Okposo is younger and we have Girgensons if he's not moved, why do we need Backus ? waste of money. There is no reason to start throwing money around just because Stamkos has signed. But he does like Okposo.

We don't need either tbh. Not at the price they want. Okposo is the biggest name out there now, whoever signs him will regret it.

One GM going nuts doesn't set the market. I would do Ennis and a second though.

This is the cost of business. This is Tim Murray not be a (frank)ing idiot and trade #8 for a top 4 guy. This is 29 other GMs not as desperate as dummie feckballs Chiarelli.

I'd like to think that now that every team has a goalie better than Chad Johnson, he may actually consider sticking around. That'd be cool. Or Reimer.

I'm not saying Okposo is the answer but Backus sure as hell isn't either.

You don't like Johnson, or you don't like the deal he'll likely ask for/get?

Float the 2017 first out there. See what kind of return you get at forward.

Given that it's UFA and there will be a premium. I'd be willing to go to $6M on Okposo for 2 years. He'd never do it and for good reason. I really wish you could add optional years to a contract in the NHL. That would make it so much easier. 2 year deal guaranteed and a 3rd, 4th and 5th all optional from either side. Plus it makes everything more interesting. Will the team pick up player Y's option? Will player X opt out?

People need to understand that Backes is the final piece you sign to win the cup

Washington should give him a call

Is still negotiate. Connection to media and US sources. Can confirm Stamkos waive his NMC for sign/trade.

Do nothing.

Move Eichel to 1C.

Reinhart to 2C.

RoR to wing.

Have Bylsma find the forward pairings that work.

Bring up Bailey and Fasching. See what happens.

Anahiem has to move Fowler. They know they do so does everyone else. If a Nash trade happens and Vesey is signed I could send a 2017 first to Anahiem for him. Knowing it should be a pick in the 20's

Nah trading Eichel for Larsson would be

I'd much rather take a vet such as Staal than signing Okposo.
