 7 years. Please don't be 7 years. I'm guessing it'll be 6-7 at 6.5. Won't believe it until the ink is on the paper but it's nice to know we can now get attractive free agents here. He'll be a good addition to Eichel's wing.

darksabre Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 NHL Rumors @NHLRumorsDaily 5m5 minutes ago Okposo signs with Buffalo on a 7 year deal DERP As long as it's not 7 x 7.

Buffalo Wings Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 As long as it's not 7 x 7. Keep the money under 7mil please so that it's at least a tradeable contract. 5 years at $25M seems reasonable :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 There is no beating HOSS when he's on his game, fastest keyboard in the NE. Okposo is going to be a very good pickup, he's going to surprise a bunch of the naysayers on this board. Kane-ROR-Okposo line is going to be a major chore to play against.

Hoss Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) I want to know about Okposo away from TavaresSomebody would have to do the work to prove it but multiple people on Twitter said his numbers improved when Frans Nielsen was his center. Sounds like they dipped slightly: Okposo had 1.74 5v5 points per 60 with Nielsen and 1.95 with Tavares. Edited July 1, 2016 by Hoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot Okposo suffered the detached retina. As someone with a permanently detached retina I'm really rooting for this guy if he lands here or not.
